If you’re interested in this, Keep in mind that when it was launched, the software really sucked, so you’ll see loads of reviews and comments from people telling you it absolutely sucks, and for a while they were 100% correct.
However, surprisingly Microsoft have updated the hell out this thing! Now while it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea as a Daily Driver phone, and the camera isn’t amazing, it’s actually a really fun and useful device, and if you appreciate great design and engineering it’s a beautiful device that’s impossibly thin, this doesn’t come across in Photos, but there is this “wow” factor, where you are wondering how the hell there can be a screen battery and electronics inside this thing!
Microsoft have done the complete opposite of leaving this device in the cold, it’s bang up to date with security (still Android 11, with 12L coming soon). …and in terms of Security updates, it might surprise you to know it’s actually more up to date than the Galaxy Fold 4!

A "Protective case" is included with this device - the "Microsoft Surface Duo Bumper" case. It wraps around the edges of the phone, protecting not only the body but the hinges as well.
Use the supplied charger! My device had dead flat battery on delivery. It refused to charge on my two existing (decent) chargers and cables (same) - 0 power bars showing after (attempted) charge overnight. So, plugged in the supplied power plug and cable and device came to life quickly, then began offering set-up....After first charge and boot other chargers work fine.
Sold as dual SIM, but one is an E-SIM; your options for getting one are very limited in the UK
