Microsoft surface duo 2 specs4/13/2023 ![]() The Surface Duo 2 is packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and 8GB of RAM. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the most brilliant at 740 nits. Still, this is much better than the average smartphone (595 nits) and the original Duo (458 nits). Microsoft claims that the Surface Duo 2 offers 800 nits of brightness, but according to our testing, it climbed to only 672 nits. The Surface Duo 2 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 have similar Delta-E scores at 0.25 and 0.24, respectively. The original Surface Duo’s color accuracy is the best with a Delta-E score of 0.16 (closer to 0 is better). It covers only 77% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, saving the Duo 2 from falling into third and last place. Fortunately for the Duo 2, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 exists. The screens covered 88% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which falls short of the category average (93%), while its predecessor covered a whopping 141%. The Duo 2’s dual displays actually fared worse than the original Duo’s, according to our colorimeter. It’s also worth noting that the play and pause buttons are annoyingly positioned where the divider is, but fortunately, I could use them despite the interruptive gap. However, its haptic feedback is still satisfying, letting you know all the digital keys you’ve pressed have been registered. My fingers often needed to stretch beyond the point of comfort to hit characters in the middle of the keyboard. Like its predecessor, texting on this device isn’t the most comfortable, especially if you have small hands like I do. I also experimented with compose mode, which is best for texting and typing on the Duo 2. I tested tablet mode on, and the Duo 2 captured more reading territory as I read an exhaustive review of the iPhone 13 Pro Max (I didn’t need to scroll too often). It’s worth noting that the divider does get in the way, but it’s like the iPhone 13 notch - it's a nuisance, but you may get used to it. Just drag-and-drop the app to the divider. You can take advantage of this feature by “spanning” apps across both screens. This is ideal for reading long-form news articles. Tablet mode maximizes your screen real estate. The app combos are endless the double-app experience has always been the Duo’s best selling point. You can look up lyrics on the right screen while launching Spotify on the left. You can launch a YouTube video on the left panel while scrolling through a Microsoft Word document on the right. After pressing the power button, the Glance Bar shows you the time as well as how many texts and calls you’ve received.Īnother new addition worth noting is the triple-lens rear camera module placed on the upper-left corner of the back cover (more on the cameras later).īook mode is also useful for jugging several apps at once. A stationary blue line shows up for texts. As such, the new spine keeps you “in the know” with color indicators, icons and more. And let me tell you - the Surface Duo needed this because there was no quick-and-efficient way to check notifications. One stark difference I should point out is the new Glance Bar Microsoft added to the Surface Duo 2. On the side of the right display, you’ll find a volume rocker and a power button. ![]() The dual screens are also slightly larger on the Surface Duo 2: the predecessor has 5.6-inch displays while the successor has 5.8-inch panels. They also help route ultra-slim wires (I’m talkin’ hairlike thinness!) that carry power, data and control signals between both sides. If you tore down the second-gen Surface Duo, you’d find that these two hinges do more than just conjoin two screens and facilitate mode transformations. You’ll still find Microsoft’s lustrous logo glimmering under the light on the Duo 2’s front cover, and the foldable continues to open up - like a book - to reveal two displays attached with two sturdy hinges. Fast charging is supported by the Surface Duo 2.Microsoft Surface Duo 2 (Image credit: Future) ![]() Google’s Android 11 OS runs on the Microsoft Surface Duo 2, and its battery is 4449mAh.
