I can tap on one and then go down into the pair. So I can go through and browse through this like it is kind of an album and see the different duplicates. You can see I even have one that is there three times. Maybe ones you took just one second after the other so they look extremely similar. If may also find photos that are nearly identical.

It will show you the number of duplicates it has found right there. Media Types and at the very bottom you're going to see Utilities. Shared Albums, People, Places, different things like that.
