Key notes

In 2019, Microsoft announced two new dual-screenmobile devicesat a New York hardware event. The Surface Duo and SurfaceNeowere the devices revealed at that event.

While the big M has released the Duo, theNeoremains on ice. A new YouTube video suggests Microsoft has canceled theNeo.

The SurfaceNeowas originally slated for a 2020 release. However, that device has not seen the light of day. Microsoft has reputedly delayed SurfaceNeobecause of a changed Windows 10X strategy.

Therefore, it has been speculated Microsoft will hold back on releasingNeountil 2022.

Some speculate that the delay may lead to a cancelation

Such delays have inevitably fueled rumors that Microsoft has canceled SurfaceNeo. A new Hikari Calyx Tech video pageon YouTubesays the SurfaceNeohas been canceled.

That page includes the video directly below.

That video shows what looks like a genuine SurfaceNeolike the one shown in the official MicrosoftNeovideo. The video includes what looks like a prototype chassis of theNeotablet. The device doesn’t incorporate its paired displays.

Rumors aboutNeocancellation were raised by changes on the big M’s website. Microsoft has completely removed the SurfaceNeoproduct listing page from its website.

The original product listing page for theNeoonce said Microsoft will release that device in the 2020 holiday season.

Yet, Microsoft’s Mr. Panay reiterated throughout 2020 theNeois only delayed. In a Verge interview, Mr. Panay is quoted as saying:

Neo is delayed… I wanted the right time to bring that product with the right experience. We believe in that concept and form factor and size. It will be a beautiful complement to Duo with Windows and I’m excited about it. It’s a product that’s near and dear to my heart.

So, the official Microsoft line is that the SurfaceNeohas been delayed. If you really can’t wait for theNeo,Microsoft’s Surface Duodual-screen mobile is the next best thing that is currently available
