NOVEMBER 2019 PCWorld 27What kind of camera is that inside the top bezel?camera won’t cut it here, so we’re very interested
to see what the Surface Duo delivers.- WILL IT HAVE 5G?
2020 is shaping up to be the year of 5G, with a
new integrated Qualcomm modem, greater
expansion of networks, and maybe even a 5G
iPhone. So if the Surface Duo arrives without it, it
could be a damper on an otherwise good phone. - WHAT’S THE BATTERY
LIFE LIKE?
Here’s the million-dollar question. With two
screens to power, the Surface Duo is going to
need some serious juice to keep running all
day. We don’t know what kind of battery is
powering Microsoft’s new phone. Samsung’s
Galaxy Fold has set the battery benchmark
(go.pcworld.com/flbn) for folding phones at
better than 12 hours of actual use, so the Duo
has its work cut out for it. - WILL IT HAVE A
HEADPHONE JACK?
We haven’t gotten a full 360-degree look at
the Surface Duo yet, but from the pictures
we’ve seen, we’ve yet to spot a headphone
jack anywhere on the device. That’s not
surprising—the Surface Pro X doesn’t have
one, and the wireless Surface Earbuds just
landed—but we’d still like to know for sure. - WHAT’S THE QUALITY OF
THE CAMERA?
According to the pics we’ve seen as well as
Wired’s report, the Surface Duo doesn’t have a
rear camera. Rather, the selfie camera and the
main camera are one and the same. But we don’t
know anything about it. Will the final shipping
product stick with a single camera or upgrade to
a dual or triple array? Will it provide Windows
Hello facial recognition? Can you take slowfies
like on the iPhone? Obviously a tablet-quality
Are you hiding a headphone jack, Surface Duo?
