The rumored Surface Duo 2 is now featured on CPU benchmarking site Geekbench, with some significant hardware upgrades. The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, according to the listing. According to the source, at least one Surface Duo 2 model will feature 8GB of RAM and will operate on Android 11.
