Microsoft Surface Duo 2
The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is a much-awaited update to the single offering in the foldable tablet space from Microsoft. It has a unique form factor and folding mechanism, which features a dual-body design that is joined by a very small hinge. This means that instead of acting as a single body when folded, this device actually folds over itself, which makes it a lot more simmer than most foldable devices. But due to the size and the unique form factor, it is rated under the tablet category instead of just a large smartphone. You also get a reliable and fast processor, a triple camera array in the rear, and an average battery.

Bottom Line
Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is a nice update to the original Duo, with a better design and build, as well as a unique folding mechanism. The display is usable, and the processor is capable enough to power it, although the battery does lag behind the needs of this double-screen device.Pros
