When viewing emails in Outlook or text on a Google Doc, we were presented with clear inky blacks that never look pixelated. The Surface Duo 2 features two distinct 5.8-inch PixelSense displays, which are based on AMOLED panels. And if you’re all right with a standard smartphone, the Galaxy S21 or Pixel 6 offer similar fast performance in a design that will let you split-screen two apps.Ī refined design with a smooth-as-butter hinge Those who want a foldable that better handles entertainment and games should look at the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The Duo 2 is best for someone who wants a device that excels in work and multitasking.
And it really shines with Microsoft’s apps and doing two things at once with one device - these are called app Groups on devices. How this compares: The Surface Duo 2 really focuses on being a workhorse and destined for productivity tasks. The Duo 2 also meets the mark with a zippy processor, sharp screens and long battery life, though the cameras are not stupendous. In our testing, many of the bugs and slowdowns have been ironed out in the second generation. What you need to know: Unlike other foldables, the Duo 2 has two separate screens and the ability to group apps side by side, allowing you to easily work between two programs at once. You’re going to need to reach for this handset's charger more often than with most other flagships.Who this is for: The Surface Duo 2 is for someone who wants the ultimate device for productivity and work, with the unique ability to focus on two apps in a variety of modes - and for someone who’s willing to drop a hefty sum for all that versatility. A far greater concern is battery life, which will see you through a day of casual use but can diminish greatly if you're more inclined to push this phone hard with some gaming, videos and multitasking. Powering this whole experience is the Duo 2’s beefy Snapdragon 888 processor and 8GB of RAM combo, which generally offers a smooth experience that's occasionally interrupted by an odd stutter or moment of janky touchscreen detection. It's not a routine you want to roll through when getting your next round in.
Want to take advantage of NFC contactless payment? Then you’ll have to whip out the Duo 2, unfold it, and hold it against the reader. Truthfully, many other everyday tasks are also made more painful by the book-like form factor. If you want to take any photos you’ll be forced to fully open the phone.
It’s awkward to hold though, and this setup blocks the rear camera too. You can of course also fold the Duo 2 back on itself, letting you use it as a traditional smartphone. Thankfully, apps like Kindle and Google Play Books have been specifically tweaked, so if you’re an avid smartphone ebook reader like me, you’ll find a delightful reading companion in the Duo 2. Try dragging Chrome into the middle of both screens to maximise it, and any words in the middle of a page will be lost in the gap between screens. The catch? Not all apps play nicely working across both screens at once though. Dive into the world of old school console emulators, and you’ve got a powerful mobile gaming device on your hands.

Turn the Duo 2 sideways, and it essentially becomes a powerful portable console - especially if you stream optimised games like Hades via Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service. Some games too, like Asphalt 9: Legends have been tweaked to show controls on the one screen with the game on the other.

If you drag the Outlook app into the middle of both screens for example, then you’ll see your inbox on the left screen, with individual emails opened in full on the right. If you often find yourself with Chrome on one screen and Word on another, you can merge the two apps together on the homescreen to create a shortcut that’ll automatically open them both in future.Ĭertain apps take things one step further by supporting functionality across both screens. Opening apps and dragging them from one screen to another is incredibly intuitive and easy, and you can even save your favourite combos so that they can be opened again at the touch of a button.

Unlike other handsets that throw in dual apps software support as an afterthought, this device has been designed from the ground up with the exact purpose in mind.
