Microsoft Surface Duo Highlights

The Microsoft Surface Duo features two 5.6-inch OLED (1,350×1,800 pixels) displays with 4:3 aspect ratio that join together to provide an 8.1-inch PixelSense Fusion display with 2,700 x 1,800 pixels resolution and 3:2 aspect ratio. The device also has an 11-megapixel camera sensor with an f/2.0 lens at the front. This means that the camera can be used for capturing selfies as well as video calls. However, if you’re looking for a multi-cam setup with bokeh effects or optical zoom, you may not be pleased with the given hardware.

Under the hood, the Surface Duo has octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. There are also two batteries, with an overall capacity of 3,577mAh.

The Surface Duo won’t come with 5G support. Instead, it will have 4G LTE. You can also expect other usual connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB Type-C port. Furthermore, a dedicated stylus pen has been developed by Microsoft that can be used for drawing and keeping handwritten notes on the device.
