Using the Duo 2 'naked' for its first week with me, carrying it around day to day, the need for something grippy and protective along its edges became more and more apparent. So, on with the principal slim-line 'Bumper'. But if the pen is for you then note that you can experiment (as I've done) with any old Surface Pen, and then you know whether you'd use the Slim Pen with official cover. Plus having a whole extra pen (and pen cover) on the front of the super-slim Duo 2 kind of defeats the point and makes the device thicker and more awkward - plus you can't fully fold the phone back onto its (already) angled camera island. My handwriting is appalling, and when I do want to 'ring' something on-screen then a finger is faster and easier. It's probably just me - I find I'm happy with my fingers and rarely need absolute precision. The Surface Duo 2 is not only compatible with all the Surface Pens (I have one here, from my Surface Go, and it works perfectly), there's even a dedicated (but relatively bulky) Surface (Slim pen) Duo 2 Pen Cover that attaches and charges a pen. But just as with the original Samsung Galaxy Notes back in the day (I had several), I try the pen functions and think they're cool but then find myself hardly ever using them again. Happy New Year!īefore heading into the review as such, I should explain why I'm not reviewing the 'Bumper's chunkier cousin accessory. Starting with the crazily priced but ultimately, dare I say, essential, official Duo 2 Bumper.

With a Duo 2 now permanently at 'All About' Towers, and in addition to software features, I'm going to be reviewing some of the accessories available for this unique dual-screened smartphone/tablet.

Leaving aside the whole 'started on Windows' back story (hence 'Surface Phone', its longed-for name for so long), the Surface Duo arrived with Android on board and we now have the Android 11-running Surface Duo 2, which I reviewed here two months ago.
