The polycarbonate ring running around the outside of the screens and the camera bump is the only knock we have on the design. (we’ll talk about the significance of that in a bit). They’re connected by a thin hinge, and on the hinge side, there’s a bit of curved glass. You have two 1892 x 1344, 90Hz screens with up to 800 nits of brightness. Adam Doud/Digital Trends Design and displayĪs with the first generation of the Microsoft Duo, this phone’s build is exquisite. I have been using the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 for approximately four weeks on AT&T’s 5G network. The score has not changed, but I have added additional context to some sections after further testing. But that doesn’t make it any less fun to use. I am not the target audience for this phone. It’s a flagship for those people with a hell of a lot of disposable income at their beck and call. The Microsoft Duo 2 is still a device for power users and multitaskers looking to get things done. This year, Microsoft released the Microsoft Surface Duo 2, which represents a pretty big course correction, while still trying to fill the same niche. But there’s something called “Glance bar” which is the part of the display showing between the hinges. No, the Surface Duo 2 does not have an external display like the one you get to see on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Plus, it can shoot 4K video up to 60fps and HDR video. There is a huge chance the new triple-camera module on the Duo 2 will be comparable to modern phones. This is a big improvement over the original model, which had a single camera on the outside and it was a bad one. In fact, there are three cameras: a 12-megapixel f/1.7 primary camera with OIS, a 16-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide and a 12-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto with OIS and 2x optical zoom.

Microsoft offers three internal storage capacity options of 128GB/256GB/512GB with the same 8GB of RAM available in all three models. Microsoft has also added a fingerprint reader which is housed in the power button. In fact, Microsoft says the Duo 2 is the thinnest 5G device on the market. It also supports 5G connectivity( Sub-6 and mmWave 5G radios supported).

This is the same processor that powers the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3. The Surface Duo was criticized for its weak performance, so it’s good to see the latest Snapdragon 888 inside the Duo 2. The company says 150 games, including Asphalt Legends 9, Modern Combat 5, and Dungeon Hunter 5, are optimized for the Duo 2. There is also an option to use the Surface Duo as Nintendo 3DS. The device is light, and it’s very easy to hold it one-handed in Book mode, or prop the device on a flat surface and watch movies on the Duo 2 in Tent mode. No surprise, really, given that the Surface Duo has a 360-degree hinge. Are there multiple ways to use the Surface Duo 2?

And yes, the new displays support a 90Hz refresh rate which should make scrolling and moving apps buttery smooth. While there are sizable bezels on the Duo 2, we do get to see two 5.8-inch displays (up from 5.6-inch displays on the previous model), 1344 x 1892 OLED displays connected by a hinge.

I heard the Surface Duo 2 has bigger displays. This time around, Microsoft has added three cameras on the rear of the Duo 2, so it is easy to differentiate the new model from the old model. When folded, the Surface Duo fits comfortably in your back pocket. It’s still a big and wide device, like your passport. But the new model is more sturdy, and the glass on the rear now gently curves into the edges. The new Duo 2 is slightly thicker and heavier than the first Surface Duo. The Surface Duo 2 looks similar to the original Duo except for few minor changes. (Image credit: Microsoft) Does the Surface Duo 2 look different from the previous model?
