Microsoft takes another swing at folding phones with Surface Duo 2, brings big upgrades across the board

Microsoft launched the Surface Duo 2, its second swing at folding phones, on Wednesday night at its fall hardware event. The Duo 2 features the same ‘makeshift’ foldable design as the original Duo, which is to say it’s two slabs of glass joined together by a hinge in stark contradiction to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 where the screen ‘actually’ folds in the middle. Microsoft is basically using this generation to fix some of the glaring hardware choices it made with the last model. The Duo 2 comes with bigger screens, more powerful hardware, 5G support, and more capable cameras.
