I never really cared to do that with the original Duo since it was too wide to use as a makeshift phone, but it’s still disappointing that with this change, the Duo 2 will really mostly be used in Book mode. The bulky camera bump also prevents you from flipping one of the screens all the way over to have both displays lay evenly back to back. It’s a shame, though: There’s also no longer a way to take photos without having the Duo 2 opened up if you’re shooting with the rear cameras, you must use the device with both screens facing you. With the triple cameras sitting on the Duo 2’s back/outside and a 12-megapixel front-facing camera, there’s no longer a need to figure that out. This meant the device needed to know which screen to activate based on how you were holding it. You had to flip the phone so that the correct side was facing you when you wanted to take a selfie, and have the camera side face out for other shots.

That’s not surprising, since one of the biggest issues plaguing the Duo’s camera software was that it only had one camera that sat above the screen. I can’t judge the quality of these photos yet, since I could only view them on the Duo 2’s screens, but I already feel like the bugginess I experienced with the original Surface Duo is mostly gone. I easily switched from the main camera to the ultrawide and telephoto options, and also gave Portrait mode a go. Microsoft’s demo area wasn’t the best place to take memorable photos, but I did try out the Duo 2’s triple lenses on an Xbox controller. I had a chance to check out the Duo 2 briefly at a (COVID-safe) demo in New York, and I’m so far cautiously impressed by its updates. Specifically, it now has three sensors instead of the lone 11-megapixel camera used in the last-gen setup. The Surface Duo 2 is a $1,500 device that’s slightly thinner than its predecessor and brings some serious camera improvements.
