Microsoft Surface Duo 2 Release Date And Specs Massively Leaked

Following its launch in 2020, Microsoft is reportedly working on Surface Duo 2 with improved features and 5G connectivity. The Redmond-based tech giant is expected to release it sometime in the Fall of 2021.

The latest information about Microsoft Surface Duo 2 comes from Windows Latest. The site claims that the company has been working on the next iteration of the dual-screen mobile device since the second half of 2020. Aside from the Fall release window, the site also notes that the upcoming device would feature a faster processor, improved camera and 5G connectivity.

The first-generation Surface Duo received average reviews from consumers, the majority of which say positive feedback on the mobile device's design, hinge and display. Sadly, they found a lot of issues when it comes to software. As such, beyond the Surface Duo 2's hardware, Microsoft is apparently focused on improving the mobile device's software, including enhancing its camera app.

Aside from those, the tech giant is reportedly pooling in more engineers to work for the upcoming dual-screen device. Several company job listings advertise that it is looking for people to help them “deliver a mobile user experience” that provides the best of the company to the Android ecosystem. Microsoft introduced the Surface Duo in September 2020.

This year, it reduced the price of its premium dual-screen mobile device in several markets. Whether the Redmond-based tech giant decides to maintain the price for the Surface Duo 2 or if it is going to jack it up remains to be seen. Microsoft has a lot of products anticipated to launch this year.

Also in the pipeline are the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, which is rumored to be available in AMD and Intel CPU variants. As for the release date, the upcoming products are anticipated to launch in October or November 2021. It is worth noting that while these details about the Surface Duo 2 are interesting, these are not official.

Like rumors, fans should temper their expectations about the Microsoft Surface Duo 2. And, until they hear the official announcement from Microsoft, these details must be taken with a hefty amount of salt.
