It contained no information about the phone aside from the pictures shown in this article. After the device was sold and delisted, Bowden\u2019s sources verified that it\u2019s an authentic prototype.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bowden\u2019s contacts, this device is codenamed \u201cCronos.\u201d It\u2019s a canceled mid-range version of the Surface Duo 2, and it was supposed to launch in late 2022. Unlike the original Surface Duo 2, \u201cCronos\u201d lacks a curved display, has just two rear cameras, and uses a plastic shell. It also runs on an older Snapdragon chip and probably uses a 60Hz display, though we don\u2019t know the specifics.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft probably canceled the Cronos to focus on the flagship Surface Duo 3. And by all means, that\u2019s the right choice. Customers who want a cheap Surface Duo can just buy the first-gen model, which launched with outdated hardware, underwhelming cameras, and a very fragile design. It regularly <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NEW-Microsoft-Surface-128GB-Unlocked\/dp\/B08JTDPRM1?tag=reviewgeek-20\">sells for under $500<\/a>\u00a0(a third of its launch price).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the person who bought this prototype, please consider sharing it with the world. We\u2019d love to know what this phone is capable of and how it differs from the Surface Duo 2.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/hardware\/laptops\/canceled-mid-range-surface-duo-leaks-with-dual-camera-array-and-plastic-exterior\">Windows Central<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
