I anticipate you will be as excited as I am.

This article is an attempt to convey what I heard. As they informed us of their new vision, I was completely overwhelmed. When Microsoft told the session attendees that there had been a change in focus and a change in direction, it was welcome news. Most of us thought it would be more of the same old thing. We had been hearing rumblings of Windows Mobile 7 for a while, but no details. For two years, I sat in the Summit sessions listening to the giants of the Windows Mobile programming world tell Microsoft they needed to up the ante in the mobile wars. On 6 December 2021, the Surface Duo 2 received its biggest update so far.At the MVP Global Summit in 2010, Microsoft stunned the attending MVPs by announcing Windows Phone 7 (WP7).

The Surface Duo 2 also ships with the following Microsoft applications:

Dual displays with 90Hz adaptive refresh rate.

You’ll also hear some justification for the dual-screen form factor, with Microsoft findings suggesting using two screens side-by-side reduces the mental workload compared to single-screen devices or foldables. The five-minute clip covers design, software, multitasking and more, making it worth watching if you’re a current or prospective Duo 2 owner. Refresh rates get a boost too – while not quite the flagship-level 120Hz, the Duo 2 moves up from 60Hz to an adaptive 90Hz. The single panel spans 5.8in (1344×1892) and reaches 8.3in (2688×1892) when fully open, adds a fifth of an inch more to the original size. The Duo 2 preserves the AMOLED display quality of the original Duo, but the panels are larger. Of course, mobile productivity gets a boost with 5G – whether that’s for calls or collaborating on Microsoft 365 or accessing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and using the Duo as an on-screen controller. With two displays, Microsoft promises the Duo will allow running two apps simultaneously, dragging and dropping between screens (in supported apps), creating App Groups for the apps you use most often, note taking and sketching and optmized display experiences with recreational apps such as TikTok, Kindle and Spotify.

The step up in performance specs isn’t a surprise given how much Microsoft touts the Duo 2’s productivity benefits.
