Its barely been over a week since we saw Samsung take the wraps of two new foldables in the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Korean giants have clearly not given up on the form factor and the technology and it so seems, neither has Microsoft.

As noted by a MSPoweruser report, Microsoft is about to release a successor to its dual-display phone from last year – the Surface Duo – very soon, likely in October. And now, some of the upcoming Surface Duo 2's specs have been revealed via a Geekbench listing (via SlashLeaks).

According to the Geekbench listing, the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and 8GB of RAM. Unsurprisingly, the Duo 2 will also come with Android 11 out the box.

As is to be expected, this is a step up from last year's Surface Duo, albeit not a huge one. The first Surface Duo came with the Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM, which was arguably not enough for a dual-screen phone that is aimed at multitasking power users, often running pairs of apps at the same time.

Microsoft might also need to put more effort into improving an aspect of the original Duo that many users had an issue with – the camera quality. In mid-July, leaked photos of Microsoft Surface Duo 2 revealed a triple-camera setup, inevitably leading to it having a camera bump, unlike the first Duo – a compromise many users will probably be willing to make.
