These apps, which include Facebook, WhatsApp, Seamless, Google Drive, Instagram, Adobe Lightroom, Slack, Netflix and YouTube, just look strange when spanned across both displays because of the hinge that joins both screens together. The problem is that the vast majority of apps I use on a daily basis aren't optimized for the Surface Duo 2's screens. Unfortunately, it seems that Microsoft was only able to address half the criticism that were levied at the Surface Duo with a year of development under its belt. Most reviewers noted the software glitches, hardware oddities and overall disjointed nature of Android on dual screens while also acknowledging that software updates and an eventual update to the hardware could rectify these early issues. When Microsoft released its first Surface Duo handset it did so with the Duo 2 shadowing it, with rumors almost instantly spinning up about fixes and improvements coming to blunt some of the criticism reviewers had for the phone shortly after it released. If you unfold the Duo 2 so that the screens are more than 180 degrees away from each other, Microsoft disables the triple-sensor module and you’re stuck with the selfie option. But instead of letting users decide which cameras they want to use at any time, Microsoft limits when you can use the rear cameras.

I thought that with a dedicated rear and front camera setup, the system would no longer have to guess what screen you wanted to use as a viewfinder. The biggest problem is that the Duo 2’s camera app still sucks.

This is still very much a work in progress, one that I can’t recommend anyone buying until Microsoft figures it out. It's been a little less than 24 hours since the Surface Duo 2 hit the market, but a handful of privileged reviewers are mostly in agreement that the sequel handset is a familiar experience, and not in a good way.īut once you get past all of those spec-sheet corrections, the Duo 2 still suffers from many of the same issues that plagued the first model.
