      They probably considering it already lol

    • Adian Chowdhury

      October 2, 2020 at 3:04 pm

      Still have high hopes for it, however looking back at Microsoft’s track record, and I can see why people would be skeptical

    • Adian Chowdhury

      October 2, 2020 at 3:05 pm

      I think we should wait till the second model before we come to any conclusions

    For productivity and durability go for Surface Duo or wait for it’s 2nd Gen ????

    • Adian Chowdhury

      October 2, 2020 at 2:56 pm

      yes wait for the second model

      Yep if you love buggy software, no wireless charging, dogshit cameras, weaker soc, no nfc

    Yes we know Mr bursting veins. The reviewer acknowledged that it is not primarily a phone but is basically a mini-tablet/computer with phone and basic camera. If u want a phone with excellent camera then get the Samsung S20, the Pixel 5G or the Galaxy fold etc. Yes the Surface Duo is very good for what it is designed to do. There

    Fold 2 is far better

    Samsung could make a device similar with surface duo and they can do it better than Microsoft.

    • Adian Chowdhury

      October 2, 2020 at 2:59 pm

      even though I have high hopes for Microsoft, I have to agree that Samsung would probably make it better if they tried

    One is revolutionary and the other is overpriced old concept

    • Adithya Udupa

      October 2, 2020 at 12:51 pm

      Errrrrr which one’s the old concept?

    • Adian Chowdhury

    One of the most well presented reviews I have ever seen on You Tube.
    Clear and precise delivery, Direct and to the point coupled with some humour…
    Brilliant, truly 1st Class.

    I really Hope CNET reads this and takes note!

    “There’s ONLY $600 between them” – The fold is 43% more expensive.

    “The fold is SIGNIFICANTLY heavier” – The fold is 14% heavier

    just buy an iphone and ipad mini

      That defeats the purpose for having a single device.

    The duo reminds me of a Nintendo ds

  15. Crackmeajoke !

    October 2, 2020 at 8:35 pm

    What’s actually common in both is that both are useless waste of money. Could get the lastest iphone in much less and have fun on both productivity and media fronts.

    Love my Z Fold2 will never own a traditional phone again

    9-10 hours of screen on time on Z Fold?????? that can’t be right…just no way.
    I will be happy with my 6 hours or so on mine, but I can’t imagine ever getting 9-10 hours.

  18. IamKyst

    October 3, 2020 at 4:13 am

    Zfold crushed it

  19. Ernest Marvin Esteban

    October 3, 2020 at 5:23 am

    Loving my Z fold 2. It’s just an amazing device. And it’s actually very surpising that the front outside screen is really usable especially for checking facebook, twitter, instagram and tiktok. Can’t really imagine going back to regular phone now. The z fold 2 got me spoiled.

  20. Noa Fiel

    One works, the other don’t

  21. Ted M

    2 screens is better than one foldable. Folding is more of a novelty thing

    • any means

      That’s your opinion

    Surface Duo is the clear winner here, I would not carry a Galaxy Z Fold 2 and be really embarrassed by its thickness, fingerprints, crease and frankly its 2,000 cost. No way no how never. I have no issues with my Surface Duo its wonderful and pleased to be seen with it

    I think the main issue for most who don’t see this (yet), is they are stuck with the old Smartphone iteration cycles. Its why some Surface Duo buyers need a crutch and go back to three button navigation. If one embraced the new way forward, they will be rewarded with a much better mobile lifestyle and move the goal to the futuristic stuff.

    You can’t be stuck on a Smartphone slab and get to a better future. The future device is THIN not thick

    • any means

      October 3, 2020 at 10:45 pm

      The duo sucks old specs cheap camera stop it. Doesn’t compare to the fold 2 you’re just trying to justify your purchase

    • Tom Byrne

      October 3, 2020 at 10:53 pm

      @any means It does not suck repeatedly people are shown it launches asps as fast as the newest chip.

    • any means

      October 3, 2020 at 10:54 pm

      @Tom Byrne it repeat the phone sucks old specs ugly design and overpriced crap ???? it’s ok to try and justify your purchase good luck with that lol

    • Tom Byrne

      October 3, 2020 at 10:59 pm

      @any means So its not for you

    • any means

      October 3, 2020 at 11:32 pm

      @Tom Byrne you’re correct crap isn’t for me especially overpriced crap lol

    • Brian J Malmsteen

      October 4, 2020 at 9:39 pm

      any means – both of them are over priced crap.

    • any means

      October 4, 2020 at 9:42 pm

      @Brian J Malmsteen that’s your opinion and if they are both crap why are you watching videos on two overpriced crap phones?

  24. lupe valencia

    October 4, 2020 at 1:03 am

    I love my Duo! It is a productivity Machine. It has been my everything device for the last two weeks. Such a BADASS phone. I can’t stand the fold 2. The plastic screen and crease on the fold 2 drive me nuts. So heavy and bulky….. Hate it. Duo is light, slick and fast.

  26. Torin Parker

    October 4, 2020 at 2:54 am

    Great video…. I’m currently an iPhone user but I’m switching to the Z Fold 2. Thanks again for your insight and differences with both solutions.

    I really like my Surface Duo. I switched from iPhone XS Max. I had never used Android before. I’m really happy with the Duo and Android.

  33. arkhamkillzone

    October 5, 2020 at 3:19 am

    Duo fold is trash. The plastic in the charging area is breaking and the duo fold doesn’t even function properly. Id reccomend to keep right away from duo fold. It is absolute garbage.

  34. Dr. Vlu

    October 5, 2020 at 8:23 am

    The comment section is so full of people getting Z Fold 2. Meanwhile me still using LG G2 from 2013 with custom Android 10 :/

    I couldn’t tell a difference between how she said duo, she sounded like she was saying it perfectly normal to me as an American. Unless it was a joke and it went over my head?

    • simioni

      October 5, 2020 at 12:15 pm

      Australians would typically say /djuːəʊ/ (sounds kinda like d-wow) vs the dryer “u” sound in the american /d(y)o͞oō/. Her australian accent is subtle, though. I would not have picked it up if she hadn’t mentioned it.
