We're big fans of the charger, by the way. Underneath the kickstand there’s a MicroSDXC card slot. There are just three ports down the right-hand side: a USB-C port, a headphone jack and a Surface connector to connect the supplied charger. In terms of connectivity, the Surface Go 2 is limited.
That’s going to be more than enough to keep you happy on a flight, coach or train journey, We ran an HD movie on repeat via the Netflix app, using the setting that maximises battery without affecting screen brightness, and the Surface Go kept going for an impressive 9 hours and 46 minutes. Microsoft claims up to 10 hours of battery life based on typical usage, and that certainly meshes with our experience. Microsoft Surface Go 2 review: Battery life and connectivityĪ tablet is no use without decent battery life, and thankfully the Surface Go 2’s is very decent indeed, especially when compared to the original Surface Go. You probably won’t be using it a lot though, as most modern smartphone cameras are better, not to mention easier to shoot with.
The rear camera is capable of shooting 5MP images and 1080p video, and gave an acceptable performance for such a low-priced device.
It also worked perfectly with the thing Microsoft was most excited to tell us about: the ‘Windows Hello’ feature that lets you unlock your computer based on facial recognition. The webcam impressed us enormously, providing a clear, crisp and bright picture on our Skype calls. The Surface Go boasts two cameras: a 5MP one on the front for using as a webcam, and an 8MP one on the rear to take pictures and video with. The audio is not quite as polished as, say, an iPro Pro or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, but it’s not at all far off. The dual stereo speakers pumped out a full, rich sound with a good level of bass, enhancing our enjoyment of movies, music and casual games. Sound quality, too, was pretty impressive. This didn’t particularly bother us, though, and the superb picture more than makes up for such niggles. A cinemascope film such as Wolf of Wall Street (2.39:1) then, only takes up 75 per cent of the available screen space. Whether we were watching a film, surfing the web or using an app, we found it all a delight for the eyes.ĭo note, however, that the screen has a ratio of 3:2, making it slightly taller than standard 16:9. The Surface Go 2’s 10.5in LCD touchscreen is crisp, bright and clear, with vivid colours and pin-sharp 220ppi (pixels per inch) resolution.
