Is it too late for the Surface Duo in the UK?

Technically, these are Sprint-specific 5G-enabled units fetching just 260 bucks a pop, which actually explains that crazy low price, at least in part. While the “Now Network” is no longer a thing, this 6.4-inch handset should be able to obtain a 4G LTE signal on T-Mobile with absolutely no problem across the nation.

Although AT&T LTE functionality is theoretically possible as well, there are a number of important missing bands that suggest Ma Bell customers might be better served by other devices, including lower-end models. Finally, Verizon compatibility is simply off the table, so don’t even think of going there.

All that being said, T-Mobile subscribers are likely to find it quite difficult to resist an impulse buy right now. After all, this is a beautiful phone (unnecessarily wide notch aside), with a premium metal-and-glass construction, a high-quality P-OLED display in tow sporting a top-notch (pun intended) resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels, and a decent 6 gigs of RAM paired with that aforementioned state-of-the-art Qualcomm SoC… from 2019.

The Snapdragon 855 is obviously considerably faster than all modern 600 and possibly 700-series chipsets as well, not to mention the LG V50 ThinQ also comes with a large 4,000mAh battery under its hood, a grand total of five cameras (including three on its back), and yes, both a headphone jack and microSD card slot. It sure looks like a blast from the past might not be the worst thing to go for, especially if you’re on a tight budget.
