I could see them launching an Android “SurfacePhone” just because (to have SOME stance in mobile). Or Windows-based since Windows already has an android subsystem (or emulator right?).

It's called the Surface Duo, it's already on its second generation.

$1500 Android phone is giving me some Ballmer-era level laughs.

Nowadays it's fine if it is made well (actually not good even in 2nd gen, for software)

The Samsung Fold 3 was around this price at launch.

Hmm, if it had a headphone jack and NFC-F (which it seems the Japanese edition might?) I'd be interested. Microsoft has always made good hardware.

That's a foldable phone that you never use in 'full screen' mode, correct? For $1,500? Ouch.

I honestly don't understand which market segment that device is targeted to.
