There\u2019s no fingerprint reader, which points to it being relocated to the power button, or perhaps Microsoft will use an under-display <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Windows Central, Microsoft plans to release the Duo 2 in September or October, and it\u2019ll pack flagship specs beyond the camera. That means a Snapdragon 888, 5G, and NFC (seriously, the original omitted that), putting it on par with other 2021 flagships.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, the original launched with mid-tier specs which would lead it to quick obsoletion \u2014 and it showed with the device\u2019s performance (although Microsoft did smooth things out with some updates). The improved specs are especially welcome given that, you know, the phone\u2019s whole premise is being able to run multiple apps at once.<\/p>\n<p>My one big question now is\u2026 how is the phone going to fold?

It\u2019s likely a necessity, as there\u2019s only so much you can shrink a camera and still expect good photos, and Microsoft seems bent on maintaining the phone\u2019s thin form factor.
