In the briefing that feels a lot like a regular, but toned-down phone announcement, Microsoft's chief product officer Panos Panay acknowledges straight away that the company is in a unique position with its new device. It already spilled almost all the beans itself when it pre-announced the Surface Duo last year, and now the team can't even interact with a live audience to make the reveal more bombastic. They eventually decided to go for the private live event that still (impressively) spans across multiple Microsoft buildings. The video even lets you peek into the Surface team's design lab while also showing off some high-res renders of the new device in Microsoft's trademark videography style. Panos Panay and team members go hands-on with the Surface Duo, too, giving us an idea of what it feels like in action.
