The Duo 2 features a camera setup that should solve all these problems. Sometimes the software was buggy, to the ponit where the camera or screen wouldn’t activate. It was a single 11-megapixel front-facing camera, so unless you were taking a selfie, you had to turn the screen around to take a photo. The camera was a major source of complaints for reviewers of the Surface Duo.

The pixel density is good at 401 pixels per inch, it supports HDR and hits 800 nits at max brightness. Unfolded, they open to an 8.3-inch panel that measures 2688×1892, but of course, there will be a bezel in between. The notifications are color-coded, so you’ll be able to see what’s waiting for you and how many notifications there are.īoth screens stick to a 5.8-inch AMOLED display with a resolution that works out to 1344 x 1892. Microsoft calls this the “Glance Bar” and it indicates battery life and delivers notifications while the phone is closed. The most exciting design change is actually the gap between the hinge which is an intentional design choice that allows you to see the screen.

In terms of footprint, it’s closer in size to the Z Fold 3, but again, it’s not bendable.

Rather than a bendable display like the Z Flip 3, the Duo 2 has two separate screens that meet at the hinge. The Duo 2 looks similar to its predecessor, and it offers an additional color option.
