MICROSOFT DUO 2 RELEASE DATE SOFTWARE

It sounds like a complete package, especially considering the last Duo only had one inner camera. There's a night mode, portrait mode and HDR, and it can record up to 60 frames per second at 4K plus record slow-mo. There's now an external camera on the Duo 2 - three of them, in fact: a f/1.7 12-megapixel telephoto lens, a f/2.4 12MP wide lens, and a third 16MP ultrawide camera, with optical image stabilization. But we haven't spent enough time with the Surface Duo 2 to know what its consistent performance is like.

There were a few instances in which there was a slight pause before the software adjusted to the phone's new position.

The software generally kept up with my movements as I switched orientations and shifted between tent mode, the laptop-like position shown below, and one-handed mode. The storage options range from 128GB to 512GB, and there's 8GB of RAM on the Duo 2.ĭuring my brief hands-on with the device, the Surface Duo 2's performance mostly felt snappy. The phone runs Android, similar to before, with Microsoft's own custom apps and some interface touches in the OS that are optimized for these specific displays and the Pen stylus. The step-up from the last Duo's Snapdragon 855 chip should help the phone seem more fluid than the original, which felt laggy.

The Duo 2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor this time, just like the Z Fold 3. Microsoft beefs up the Surface Duo's processor and storage
