![]() ![]() I can see why people say not to use it as your daily driver because there are tons of bugs and there is a perceptible lag when typing. I just bought one a week ago but I'm not using it as my main device. □ YouTube: Using a Surface Duo in 2022 | A long term review Or better yet, allow me to use my 2nd screen to find it for you. There's a long haired fellow that goes into depth about the duo 1 and how it holds up in 2022. You can definitely get a years use out of it I think. You need to open the phone to see what dinged or who's calling. No outer display means you cannot quickly check notifications. Top and bottom bezel are HUGE, but the screen is so big it doesn't really bother me at all. I've seen posts here showing the OUTER glass is pretty fragile and the part of the case that surrounds the USB port is likely to break apart. Hinge will block anything being displayed in the middle of the screen on most apps when they're spanned across both screens. It's kind of awkward to hold to your ear and talk on the phone.(I don't talk much) Gestures to control the phone take getting used to.Ĭamera isn't great ,so if you're into picture taking, that's a point of consideration. I can't bieve how thin it is.Įverything else operates as an android phone Should. Stardew Valley one one side, YouTube/Netflix on the other. Or one side for email, one side for your calendar. One side For a browser, one side for a note pad. So not being able to scan a QR code and connect to a network is a con. It won't accept e-sim for my 5G provider. However, I Iive outside the US, but the unlocked version works on local networks with 4G at least. My main phone is a Fold 3, Considering moving to this phone full time. Have any further thoughts? Be sure to drop a comment below.I just got one to fool around withand I think it's awesome. Ross Peden: I like the form factor except for 1 big drawback – it doesn’t have any external screen (even a small one would do) so to operate as a phone you essentially have to open it up each call - a deal breaker for me.But Kudos to MS for following through! I’m sure dual-screen devices from all companies will lower in the next few years, but now it’s still early. But I’m a little skeptical since they didn’t give any demo units out. And they made the dual screens useful in camera mode too. Arun Topez: I appreciate that Microsoft actually listened to all the feedback and actually gave it a beefy hardware update.The price is fine it’s a high end device. Joshua Polite: If the software is fixed I’m in.And if they took it one step further and created Windows 11 mobile for it, I would seriously consider buying one (used). But I do appreciate Microsoft taking a risk and continuing the development of a different type of device. Techngro: I love the idea, but not the price.Microsoft ruined the form factor in listening to the YouTube whiners. This device did not need a flagship camera, just a better one. You will not be able to hold the device with one hand while taking a photo with the camera system. Matthew: As a Duo one owner, The camera bump is a deal breaker.I also suspect it’ll sell better than the first gen. ![]() The concept of the Duo is still unique, and I’d think anyone who sees the value in a dual-screen (as opposed to a folding single screen) phone will take interest. ![]() Jonathan Bishop: It’s enough of an upgrade that I’m seriously considering getting one as my next phone, after deciding the first gen wasn’t good enough last year.Duo 1 is over a year out of date on its version of Android, does not give me confidence in Duo 2 especially for $1500 friggin dollars. I do prefer the dual screen over the folding single big screen as multi-tasking is just way better, but not at $1500+, maybe if it started at $999 for the base model, I’ll wait for the fire sale on the Duo 2 before picking one up. Shizuma: While I love the concept of the Duo, I have the original Duo, the software is a buggy mess and Microsoft has basically given no support at all in fixing the issues and the price is simply way too damn high for what’s basically a normal phone with a 2nd screen stuck to the side as opposed to an expensive folding screen phone. ![]()
