Microsoft Surface Duo spotted on Vancouver SkyTrain

This isn't the first time the Microsoft Surface Duo has been spotted in the wild—even the company's CEO Satya Nadella has been seen with it. The dual-screened, foldable tablet and smartphone is slated for a launch later this year, and it looks like it's getting some real-world testing. Twitter user Israel Rodriguez (@yzraeu) spotted the Surface Duo on the Vancouver SkyTrain.

It looks like the user is checking email on the right screen, while the left shows the homescreen. There isn't much else you can glean from the photo. But it does look similar to what we've seen of the Surface Duo before. This out-in-the-wild appearance won't be the last time we'll see this hybrid device. With its release nearing, we're sure there will be more information about the Surface Duo, well, surfacing.
