Microsoft’s upcoming Surface Duo was announced last year and key specifications were leaked in May. Today, the dual-screen Surface Duo with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi passed through the FCC in the latest step toward launch.

Earlier today, FCC published documents for a Microsoft “phablet device” under model number 1930. According to the listing, the dual-screen device supports LTE (4G), Bluetooth, and 802.11ac WiFi. Unsurprisingly, support for NFC, including wireless payment, is not included.

Besides the FCC docs, there is nothing else to glean from these filings at the moment, but it does confirm that Surface Duo could be heading to the stores near you soon.

FCC has also confirmed that there will be no NFC support for the Surface Duo and the phone will feature the standard connectivity options.

It’s worth noting that Surface Duo hardware was finalized in October 2019 and a lot of the work for Duo’s software is already done. It runs Android 10 but with a custom launcher from Microsoft and it also supports gestures.
