Foldable phones have been on the market for almost five years now, but they\u2019re still considered to be expensive eccentricities and luxuries that only a few can really afford. Even if they were more affordable, most people would probably still not be able to justify such a purchase, especially considering some concerns regarding durability. The Microsoft Surface Duo and its successor tried to offer a less risky yet still expensive interpretation of the foldable design, offering two distinct screens rather than folding a single one. At first, it seemed that it would actually be a new mobile device category to stand beside typical foldables, but the rumor now is that Microsoft seems to have thrown in the towel. Although it did have its fair share of fans, the Surface Duo 2 just didn\u2019t seem to click with the masses, even less than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, and these are five reasons why.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/surface\/devices\/surface-duo\">Microsoft<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-9.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-9.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"4f9bc32048efd56b78ba4b43-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"4f9bc32048efd56b78ba4b43-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identity_Crisis\"><\/span>Identity Crisis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To some extent, the Microsoft Surface Duo is in a class of its own.

You can\u2019t even fold the Surface Duo 2 back completely now that it has a camera bump. You can easily call it a tablet, either, even though content can span both screens to form one single display that has a very noticeable cut in the middle.

LG tried to take a stab at a dual-screen phone with a case that you can attach and remove as needed. The experience, of course, was very different, more similar to how you\u2019d connect a second monitor to a computer. The Surface Duo had that capability built-in, saving users from having to juggle accessories.

It\u2019s too wide to use as a phone when folded, and it\u2019s unusable as a \u201cfull\u201d tablet when spread out. Admittedly, it\u2019s unfair to judge the Surface Duo by these standards because it\u2019s neither a phone nor a tablet but a completely different device. Unfortunately, people will approach it from either direction because they\u2019re more familiar with smartphones and tablets and might not be able to adequately wrap their heads around a new creature such as this, especially when they might not even understand what it is for. Unfortunately, Microsoft\u2019s target audience makes it clear that it\u2019s not for everyone in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Niche_Business\"><\/span>Niche Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Surface Duo 2 can do almost anything a smartphone or tablet can do, especially if you use only a single screen.

This is admittedly very limiting, especially if you\u2019re used to the multi-window world of desktops and laptops. There might be some who wish they could do things at the same time or see two apps simultaneously, and it\u2019s exactly for that use case that the Surface Duo was designed. To be more specific, the dual-screen device is made for highly productive people who find themselves always switching between two or three apps.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1397\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-8.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1397\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The subset of mobile users that regularly do this, however, might be very small.

Now iOS, particularly iPadOS, has left Android in its dust, and devices like the Surface Duo or even the Galaxy Z Fold are having trouble shoehorning a different paradigm into the platform.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The first release of the modified Android system for the Surface Duo was pretty much disastrous, with plenty of instabilities and bugs marring the otherwise beautiful first-gen device. To its credit, Microsoft has been addressing those issues slowly but surely, yet the fact remains that Android apps always behave as if they\u2019re the only show on stage. It doesn\u2019t help that that stage doesn\u2019t seem to push those actors to play well with others, even when all the facilities are there. It will take a Google foldable device for Android to really adopt all these features it already has, but that\u2019s a story for another day.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-14.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-14.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-14.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-14.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>To be fair, even Samsung\u2019s foldables have this kind of problem, only that the phone maker giant has been working on its solution for years. Those flaws are more pronounced on a younger device like the Surface Duo. Despite being primarily a software company, Microsoft still has trouble adapting Android to its needs. And, unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t exactly have a track record in that aspect, either.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software_is_Hard\"><\/span>Software is Hard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just because Microsoft is adept at making software doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s an expert at everything. Some might even refute how good it is at software development in the first place due to innumerable issues with Windows and Office. That\u2019s even truer with platforms that aren\u2019t its own, particularly Android, which it has been using ever since it ditched the idea of any form of Windows on mobile. It hasn\u2019t had much success then, and it doesn\u2019t seem to be having better luck now.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, Microsoft has shown better performance with the Surface Duo 2, at least as far as pushing fixes is concerned. Unfortunately, even those fixes leave some things to be desired, and the software still shows some of the problems exhibited in the first Surface Duo. Given the fast pace of Android updates, Microsoft is clearly lagging behind on that front as well. Confidence in Microsoft\u2019s ability to fix those software issues isn\u2019t exactly that high, and the latest rumors only serve to validate those doubts.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"987\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-15.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"987\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-15.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-13.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-13.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft switching to a single foldable screen for the Surface Duo 3 doesn\u2019t make all those problems go away. It could, however, alleviate or even fix some of the problems, particularly when it comes to having to support two screens, something that Android at its core still doesn\u2019t do well in the first place. Unfortunately, it does pretty much throw away all the rhetoric around the first Surface Duo devices, validating once again that Samsung\u2019s design might have been right all along.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Answer_in_Search_of_a_Problem\"><\/span>An Answer in Search of a Problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The biggest problem with the Surface Duo design is that there was probably no problem, to begin with. While some will say that this applies to foldable devices as well, it\u2019s even more poignant with a dual-screen mobile device. The Surface Duo 2 is slick, beautiful, and innovative. Unfortunately, it is also incomprehensible for the majority of consumers, even those that can actually afford one. Microsoft tried to offer a device that seemed less fragile than a Galaxy Z Fold but unfortunately slapped a price that is just as inaccessible anyway.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-7.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-7.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-16.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-16.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft did have a clear audience in mind, but it might have overestimated its own clout in that industry. It might have envisioned a large army of mobile users who depend exclusively on Microsoft apps and services, but that ship has long sailed. Without support for other \u201cnormal\u201d apps, the overall experience was clunky, awkward, and sometimes even unusable. The Surface Duo 2 definitely has fans that are now disillusioned at the path that Microsoft is rumored to take, but those fans won\u2019t be able to help turn the device into a profit.<\/p>\n<p>While the Surface Duo 2 is admittedly an interesting innovation, at the end of the day, it\u2019s still a product that has to bring Microsoft money. By turning away from the dual-screen design, the company is effectively admitting that it failed to accomplish that. The \u201cinnie\u201d foldable screen first used by Samsung is by no means perfect, but it\u2019s also more usable for both regular and power users. It remains to be seen how much of the Surface Duo user experience will remain in such a different device and whether or not it will even be worth investing in a Microsoft mobile device that could suffer the same fate as other Microsoft mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-417379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-12.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-417379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/17\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"5 Reasons the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Design Failed\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/5-reasons-the-microsoft-surface-duo-2-design-failed\/surface-duo-2-12.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>JC Torres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
