The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) is an example of a great Tablet at its $300 budget.

In the case of the $684 Microsoft Surface Duo, however, we weren't able to find enough data to come to any reliable conclusions. If you're considering buying a Tablet in the $750 range, we encourage you to take a look at some other options.

Moving on to the Microsoft Surface Duo: it was loved by reviewers at Popular Mechanics and Gear Patrol - two reliable sources that conduct objective in-depth testing.

There's one caveat here - a direct Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) vs. Microsoft Surface Duo comparison might not be entirely justifiable due to the difference in their pricing and the fact that some sources tend to give lower ratings to cheaper products because they don't take value for money into account.
