Several Microsoft execs have been teasing the company’s new Surface Duo on social media in the past couple of weeks, and it seems like the dual-screen device could launch very soon. Yesterday, Twitter user @samsungbloat published official marketing images for the Surface Duo and its various accessories, and one of the pictures shows the dual-screen device next to a Surface Pen and Surface Earbuds in a new dark grey color. Another image reveals the Duo’s charger and bumper case, which we previously saw in various pictures published by Microsoft execs.

In a following tweet, the leaker also revealed that the Surface Duo would start at $1400, though take this with a grain of salt. This price wouldn’t be unreasonable for a new form factor with a premium design, and previous folding devices from Samsung and Huawei have also been priced well above $1400.
Following these latest leaks, Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer Panos Panay tweeted what looks to be a small clip of a new Surface Duo marketing video. The 10 seconds video shows the Surface Duo’s 360° hinge in slow motion, and this short snippet definitely matches the incredible production quality we’ve seen in previous Surface product videos in the past couple of years.
