Dual-screen Surface Duo smartphone revealed by Microsoft

It's probably not full size because then your fingers when wrapped around the frame would be in contact with the screen and thus add touch input at times you don't want.
At least as it is, you can hook your fingers around the front and have areas you can safely provide stable grip.

One thing that is worth remembering is that this isn't due until late 2020, so the design could change a lot.
Yeah don't most phones use software mechanisms to bypass the side touching issue of no bezels? Another issue is that LCD screens still need some amount of bezel for the controller and this has two of them and aims at symmetry, still they could probably cut a fair bit off with many modern parts I think.
Yes and no. The app or software in use can override the OS parameters of the smart recognition.
Asphalt 9 legend (I use this for testing terminals) is horrendous on a galaxy s10+ for it. The slightest touch of the screen edge recognises it as input and sends the car off the intended race line/brake etc.
Given our hate of bezels in this day and age, there has to be a specific reason for this design. It sure isnt pretty, so it has to serve a function > aesthetics reason.
Nope can't be releasing a product like that in 2020. Tablets moved to thin bezels already.
It's a bit like apple persisting if their horrific notch.
Except that its not a tablet. We dont know how the internals are designed. They cant just copy the Galaxy fold etc without patent infringement so this might be their way around. Sadly I won't get a prototype of this one for testing. Not that I want one.
The Galaxy fold is a bit poop. Even after they fixed the issues, in certain angles of light, you can still see the centre seam running down the whole screen.

Wish I had your job... i'd love to play with all the new toys and get paid doing it ^_^
It has its disadvantages too. Apple are extremely strict with sometimes insane deadlines for bundle tests. That means long hours trying to perform tests that are difficult to replicate. e.g. testing handover to 2G when LTE is not available.
Given our network claims to have a 98% National LTE coverage and excellent indoor signalling, its hard to find a silo or carpark deep enough to force the scenario. Apple don't care how we do it, just that they want it done.
I would love to show you some of the terminals and watches we test that are not on the market, or haven't even leaked to the press yet. NDA has me slammed down so hard it's not worth the risk.
