These Android apps are designed for Microsoft's Surface Duo



Surface Duo dual screen UI

The Microsoft Surface Duo, the dual-screen revolutionary hardware unveiled in 2019, is now shipping in the United States. Microsoft is charging $1,399 for the Surface Duo with 128GB of storage. If you want 256GB of storage, you need to pay $1,499.


The device uses last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, single 11-megapixel camera, and relatively small 3577mAh battery. It’s pocketable at 145.2mm x 93.3mm x 9.9mm (thinner than the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra) and it’s more like a tablet than a phone if you use it with both screens open.




Surface Duo ships with the heavily skinned and specified version of Android rather than Windows (Phone).


While there’s no app gap problem and all your Android apps should just work, some apps will work best only if they’re optimized for the dual screens, and fully leveraging hinge-based form factor.


Microsoft also made the rather surprising revelation that it worked closely with Google to optimize the OS and Google apps for a dual-screen future. That includes not just the Android 11 but also apps like Google Play Music, Maps, and also YouTube.



Based on the reports from users across social media platforms, here’s a list of apps optimized for the dual-screen.
