![]() Unlike, say, Samsung’s Galaxy Fold devices, there’s a distinct gap between the two displays - these are two separate screens, which can fold closed like a book or else fold back along itself. The Surface Duo 2’s book-like pair of screens is the phone’s selling point, and it’s the obvious place to begin. Optional accessories: Surface Duo 2 Bumper ($39.99) Surface Duo 23W USB-C Charger ($39.99) Surface Slim Pen 2 ($129.99) Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover.Network: WiFi 6 (802.ax), Bluetooth 5.1.Camera, rear-facing: Wide: 12MPixel, f/1.7 aperture, 27 mm, 1.4µm, dual pixel phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS) Telephoto: 12MP, f/2.4 aperture, 51 mm, 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, 2X optical zoom/10X digital zoom Ultra-Wide: 16MP, f/2.2 aperture, 13 mm, 1.0µm, 110 o diagonal field of view with distortion correction.Display: 5.8-inch AMOLED (1344×1892, 401 PPI, HDR, 90Hz, 800 nits max) (single screen) 8.3-inch AMOLED equivalent (2688×1892) (dual-screen equivalent) Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.The Surface Duo 2 is a dual-SIM phone, but with one eSIM and one physical SIM slot. A USB-C cable is thankfully included, though, and for free. No, Microsoft does not ship a charger alongside the Surface Duo 2 (thanks, Apple) and you’ll pay extra for the plug. The real thumb in your eye is the $40 Surface Duo 2 charger. If you’d like to ink on the Surface Duo 2, you can buy the Surface Slim Pen 2 ($129.99) and the Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover (price not disclosed yet) which will grip and charge the Slim Pen 2. It appears that most third-party cases are going the same route, with the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Riveter case ($89.95) from Otterbox adopting the same approach. Microsoft also sells a Surface Do 2 bumper ($39.99), which we didn’t test, which surrounds the Duo 2’s edge and provides some basic protection. If you buy into the Microsoft ecosystem, you’ll be saving most storage-chewing photos and videos to the OneDrive cloud anyway, which means that anything above the base model is superfluous. Two other versions are available: a 256GB SSD model ($1,599.99) and the top-of-the-line Surface Duo 2 with 512GB of storage, for $1,799.99. The Surface Duo 2 costs an astounding $1,499.99, minimum, for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
