Microsoft Surface Duo 2

“No other handheld device multitasks like the dual-screen Microsoft Surface Duo 2, but it lives in a category of its own. It's not quite phone, not quite tablet.”

“Microsoft's Surface Duo 2 is a different interpretation of foldable smartphones than, for example, Samsung's Fold series. The Duo 2 has an elegant and yet robust appearance. Using two apps simultaneously is much easier with this dual-screen phone than with a Galaxy Z Fold3. If you do not have a use for this functionality, however, the Duo 2 is most likely not the smartphone for you, since there are still noticeable compromises to be made with the second generation compared to its foldable competition.”

“Microsoft has almost perfected the hardware of the Surface Duo 2, but this makes its lack of software optimisation all the more frustrating. Even if you're set on a foldable, there are much better options out there.”

“Several software updates and a price drop make the Duo 2 a far more compelling device now than at launch. But Microsoft still has work to do to convince people that this foldable form factor has a long-term future.”
