Available in glacier or a new obsidian, Surface Duo 2 starts at $1499.99 and is available for pre-order in select markets.

"Surface Duo 2 brings new and improved design to the Surface Duo line. Still emphasizing the ability to multitask, Surface Duo 2 features larger screens, increased durability, a dynamic triple-lens camera, lightning-fast 5G, and a spine that displays notifications when the device is closed," the company said in a statement.

The OLED display, each, measures 5.8-inches in size, screen resolution of 1344 x 1892 pixels, is connected by a hinge and is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass.

The new device features a triple-lens camera setup at the back with a 16MP ultra-wide lens, a 12MP wide angle lens and a 12MP telephoto lens.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm SnapDragon 888 system on chip, with 5G support for eSIM and NanoSIM, 8 GB of RAM, and storage up to 512 GB.

It runs Google's Android 11 along with the company's own custom skin on top.

The firm has also announced Surface Go 3 with 10.5-inch display, Dolby Audio and a webcam.

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 tablet succeeds the Microsoft Surface Go 2 tablet that was launched back in May 2020.
