Microsoft has attempted to address many of those issues with the Surface Duo 2.<\/p>\n<p>The two displays have been slightly enlarged from 5.6-inches to 5.8-inches.

The rear cameras are 12MP main, 12MP telephoto, and 16MP wide-angle.<\/p>\n<p>The other area where the original Duo suffered was performance. It limped out of the gate with outdated specs, but the Duo 2 is in line with other high-end Android devices. That includes 5G support, the\u00a0Snapdragon 888 processor, and 8GB of RAM.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surface_Duo_2_Specifications\"><\/span>Surface Duo 2 Specifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-756498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Surface-Duo-2-Modes.jpeg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Surface Duo 2 modes\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here are the Surface Duo 2\u2019s specifications, courtesy of Microsoft:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Operating System<\/strong>: Android 11<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display<\/strong>:\u00a0Dual 5.8-inch, AMOLED, 1344\u00d71892, (8.3-inch opened)<\/li>\n<li><strong>SoC<\/strong>:\u00a0Qualcomm Snapdragon 888<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory<\/strong>:\u00a08GB RAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>:\u00a0128GB, 256GB, 512GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rear Cameras, Main<\/strong>:\u00a012MP, f\/1.7 aperture, 27mm, 1.4\u00b5m, dual pixel PDAF, and OIS<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rear Cameras, Telephoto<\/strong>:\u00a012MP, f\/2.4 aperture, 51mm, 1.0\u00b5m, PDAF, OIS, and 2X optical zoom in<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rear Cameras, Ultra-Wide<\/strong>:\u00a016MP, f\/2.2 aperture, 13mm, 1.0\u00b5m, 110o diagonal field of view with distortion correction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front Camera<\/strong>:\u00a012MP, f\/2.0 aperture, 24mm, 1.0\u00b5m<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security<\/strong>:\u00a0Fingerprint Sensor<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectivity<\/strong>:\u00a05G, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, Wi-Fi 6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ports<\/strong>:\u00a0USB-C 3.2 Gen 2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio<\/strong>:\u00a0Stereo Speaker<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery<\/strong>:\u00a04,449mAh<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions (open)<\/strong>: 145.2 mm (H) x 184.5 mm (W) x 5.5 mm (T)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions (closed)<\/strong>:\u00a0145.2 mm (H) x 92.1 mm (W) x 11.0 mm (T at hinge)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>:\u00a0284g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Colors<\/strong>:\u00a0Glacier White, Obsidian Black<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surface_Duo_2_Release_Date_and_Price\"><\/span>Surface Duo 2 Release Date and Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-756498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Surface-Duo-2-Modes.jpeg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Surface Duo 2 modes\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=htg\/756519&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fd%2Fsurface-duo-2%2F9408kgxp4xjl\">available for pre-order starting today<\/a> for $1,499.99.
