Microsoft has just revealed its new Surface Duo 2. Unlike last year’s phone, this new model includes flagship-level specs, like a Snapdragon 888 and a triple-camera setup. Details are still being revealed (the event is ongoing), but here’s what we know so far.
On top of that Snapdragon 888, Microsoft has revealed several other key specs for things like the camera, including a 12MP f1.7 primary with OIS, 16MP f2.2 ultrawide, and a 12MP F2.4 OIS telephoto, paired with a time of flight sensor. The new screen has curved edges which are just barely visible when the phone is closed along the hinge — something that Microsoft calls the “Glance Bar.”
The “glance bar.”
The Duo 2 supports 5G connectivity as well — Microsoft called it the thinnest 5G device you can get.
The two-part display is 8.3″ from corner to corner when combined, and 90Hz. Microsoft claims it has a redesigned hinge, and the phone also works with a “pen” that can attach magnetically to the back.
As with last year, there’s a fingerprint sensor on the power button, and Microsoft touts using the “toughest glass from Corning.”
