In so many ways, the Surface Duo 2 feels like a finished product in ways that the Surface Duo never did. Then again, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has 12GB of RAM, which makes it even better at multitasking – but more on that later. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, for instance, will cost you $1,799 / £1,599 / AU$2,499, which is slightly more expensive than a similarly configured Surface Duo 2. So, the Surface Duo 2 is an expensive device, but especially now that it has a high-end chipset rather than the mid-range silicon in the original device, it’s more competitive with the phones around it. Still, it does have the added benefit of letting you magnetically attach the Surface Pen to the device, so it’s something you’re probably going to want to get if you plan on using Microsoft’s stylus. That’s not as big of a deal as the last time around, as the sides of the phone are a more rugged plastic this time. Unlike the original device, though, the Surface Duo 2 doesn’t come with the Bumper case that’ll protect it from falls. If you want the top-end 512GB option, you’re going to have to go with the Obsidian colorway – which is the better one anyway if you ask us – but you can get the 128GB version or the 256GB version in the Glacier White colorway as well. For that price you’ll get the standard configuration with the Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is available today, starting at $1,499 / £ 1,349 / AU$2,319. (Image credit: Future) Microsoft Surface Duo 2 price and availability
