Looking at the specs above and throwing out the two displays, the Surface Duo appears to be a mid-range Android phone. The Surface Duo has a single camera that takes photos that match $300 to $400 phones and the user experience to capture a shot is cumbersome.

However, having to open it up to do anything at all is a bit of a pain for a phone that you use all day for various communication needs. One could have it folded with the two displays on the outside, but I don't like having both displays exposed.

Performance, battery life, and charging

Microsoft has decided a premium-priced device is worthy of premium specs, and the Surface Duo 2 is equipped with the current Snapdragon 888 processor that powers the best Android phones out this year. Whether at daytime or nighttime, Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2 is not the phone you buy for mobile videography, especially if you plan to move while shooting.

Surface Duo Vs Surface Duo For Business

Software

Z Fold 2 Flex Mode

Both the Z Fold 2 and the Surface Duo use custom versions of Android 10, and both have custom versions of the Google apps and Microsoft Office, which take advantage of their dual-screen nature. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a much higher-spec folding phone than Microsoft's Surface Duo, at a much higher price. While Samsung says multitasking is a strength of the Z Fold 2, my experience with the first Fold was that I generally used one app at a time, in big-screen mode.

The Surface Duo has had a significant price cut, however, so it's available for about half the price of the Surface Duo 2.
