    Watching on my Microsoft surface duo and the screen is still crisp and bright. The only thing that let it down, was the camera. 😊

      The Duo 2 almost completely overcomes the camera limitations of the OG Duo. I use a Gcam port on my Duo 2 and the pics/vids are very solid quality. If you can get your hands on a well-used Duo 2, I would recommend it.

    I was so hella hyped when MS announced the SD1 that I bought an old Axon M so I could experience dual screens and be ready for the release of the SD1. I loved my SD1 until MS released an update that bricked it. I couldn't go back to only having 1 screen, so I bought the SD2 (with that awful camera hump). I'm still happily using it today while many of my friends with Samsung Folds have had to replace them several times due to screen crease issues. BTW, MS released another update unbricking my SD1 so now it is my backup phone. Also, because I keep both phones in hybrid cases, it affects both phone's cameras. The hybrid case does a great job protecting the phones, but it doesn't allow the screens to open more than 180 degrees. This makes it impossible to take anything but selfies with the SD1, so I linked an HTC RE camera via Bluetooth and it worked. Oddly, the thickness of the hybrid case leveled out the camera hump on the SD2.

    And; as of a few days ago, you no longer have to have an older build of the Xbox app in order for console streaming to work.
    Meaning us non-Gamepass people can FINALLY just play whatever local Xbox One/Series game on our Surface Duo, complete with the bottom screen controller. This hasn't been possible until just recently. I'm super glad to still have my Duo in 2024 just to see that.

    I loved mine but it disintegrated 😢
    I'm not sure how. I'm not rough on my devices. Yesterday, the screens died and I have to switch. I'm devastated but will reluctantly move on to either to Pixel Fold or the Oneplus Open.
    I'm liking the Pixel Fold's aspect ratio because of all things, it reminds me most of the SurfaceDuo. Microsoft really had something special with this device.

    I have both Duo 1 and Duo2. I always keep my second sim in one or the other. I still love it and i agree it is the best productivity device ever. I dont think people ever really understood the fact that it wasnt supposed to be a foldable. It was a dual screen device. Think of dual monitors instead of an ultra wide monitor

    J., I simply don't understand your aversion to the Duo 2's camera bump. It's effectively the same as the bumper case on the OG Duo. In fact, the bumper case was a trial run for Microsoft to see if a camera bump would work for subsequent generations. Using & liking the OG Duo w/ bumper case is the same as using the Duo 2.

    The hardware is top tier. Honestly, if Blackberry was still around, this would have been the perfect form factor for them. Overall, this is still the best design for a folding phone.

    It's obvious that Microsoft made another blunder when they failed to develop the Duo.
    Was it just that their eye was on Azur and profits in the short term or was it another real blunder akin to dropping Windows Phone
