It is not the first time that such Surface Duo images have made it to the internet. Apparently, the device has been leaked before its launch and the images reveal a new camera system. You can make a pretty convincing argument that the device should offer more for the price, but it’s good to see the company sticking with an outside the box product like this, considering how many strange concept products ( cough Neo) never make it that far.Microsoft is planning to launch the new Surface Duo 2 by October 2021 with a new triple rear camera system. Microsoft has been reasonably candid about the device’s failings and looked to address them here. The Duo 2, meanwhile, is a refinement of an eagerly anticipated new product that really didn’t pan out the first time around. And hey, a major OS update doesn’t amount to much with some hardware working to push it forward. It’s a big machine with a relatively narrow focus, but Microsoft’s been doing this long enough to understand the specifics of scale with a product like this. The Laptop Studio finds the company exploring another fascinating corner of the two-in-one space. On the whole, it’s a good balance for the company.

The dual-screen device is nothing if not an interesting insight into what could be.The top-line additions here are the screens, which have been expanded from 5.6 to 5.8 inches for a combined 8.3 inches (up from 8.1).
