Microsoft Surface Duo review: I just want my old phone back
The Surface Duo, Microsoft’s dual-screened Android device, goes for a new take on folding-phone design, but in our weeks using it the experience hasn’t been as good as we expected. Here’s what we’ve been struggling with so far. You can buy Microsoft Surface Duo here… Microsoft: Best Buy: *CNET may get a commission from these…

Lol.. I’d rather just have one solid screen. It’s like projecting Hd on someone’s asscrack.

Microsoft always fail, following the trends!
The idea is good, but the design is horrible, look at samsung or apple.

Pass! I wish they made a Windows Phone OS version of this phone. Android ruins this hardware.

This entire review just sounded like he didn’t know how to use the phone.

I still don’t see how Microsoft can’t get a phone right.

It’s a great device… as long as you don’t turn it on.

I count on my phone in my Jeep being in a wireless charging dock and there is no way that would work at all. Just not worth the money when you can get a decent phone and Laptop for that price.

I prefer iPhones and iPads but I really love the hardware of the Duo. If MS can make this form factor a true player in this new market with truly optimized software, well, I can see myself using this to replace an iPhone but I’ll always keep my iPads.

They should have released a Uno phone. Just the one screen, rear camera(s) with same clean design.

this is why they had them use the hardware without switching it on, they knew the software was not ready for prime time, they figured the reviewers would look past the software issues and just praise the hardware…”It is well made, the hinge is sturdy”

This is dual screen Tablet phone hybrid device not for everyone especially this reviewer if i have to pay 600 dollars plus for a smart phone
give me surface duo 2 screens. the Duo needs more specs to attract single hign end smart phone owners. they will work out the hard ware
& software needs for the DUO as time goes onward. The DUO will be improved Microsoft has a Winner.

“Microsoft answer to folding phones”
You just outed yourself. So what that the galaxy fold and others exist. You trying to pigeonhole the duo into their space shows you don’t understand the intent.

Honestly, this video was a really bad indictment of the reviewer, not the device.

It’s actually pretty amazing how a company that primarily makes it’s money through software just cannot figure out mobile software

So the software is not optimized for the hardware.

Played with it a little at BB have to say it’s amazing how thin it is and how the hinge feels but I got frustrated in just 5 mnts of using it.

If Samsung Galaxy Flip and Fold works great, why couldn’t they basocally use the exact same Android build!?
Basically all you need is a screen driver/instruction set that splits the Display into two or take the gap into account.
I mean the fold can split the screen via Android OS software in like 12 different user chosen or gyro-rotation ways…

I have been using my Duo since Thursday. It has been smooth and a positive experience. The only pain point for me is the camera. Not great, but not terrible. I don’t usually post to Instagram and I have real cameras to take pictures when I go on vacation so it’s not that big of deal, but I wish they had asked Google for more help with the camera. Other than that the Duo has been great, batteries have been great, the screen look awesome, and the experience is way better than a slab of phone. That is my opinion.
