Microsoft Launches Surface Duo 2 – 2nd gen folding productivity machine

Microsoft has taken the wraps off the second generation folding, portable dual-screen smartphone: the Microsoft Surface Duo 2. And this one has some flagship specs. 

The device features the Snapdragon 888 processor, 5G support and the iconic dual-screened design that made the first model so intriguing. Plus, it’s a phone. 

Microsoft is calling this the thinnest 5G device, and it’s covered in naon-coated 3D glass built by Corning, which it claims is really durable. And it’s available in both Glacier and Obsydian colours. 

When open, the two screens form an 8.3-inch surface and boast 90Hz refresh rates to make animations super smooth. In addition, there’s something of a unique feature called the ‘Glance Bar’, which is a curved screen that shous little snippets of important information. 

There are three cameras on the back: a 12-megapixel f/1.7 primary camera with OIS, a 16-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide and a 12-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto with OIS. 

This is a developing story. We’ll update as more information is announced…
