Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Price and competitionĪlas, the Surface Duo 2 is still excruciatingly expensive. The previous model had to make do with a solitary (and frankly rather shoddy) 11MP camera.
Perhaps the most obvious upgrade is the new triple-camera block on the rear, which now incorporates a 12MP main camera, 12MP 2x telephoto sensor and a 16MP ultrawide unit. Internally, the Surface Duo 2 is powered by a much faster Snapdragon 888 chipset, with an extra 2GB of RAM (8GB) and an option to increase the internal storage up to 512GB. The concept remains the same: you open it up like a book, and there’s not much you can do with it while closed, although this year the Duo 2 has a pair of 8.3in screens on the inside (up from 8.1in), which now have a boosted refresh rate of 90Hz and support for HDR playback. Microsoft’s much-maligned foldable flagship is back and plenty of stuff has changed this year, mostly for the better. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: What you need to know
And while it’s still far from perfect, the Surface Duo 2 is finally a worthwhile addition to the folding phone arena – all Microsoft needs to do now is reconsider how much it’s charging for one. With some phone makers deciding to incorporate flexible displays into their designs, others, like Microsoft, are following a far simpler route, instead merely placing two screens side by side, with a hinge separating the two.Įach design has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, and while there’s no doubt that Samsung’s bendy screens gain most of the attention whenever a new model launches, sometimes the simple path is the one best travelled.Īnd so, the dual-screened Surface Duo returns, although this time Microsoft has made a bit of an effort to address the (many) criticisms of the original.

While a bit of a novel concept, manufacturers are still in the planning stages of figuring out how to make (and sell) folding smartphones.
