As we guessed in the leaks, the Surface Go 2 comes with a bigger 10.5-inch PixelSense display with 10-point multi-touch support and with a 3:2 aspect ratio. To keep the costs low and to keep the availability for a wider audience, Microsoft has made two variants, one powered by the Pentium Gold 4425Y processor and the other by the Intel Core m3-8100Y processor.
The base model with the Pentium CPU comes with a cheaper 64 GB of eMMC flash storage and 4 GB of RAM. Obviously, if you require more performance you can opt-in for the Intel Core m3-8100Y powered variant that can be configured with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of SSD storage.
The Core m3-8100Y model promises to give 64% faster performance than the original Surface Go, according to Microsoft. For the camera, we have an 8MP rear camera which is able to record 1080p FULL HD videos and a 5MP front camera as well. The Surface Go 2 also promises to offer you up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge.
The Surface Go 2 comes included with the Surface Pen and you can buy the other accessories separately like Type Covers, Sleeves with colour options like Platinum, Black, Poppy Red, and Ice Blue. Also, the existing Surface Go Type Covers are compatible with the new model as well.
