One stark difference I should point out is the new Glance Bar Microsoft added to the Surface Duo 2. On the side of the right display, you’ll find a volume rocker and a power button.
The dual screens are also slightly larger on the Surface Duo 2: the predecessor has 5.6-inch displays while the successor has 5.8-inch panels. They also help route ultra-slim wires (I’m talkin’ hairlike thinness!) that carry power, data and control signals between both sides. If you tore down the second-gen Surface Duo, you’d find that these two hinges do more than just conjoin two screens and facilitate mode transformations.
You’ll still find Microsoft’s lustrous logo glimmering under the light on the Duo 2’s front cover, and the foldable continues to open up - like a book - to reveal two displays attached with two sturdy hinges. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 (Image credit: Future)
