I am a doctor and I think Surface duo would fit in white coat where I can read between here and there. Jot notes..This is an awesome device for me.
And even though I'm not a doctor that's the exact usage....
@michael michael Ah, a FOLlDABLE Ipad 5g...
nice I asked this question. Thank you for the video.
Hi Shane. Congratulations and thank you! Just what I needed. I stored my Surface Duo a couple of months ago as it is huge as a daily driver, and I bought an iPhone mini. Now I didn’t know whether trading the Surface Duo for an iPad mini but with your conclusions I’ll stick to the SD1 as my secondary driver. Peace out!✌️
This video is literally what my EDC is, my main phone is the small pixel 3 (hopefully getting pixel 6) and I use the surface Duo for productivity and entertainment.
My Entertainment use is mostly tent mode with headphones.
I'm on the exact same boat! I got the OG duo and the camera is admittedly pretty awful (laggy and struggles to even scan QR codes) and Pixel phone cameras never disappoint.

I am on the verge of doing the same🎉 route but an upgraded version Pixel phone (7 pro/7a/8 pro) with the surface duo 2. I travel a good bit and being less noticeable comes in handy.
As opposed to me taking our my surface pro or buying the S8+ which I was considering until today.
As I sit here writing and going down the youtube rabbit whole on my Pixel 3aXl as opposed to my tablet that is next to me I'm realizing the screen size for media consumption is not a strong as a factor as I thought it would be. 🤔
I have a surface duo and now a surface duo 2. Both used as a secondary devices. No sim installed, just used around the house as an ultimate multi-tasking tablet.
My biggest gripe for the hardware part of duo 2 could be screen size. For media consumption I always take out the fold instead of Duo because it's just too small. If the bezel is smaller and screen bigger this would be awesome!
duo 1 and ipad mini 5 owner. Was thiking to take ipad mini 6 once launched but hesitate now bc of duo 2. To be frank i am more excited about duo 2 but I know mini 6 is more promising. Torn.
I have an iPhone 12 mini and a duo. The duo just can't be a primary for me. What kills me about the duo is something that not a lot of people mention and that is the single speaker. Kills me. Great for everything else.
It's pretty terrible. I've actually talked about it a bit. Luckily Duo 2 will have stereo speakers that are hopefully much better... Z Fold has spoiled me.
I've had my Duo for 5 months and still havent put a sim in it. Its my secondary, I just use it all the time at home.
I fear going onto social media the day Apple comes out with the iPad mini that folds and makes phone calls.
I’m torn between an iPad mini 4 or 5 and a surface duo for mobile photo editing. This video kind of helped.
For me Duo is my main device for everything mobile and surface 8 as my main pc. But duo is my go to device for most things unless I need to put hours into my work.
Duo v new iPad mini. Yes! can't compare... They fill very different 'niches' really... I have had the ipad mini for almost 2 weeks now and it's the cutest thing ever... Beside, the not so noticeable jelly-scroll it delivers what it is supposed to do. I can use Procreate again as its only on iOS/iPadOS. Practically speaking however, I have only used it 2-3 times in 2 weeks because it doesn't do what I am used to with duo now e. g. My weekly grocery shop is from 2 apps, Duo is perfect to compare and choose without duplication because I see it side by side... These apps don't support multitasking window on ipad mini (which I was really hoping)... 9/10 times I am using 2 apps at a time so I guess duo is made for people with my use case. In fact, I have been convincing myself that mini is good as a secondary device for me, but rationally speaking I should rather use that money towards duo 2 because I know I would be using it more. Still, got 2 weeks to return the mini and hoping that Microsoft' would offer trade up for it in UK as in US.
Duo is my work device to keep my company off my personal phone. It helps with m365. Android 11 will make that use case stellar.
I have the same use case. During the week my Samsung S10 is turned off (private calls a forwarded to my work phone, the Duo). I use it mainly for work but also privately during the week. But in the weekend I turn it off and I switch to my S10. Easier to use when on the go and overall better to use when being active. Not to mention the much better camera.
get em both FTW! CONSUME!
Great video! Quick question, have you found any good car holder/holster/pocket to place the surface duo? Thanks
Yep ruclips.net/video/rsC7tXNB-ZY/видео.html
@@scaryifliteral thanks so much!
Shane, you don’t happen to live in Arizona do you? I thought I saw you at a gas station today but maybe it was just a doppelgänger. Lol. Thanks for your content. It convinced me to get a duo for my work. It is a wonderful device so far (two weeks into using it). I still use an iPhone for my personal use but I the duo is an excellent secondary device.
Tennessee!
@@scaryifliteral lol. Glad I didn’t bother the poor guy then.
@@scaryifliteral They have WIFI and cellphones in Tennessee? Wow! The world is coming along....
Question I am watching a new guy on RUclips Ryan Tim Tech stating that Microsoft needs to add Samsung's Dex feature to the surface Duo 2 what is your thoughts on a Microsoft Dex feature.
The your phone app is their solution to this problem, I'll be covering it here very soon.
@@scaryifliteral That is what I thought but he claims it is totally different please check out the Video and see if you understand what he is saying ruclips.net/video/DmOZTFxiqYE/видео.html
@@gaunequietstorm8435 Shane, actually did a video where he talks about Dex on his Galaxy Tab.
