When the Microsoft Surface Duo launched, I absolutely adored the form factor and split app<\/a> view. But I hated how slow it ran and how easily it broke and ultimately returned it. Now it looks like the Surface Duo 2 is on the way, and it might fix some of its biggest issues.<\/p>\n

The original Surface Duo 2 turned out to be a better idea on paper than in practice. That\u2019s partly due to the aging hardware out the gate\u2014it used an older processor, a small amount of RAM, and frankly some terrible cameras. Even still, when it runs well (which isn\u2019t always), it makes multitasking a breeze. Unfortunately, it breaks easily\u2014just plugging it in will do the trick. And it\u2019s just as often slow and prone to lockups. Alas, it still runs Android 10 as well.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known a successor is in the works for a while, and it looks like addressing the cameras is one major focus. Now it looks like the internals will get a much-needed bump too. According to a Geekbench benchmark listing<\/a>, the Surface Duo 2 will step up a Snapdragon 888 processor and 8 GBs of RAM. That\u2019s a nice bump over the original Snapdragon 855 and 6GB RAM.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know if Microsoft will offer additional RAM options, as other smartphone manufacturers sometimes do, but we can see that the Surface Duo 2 will run Android 11 out of the box. That\u2019s a nice confirmation considering that Microsoft never followed through with its promise to update the original Surface Duo to Android 11.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait to see if the device picks enough body to prevent USB-C port snapping issues seen in the original, along with price, launch date, and everything else. But we\u2019ll be on the lookout for when Microsoft announces all the details.<\/p>\n
