The Duo came with an outdated 855, an odd choice for its time.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.

One screen is your palette, while the other becomes a giant panel for adjusting brightness, exposure, and contrast. When you snap photos with the Surface Duo 2, you can use one screen as a viewfinder and the other as a display for your just-shot photo. Its front-facing camera is slightly improved, too.
