Windows 10 20H2 update will arrive next month with a few new features, like a visually refreshed Start menu, improved notifications, preinstalled Chromium Edge browser and the ability to Alt+Tab through Edge tabs, according to Tech News.

On other hand, this version of Windows 10 is the first to come with the new Chromium-based Edge browser preinstalled.

It boasts a Collections feature that handily captures and stores snippets from web pages in a scrolling window on the right side of the screen. Just drag a page to the window and review any time, or send saved items to Word or Excel.

Vertical browser tabs make it easier to keep tabs on large numbers of open pages. Smart copy saves snippets along with their formatting, including images, links and text stylings.

In contrast, Now greater integration between the phone and PC is available. Users will be able to view links, images and notes acquired on their phones on their desktop PCs as well. Tapping the share button selecting the your Phone companion app will transfer images and files to the Windows 10 PC.

In addition the contacts can now be easily shared between devices. A new Contacts section will be added to the desktop Your Phone app.

Later, Microsoft’s unveiled the Surface Duo and it’ll be shipping on September 10th. Surface Duo will retail at $1,399, which is more expensive than many flagships including the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ($1,299).

It has two 5.6-inch screens that combine into one larger 8.1-inch PixelSense Fusion display. It’s all held together by a revolutionary 360-degree hinge” that we’re praying keeps out debris a little better than Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold.

According to Microsoft, that’ll make it the thinnest mobile device on the market,” though of course it won’t be quite as sleek when it’s folded.

Sporting two single displays at 1800×1350 or a combined 2700×1800 single view, the AMOLED with 401 PPI keeps the legacy alive that Microsoft builds high-quality displays

In addition, an old Snapdragon 855, 6GB of RAM, 128 or 256 GB of storage, 3577 mAh dual battery, fast charging with the 18w included charger and a run time of 15.5hrs of local video playback. Keep in mind that battery life is likely optimistic if other Surface benchmarks indicate real-world performance we could be looking at sub-10 hrs of real-world usage.

But this isn’t a laptop that is used continuously and the company says the standby time is up to 10 days with up to 27hrs
