Microsoft’s ambitious take on a foldable phone – Surface Duo got a mixed response. There were many interested in the slim form factors, its build quality, the impressive hinge mechanism, but the massive bezels, poor camera, and a flawed software experience, etc., were some of the downsides that made the device did not meet expectations.
Now reports suggest that the second iteration of the Surface Duo is expected to come with improvements in all aspects. While some leaks suggest that the Surface Duo 2 is expected to be 5G-ready, a new report suggests that the phone could launch earlier than expected.
According to WindowsLatest, although the original Surface Duo is less than a year old, if all goes according to plan, the Surface Duo 2 could launch in the fall of this year.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2 – What to Expect?
Unlike the Samsung Fold series or Huawei’s Mate X line, the Surface Duo 2 is expected to follow the same split-screen design. Microsoft’s version of this dual-screen technology helps you present your device as a productivity device.
The company has been actively working on the Surface Duo 2 and is codenamed “Zeta.” Microsoft has reportedly been on a recruiting spree to make sure it unveils a complete device this time. Several recent job postings mention that Microsoft wants to “deliver a mobile user experience.”
Microsoft is reportedly now actively contributing to Android development. These enhancements will help Microsoft deliver a seamless experience on the next dual-screen device.
Most importantly, previous reports hint that the new Surface Duo 2 will have a powerful processor, 5G connectivity, and improved image processing for a better camera experience.
