Surface Duo supports all of the apps in the Google Play store, but Duo’s dual-screen design offers new ways of interacting with apps, whether they have been specifically designed to run on Duo or not. o Launching two apps side by side is easy. App is launched on a side from where the app was selected from. For example, open Outlook mail by tapping the icon on the home screen on the left screen, then open your calendar by tapping the calendar icon on right screen. Now you can easily see you calendar, when someone is asking you availability on email. o Dual instance refers to the ability to have two instances of an app running next to each other. For example, Surface Duo with Microsoft Edge is the only mobile device that offers the ability to run two browser instances side-by-side, so you can cross-reference content or multitask. o Spanning and uniquely taking advantage of both screens (master/detail) o Enhanced apps gives you more capabilities when an app is spanned to two screens. For example see your inbox for mails on left, and read your emails on right, see your photo gallery and click photos on left, and see photos in full screen view on right.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Normal apps will just run like any app and can be single screen or span across both screens, while "enhanced apps" as you call them -- like most of Microsoft's apps and the Amazon Kindle app for example -- have been updated to more intelligently span across both screens such as showing different things on each screen rather than simply spanning across one combined screen.