I don't remember which model it is, maybe a Galaxy Tab, but there is a small Android tablet in which you can insert a SIM card not only for 5G, but for making calls. I think it is better to hesitate between this tablet and an iPad Mini than to hesitate between iPad Mini and the Surface Duo 2 because in use the experience will be a little more similar. No? BTW I love your videos.
You re so right !!!
In my clinic I have 3 imac 27 inch
Ipad pro 11
So many surface studio 's pc
Also a galaxy fold ! (I gave it to my wife...)
And a buggy surface duo with a pen.
Why I' m using surface duo every Day ?
Why I like it so much than all my computers ?
I don't know ?
Just like it that s all..
Maybe because multitasting with pen is so much better than galaxy fold..
PS : you Will never have any bug with the pen !!
Only with the finger, never with the pen
Don't know Why ? But with the pen works like a charm !!!
For me the duo has to improve on its specs to be a contender 👍
For an iPhone user this question is relevant; SD2 is cool but buggy whereas iPad is boring but solid and practical
If you could care less about a camera. Mainly use your device to read Kindle books, Browse the internet, and read email and texts. Few calls. With those would you recommend the Microsoft Duo as a device for me at the current cheap prices?
Yep
Why not have foldable screens and have seperate screens virtual?
You can make all the borders and hinges as large as your heart desires to give that feeling of two "physical" separate monitors.
I still recon foldables screens are the future, they're "flexible" in making all kinds of split screen layouts and the technology is advancing.
only two reasons I chose Z Fold 3 over Surface Duo is Duo has a hinge right in middle and is not running Win 11 to seperate itself from the Android pack.
To me, this is like saying "why not have one ultrawide instead of two monitors?" Sure, you can do split windows on an ultrawide, but I truly believe there is something different about having two distinct and partitioned spaces that has never been properly simulated. I talked about this a lot here - ruclips.net/video/C3WH1Ga6_aI/видео.html
I have a LG V60 dual screen. I also have a Galaxy tab s7 which I've used split screens. Shane is right. Two screens work better than split screen. Split screen does work but some apps do become buggy in that mode. If you extensivly use multiple apps at once then two screen is the way to go, but if it's something that you only do occasionally, you can probably get away with using split screen.
I’d go for Duo 2 if it didn’t cost more than 3 Ipad minis 🥲
So Mini’s A15 and Solid performance rather than a buggy Duo 1 old processor for now
man are there too many surface duo videos? i almost consider this channel as surface duo channel
So basically using the duo as a surface neo mini
I'm surprised how many people are doing that, but I guess it makes sense.
@@scaryifliteral I would too but I’ve retired mine to become a test device at work. even doing that I have to deal with all the bugs and unresponsiveness in basic usage. well that, and it being the most expensive kindle ever.
I mean the ipad mini doesn't have nfc so It can't be used as a real phone.
Secondary device… Mini hands down. Different class altogether. Duo should be primary in my opinion
big twitter 🤣
I know this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the subject of this video but...
I like your sense of style🍜🍥
$1500 vs $499 no thianks MS
Price is far from the only factor. I paid retail for my original Duo and pulled my sim out 6 months ago because the bugs were just too much to handle. So far, Duo 2 is miles ahead of that and I honestly enjoy using it more than I did the OG, before MS's "updates" introduced too many bugs to handle.
@@scaryifliteral sure but my point is that for $1500 you shouldnt have ANY issues especially for a 2 gen product. The Samsung flip is $999 and is an utra extreme product with no issues I have seen... I think it's insulting that MS sells you a product with known software issues and then maybe says "we'll fix it later" because they still havent fixed it duo 1 issues....
"sure but my point is that for $1500 you shouldnt have ANY issues especially for a 2 gen product."
I've no issue with this perspective. If you're looking for a bug-free or relatively bug-free experience, look elsewhere. If you're willing to accept some hiccups to have a dualscreen mobile device, it is what it is.
@@scaryifliteral yup.
iOS is too limited and restrictive for me, and though I was never a fan of Android I found that it at least gave me more control and utility power than iOS ever could...which is why I believe Microsoft missed out on a great opportunity to make the Duo 2 fold out into a 9' and run Windows 11.
The market needs more options out there than just iOS and Android devices. Windows 11 and Linux phablets/foldable "not a phone" would open things up.
Why did you take so long to understand why most of us bought it for.....Imagine reading Kindle, using Word/Excel, annotating pdfs, answering emails etc, writing One Note documents....
Please, not everyone has time to game or watch videos.
You watched a video before you made this comment, so it looks like you do have time to watch videos. Please come on down off your high horse and join us down here where we don't judge people for how they spend their time.
@@scaryifliteral I watch your videos and really like them because you do justice to the product, go into detail, and do an insightful and fair minded analysis. But my statement still applies. You know perfectly well what I meant by saying I don't spend time watching videos or gaming. Finding one pointless counter example to score a pointless point is besides the point. Don't you agree?
Surface doo doo
iPad....?...Apple.....really? That would mean Apple universe......no way! Even if they would give me an iPad, iPhone and every else device for free, never ever Apple, no way!
