You can pre-order it now starting at $1,500, and it’ll be available on October 21st.
I’m curious to see if the new triple camera system and the problems it introduces are a bane or boon to the Duo series, but for now I’m cautiously optimistic about the second Duo. We’ll also need to run our own battery test to see how long the Duo 2’s 4,449mAh cell lasts, as well as how successful Microsoft was at fixing the flaws of the original. That responsiveness could also be attributed to the beefy Snapdragon 888 processor that powers the Duo 2, though we’ll have to perform real-world testing to be sure. Admittedly, I didn’t spend much time with the Duo 2, so I’m still cautious about the seemingly improved software, but Microsoft has indeed been working on fixing past issues. The base Surface Duo 2 launched with a price of 1,499.99 and Best Buy is currently selling it for 824.99, so youll get to save 675.

The device will be supported until at least late 2024 and it also got the big screen focused Android 12L OS recently. The original Duo was riddled with bugs, and even simple things like expanding an app to span both displays were difficult. The Surface Duo 2 comes with a triple-lens camera, unlike the first model which only had a single-lens camera. The battery lasts a day with moderate use. It also tries to mimic the feel and resistance of pen on paper, and I spent more time with this on the new Surface Laptop Studio than on the Duo 2.įrankly, the fact that I encountered so few hiccups with the Duo 2 surprised me. Microsoft also added support for its new Slim Pen 2, which offers haptic feedback so doodlers or artists can feel a vibration when they put the stylus to the screen. I’m used to a 90Hz screen by now, thanks to long-term use of the Pixel 5, but it’s certainly a nice feature to see. I loaded up Engadget’s website and expanded it across the two displays, scrolling frenetically up and down on an article, and the two halves of the page did indeed keep pace with each other. Both panels now run at 90Hz and are supposed to be in sync, too. This could potentially make it easier to drag apps across screens, which I was able to do quickly during my demo.Īnother new feature that makes the Duo 2 feel faster than the original is its higher refresh rate. The company also introduced a slight curve on the inner edges of each screen - an effect that’s reminiscent of pages in an open book. Indeed, at 5.5mm (or 0.21 inches) thick, the Duo 2 is certainly sleek. The phone starts at 1,499 and is available for. Speaking of, Microsoft claims that this is the thinnest 5G mobile device on the market. Microsoft just announced the Surface Duo 2, which comes with a slew of upgrades affecting everything from the camera to the processor and display.
