At today’s Microsoft event Microsoft have announced the Surface Duo 2, its 2nd gen Android phone. The Surface Duo 2 address many of the issues with the original Surface Duo while maintaining its dual screen devices.

Having used my Duo for the last year the Duo 2 is going to fix the issues I had with the device.

The main improvements are:

  • Rear facing camera (triple lens)
  • NFC for contactless payments
  • Larger curved screen 8.3 x 90hz
  • Improved CPU (Snapdragon 888 5g)
  • Android 11
  • Available in Black and White
  • Surface Duo 2 pen cover
  • Glance bar on the size so you can see your notifications while closed
  • Wifi 6

The poor camera and lack of NFC are the biggest problems for me with the Surface Duo so improvements will make it the complete device for me.

UPDATE:

Release date 20 October 2021, starting at £1,349.00
