It features two displays which unfold and can be used individually or together as a single 8.1in screen.
Running on Android, the Surface Duo is designed to support a number of multitasking modes and includes a 360-degree hinge for placement and use in a range of positions.
Microsoft will sell the device via its own online store, as well as through Currys PC World.
The Surface Duo serves as a new rival in the emerging foldable phone category for the likes of Samsung and Huawei, both of which have already released a number of flexible screen devices.
