Software and updates Jeremy Kaplan/Digital Trends It still wins out over the Duo merely by virtue of actually having a camera system, but it’s not as good as it could be. Whether at daytime or nighttime, Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2 is not the phone you buy for mobile videography, especially if you plan to move while shooting. As with most smartphone cameras, it was pretty good during the day with some very good portrait mode, but it fell far behind rivals during the night - especially within its price range. It wasn’t the fastest at snapping photos, nor was the orientation particularly convenient. That being said, we still found some faults with the Duo 2’s camera. As we said at the outset, you needn’t compare the Duo to the Duo 2 in hand to know who wins because the Duo simply cannot do what the Duo 2 can do camera-wise. Video is also getting a big boost here with support for both 4K and slow motion. You can capture portrait photos, and Microsoft is adding a dedicated night mode.

There’s a 16-megapixel ultrawide, a 12MP wide-angle, and a 12MP telephoto lens. There’s a small camera bump at the front, housing a triple set of cameras, as is the norm in 2021. Microsoft shipped the original Surface Duo with a single front-facing camera that did not perform very well at all. Going from no camera to three cameras makes this a slam dunk. The Surface Duo 2 wins this based on its more powerful hardware. Considering it’s powering two screens, that’s a pretty solid performance. Our review of the Surface Duo 2 review has shown a similarly strong battery life, with performance being just below the iPhone 13 Pro, and ending a standard day with about 20% left in the tank. The original Duo offered a decent battery life, and we were able to keep it going for a day in our review. Enough to hold all your documents forever. The RAM is going up from 6GB to 8GB, and you’ll be able to stack your device with up to 512GB of storage. The Duo came with an outdated 855, an odd choice for its time.

Microsoft has decided a premium-priced device is worthy of premium specs, and the Surface Duo 2 is equipped with the current Snapdragon 888 processor that powers the best Android phones out this year. Performance, battery life, and charging Jeremy Kaplan/Digital Trends The Duo got a little bit heavier at 284 grams, and that camera bump might get in the way when using it on the go. When it comes to regressions and stagnation, there’s no IP rating on the Duo with this generation, like you’ll find on the Fold 3. New colors are one way that phone makers set aside newer products from older ones, and Microsoft isn’t one to buck tradition. On the other hand, a new Obsidian black finish is here, and nominative redundancy aside, it does look pretty good.

You can get the Duo 2 in silver - Glacier, as Microsoft calls it. The display has also been bumped to a 90Hz smooth display, and there’s a small gap when you close the Duo that gives you a strip for notifications. Microsoft makes very good displays, and the Duo 2 will not disappoint with its 100% sRGB coverage. The screen is still a PixelSense AMOLED display that’s 2688 x 1892 while open and 1344 x 1892 while closed. The display is now covered in Gorilla Glass Victus, making it more durable than the previous Gorilla Glass 5.

The screen is bigger, going from 8.1 inches to 8.3 inches while unfolded and 5.6 inches to 5.8 inches while folded. Now, while it does look similar, there are many small changes that make it a better overall device. There are a few changes to it that scream 2021 - hello camera bump - but you won’t confuse it for any other foldable. The Surface Duo 2 is a clear evolution of the Surface Duo design-wise.
