I'm an Apple guy, but Microsoft's Surface Duo has me green with envy. At least one of its newly disclosed features, leaked by a Twitter tipster, made me wonder if Apple could find a way to do something similar. And owners of Samsung's Galaxy Fold are sure to appreciate a similar feature.

Let's say you're out with some people and trying to focus on the task at hand. But you are still stuck in the funnel of news streaming from your device. That's when the new "peak" feature comes in handy, showing just a few bits of data, such as notifications and the time, on the right display.

This new attempt to keep notifications hidden until you see them makes a lot of sense and could free people from their phone addiction. Thanks to @h0x0d on Twitter for the leak.

This feature allows you to open Duo discreetly and go about your day more consciously. Looking below, you can see that in "peek-a-boo" mode you can also see incoming calls, but since there is no outward-facing screen, it makes sense that it would not be able to alert you to incoming calls.

For those unfamiliar with Duo, you may wonder how Windows can do this, but Microsoft's foldable is actually an Android device. foldable device versions of Android are already available for developers. available, and we've seen some cool uses, such as easy multitasking and swiping apps from one screen to another.
