Surface Slim Pen 2 is not included with the cover either, so that users can buy it for extra protection. Microsoft could also release other colors later to help give a more custom feel to Surface Duo 2.

That may seem like a flagrant omission, but it's not clear you could have both sides covered and still be able to reverse-fold the phone into one-handed mode.

And no, you cannot wirelessly charge Surface Duo 2 with the Pen Cover, which would be weird since it is on the front. Whether you get value from the Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover depends on how much you use that Slim Pen. Microsoft is slowly but surely building out the usefulness of owning a pen into Surface Duo 2, which is good news. Microsoft just added inking to Outlook and now lets you "mark up" photos directly using the pen.

Ultra-Wide: 16MP, f/2.2 aperture, 13 mm, 1.0µm, 110 o diagonal field of view with distortion correction I'm pleased to say that the camera is decent. However, it certainly won't be winning any awards. In daytime, it's pretty easy to get right, although it does weirdly try super hard to focus on the middle of the viewfinder. That's something that other OEMs worked out a while ago, that if your subject is not in the middle, it should still be focused on.

That's a minor issue though, because the major issue is nighttime performance, and I'm not talking about the quality of photos. When you open up the Camera app at night, the frame rate in the viewfinder drops to a point where it actually gets hard to use. It's even harder to focus on the subject that you're trying to focus on. This is an area that I judge based on how many images I have to delete after testing. It was a lot for this phone. That all makes the Pen Cover a bit of a kludge until Microsoft can figure out to build in wireless charging for the Slim Pen and wireless charging for the Surface Duo (in the rear) into one device without accessories. That's something we'll likely see in the next version, but it's a DIY add-on for now.Audio formats supported: 3GP, MP3, MP4, MKV, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, TS, AMR, FLAC, MID, MIDI, RTTL, RTX, OTA, IMY

Interestingly, it seems the pen won't charge if Surface Duo 2's battery is below 50%, which is an excellent way to prioritize the phone's longevity. Stereo speaker, Dual Mic AI-based noise suppression and acoustic echo cancellation optimized for productive use in all postures
