Its most unique feature feels more fleshed out thanks to dual-screen gaming. Microsoft’s second foldable phone feels like a significantly better device as it’s a more thoroughly modern smartphone. According to Microsoft, this device should be able to stay on for 15.5 hours of local video playback, so we can mostly expect all-day battery life. Battery capacity also sees a major increase from 3577mAh to 4449mAh. The Surface Duo 2 has been updated internally and it comes rocking the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor that also grants it 5G connectivity. Better yet, writing and drawing on the Surface Duo 2 feels even more natural thanks to the faster 90Hz display.

This time, the Surface Duo 2 gets a new case that magnetically clips the Surface Slim Pen 2 right onto the front cover, making it look like a perfect digital moleskin notebook. While the original Surface Duo was compatible with the slim Surface Pen it felt like more of an afterthought since you couldn’t stow it anywhere on the device. This Glance Bar lights up with colors to show your the current time, volume level, and icons for notifications. It's bad enough the device doesn't sit flatly on a give surface, but the camera bump also gets in the way of fully folded back the device onto itself as it gets wedged between its two halves.Īnother ingenious feature of the new Surface Duo 2 is the Glance Bar, cleverly built into the little strip of the display you can see between the device’s hinges. The new triple camera array sadly adds a substantial camera bump to the back of the device.

Microsoft promises its cameras can take high-dynamic range photos and 4K video, but I was only able to shoot in a mostly stark white event space that didn’t allow me to push the camera, so this will be something tested in the full review.

Ultra-Wide: 16MP, f/2.2 aperture, 13mm, 1.0µm, a 110-degree diagonal field of view with distortion correction.

Telephoto: 12MP, f/2.4 aperture, 51mm, 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, and 2X optical zoom in.

Wide: 12MP, f/1.7 aperture, 27mm, 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF and OIS.

This time Microsoft opted to fit the Surface Duo 2 with the three wide-angle, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras we would expect on any premium smartphone these days. It’s so simple to bring up two separate apps across the screen, interchange them between either side or blow one up across both displays.įlipping to the back of the Surface Duo 2, it shockingly has cameras this time which felt like a major omission on the original foldable. Outside of gaming, multi-tasking on this device still feels amazingly intuitive. The games also felt responsive with minimal lag despite streaming it over the least ideal event space Wi-Fi, so I expect the gaming on this phone will feel even more seamless on the go and at home. The two games looked surprisingly sharp on one of the foldable’s 5.8-inch screens – sadly, you can’t stretch the video across the whole 8.3-inch display.

The Surface Duo 2 also comes prebaked with the Game Pass app for game streaming, plus a one-month paid subscription to the service.ĭuring my hands-on time, I was able to play some Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4.

Yes, this feature came through as an update to the original Surface Duo in May 2021, but it feels even more refined here. Of course, that all adds up to a better gaming experience, and the Surface Duo 2 smartly displays the game on one side while putting touch controls on the other. Overall, the new screens on the Surface Duo 2 pop more with more brightness, more vibrant colors, and smoother motions. The displays are faster, too, at 90Hz, so writing and flipping through apps feels smoother. That’s not nearly as piercingly bright as the screens on the iPhone 13, but it’s a big improvement for usability in broad daylight. Those Dual PixelSense Fusion displays aren’t just bigger but also brighter with a new maximum brightness of 800-nits.
