In our Microsoft Surface Duo review, we liked its thin and lightweight design and color rich display. We were also impressed by its innovative 360-degree hinge and double-app productivity.
When it comes to design, Microsoft engineers made the Surface Duo compact and portable. At a glance, it looks like a small book or a tiny white purse. It retains the same clean-cut, minimalist aesthetic that's synonymous with Microsoft's Surface devices.
In real-world multitasking tests, the Surface Duo juggled 20 Google Chrome tabs on the left screen and a Netflix video streaming on the right without slowing down. As for battery life, the phablet lasted 9 hours and 27 minutes on our Laptop Mag battery test.
Weighing in at 0.5 pounds and 5.7 x 7.4 x 0.18 inches open, the Surface Duo is more slender than the competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 (0.27 inches thin, 0.6 pounds).
