The photo is of Costas Panay, the son of the businessman, who is on the floor of the house reading and with headphones, glued to a traditional Surface. “Sharing a special moment captured on my Surface Duo. While working from home, Costas is learning at home. (…) It’s great for him to have tools like Windows and Surface to help with his home studies,” published Panos on the social network. The photo indicates that the Surface Duo’s camera is at least good, since the image has a certain quality even compressed by Instagram and probably without so much aesthetic care on the part of the amateur photographer. Still, she doesn’t come close to models specializing in photography. This was a concern of the public, since the company came to disclose that the device “will have one of the best cameras on the market”, but without any technical details about the components. Furthermore, this is probably an image captured with the Surface Duo’s selfie camera, since at least the models shown so far do not have rear sensors and are focused on productivity and multitasking. Tests at full throttle Microsoft is committed to increasingly testing the device, which has even been spotted in use on a subway. Only now it is no longer a secret: during the period of social isolation due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus, several high-ranking officials of the giant took the device to test in their homes. Brad Anderson, who is vice president of the Microsoft 365 division, posted a photo of him showing his children the device. “I am explaining the new co-management numbers on the left screen, and we are using the pen to color Peppa Pig on the right screen”, he jokes. The Surface Duo is expected to launch later this year.
