Microsoft confirms October 2 event. Could the two-screen Surface finally debut?

Microsoft has announced that it will be holding a media event in New York City on October 2. Although the “Save the Date” media invites do not specifically mention Surface lineup, the Fall timeline would make it the perfect opportunity for a reveal of the long-rumored dual-screen Centarus device, as well as other Surface hardware.

Previous October events from Microsoft have served as the announcements of the Surface Pro 6, as well as the Surface Studio and Surface Laptop. This time, however, the media invite cryptically hints at the reveal of a possible foldable device. Instead of featuring the full-version traditional Microsoft Surface Logo, parts appear to be omitted, in the same way that a dual-screen device would fold.

In the lead up to the announcement of the media event, there have been several rumors supporting the existence of a dual-screen Surface Centarus device. It was said that the device was privately demonstrated internally to employees at Microsoft. Several listings on LinkedIn have also indicated the progress of a new version of Windows, known as Windows Core OS, which is reported to be powering this new device. Patents have also showcased Microsoft’s work on the project, from the hinges, display, and even the way apps would work.

While other rumors indicate that Microsoft is planning for a 2020 public release of Surface Centarus, other laptop and phone makers have already revealed dual-screen devices. Lenovo recently showcased a ThinkPad with a foldable display, and Samsung has its troubled Galaxy Fold.

Digital Trends will be on the ground in New York and will be attending Microsoft’s October 2 event.
