'Captain America: Brave New World' Has a Surprising Cameo From a Microsoft Device

I saw Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World, and was all-in on Harrison Ford's Red Hulk (including the monster's chest hair). However, I'll save my thoughts on how good, or how tedious, the film was for later. But there was one moment that made me chuckle, and then made me think. Don't worry -- this doesn't spoil anything.
At one point in the movie Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, pulls out his phone to show another character some information (see, no spoils). Captain America's phone of choice? A Microsoft Surface Duo.
At first I thought this was an odd choice. Sam seems to have all the superhero tech he could want, aside from Super Soldier Serum (which is in part what makes him so wonderful as Captain America). He's got Wakanda-ified wings, cool flight googles, Redwing and… a Surface Duo phone. Three of the four of these make perfect sense for Captain America.
