Microsoft Surface event announced, could include the Surface Duo 2 reveal

TL;DR

• Microsoft could finally reveal the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 smartphone during a planned September 22 press event.
• The Android-based phone was previously leaked with what looked like a new camera module.
• Microsoft could also announce a new Surface Pro tablet, a new Surface laptop, and the Surface Go 3 at the event.

Microsoft looks like it will have a packed Surface press event three weeks from today. The company just announced plans to hold an online event on Wednesday, September 22, beginning at 11:00 AM ET.

In addition to the Duo 2, the Surface press event is expected to debut several Windows-based hardware devices. Based on Microsoft’s own teaser image for the event, one of them could be the Surface Pro 8 tablet. Windows Central adds that we could also see a new Surface Pro X tablet, a new Surface-branded convertible notebook, and a Surface Go 3 budget laptop revealed at the event.

The event is being held less than two weeks before Microsoft officially launches Windows 11, the next major version of its Windows PC operating system. Microsoft promoted the OS’s support for running Android apps via the Amazon app store, but this week the company admitted that support wouldn’t be available at launch. Users can test it out via the Windows Insider program sometime in the coming months.
