The Surface Duo has received some criticism for features it’s lacking, like NFC and wireless charging. “Surface Duo is purpose-built for mobile productivity and giving people new ways to complete complex tasks while away from their computer,” Microsoft said after Duo’s launch. “With this core priority complete, we will listen to customer feedback and apply that lens to future iterations of the product.”

Surface Duo is available to preorder now starting at $1,400.
