Comparison review
Microsoft Surface Duo is just a bit better than the iPhone SE, with a 78.8 score against 75.7. Microsoft Surface Duo's design is extremely newer and way thinner than the iPhone SE's, but it's way heavier. Microsoft Surface Duo has a slightly better display than iPhone SE, because it has a lot bigger screen, a bit more pixels per inch of screen and a lot higher resolution of 1800 x 2700 pixels.
The Microsoft Surface Duo's memory capacity to store more games and applications is very similar to the Apple iPhone SE one, they have the same 128 GB internal storage capacity. Microsoft Surface Duo has a better processor than iPhone SE, because it has a greater amount of RAM memory and a larger number of cores (and faster).
IPhone SE captures a little bit better pictures and videos than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is worse for capturing photos or videos in low-light environments and lower 30 frames per second video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the iPhone SE also counts with a more MP camera.
Microsoft Surface Duo features a much better battery performance than iPhone SE, because it has 3577mAh of battery capacity against 1624mAh.
The Microsoft Surface Duo costs a little more money than iPhone SE, but you can get a better phone for that few more dollars.
