Microsoft has released the software development kit (SDK) for it’s upcoming dual-screen foldable Android phone the Surface Duo.

Now that the software development tools — which includes a software emulator — are in the hands of developers, people are sharing videos of how the system navigation works across the side-by-side displays.

When Microsoft announced the unique phone/productivity device last fall, it mentioned that it’s going to be on sale during the holiday season of 2020. It failed to mention anything more specific or related to the Canadian market.

In the below videos, there appear to be some custom swipe gestures that send apps from one screen to another that look pretty cool. Interestingly, the second video also shows off some kind of ‘Call Screen’ feature. It will be interesting to see if this is in the final build or not.
