    I'm still loving mine. I was surprised that it got the December security patch as fast as it did. My S22 Ultra is still on November security patch, and the 2 year old Surface Duo is getting them faster. Very underrated device for sure.

    Still loving and using mine as a primary. I agree with that ugly bump on the duo 2 which is why I went for the duo 1st Gen. The sleek form factor and awesome productivity of the device was a win for me especially since I use procreate tools alot for my custom flash work imagery for my tattooing. Just more pocketable overall and easier to carry and use than lugging around a big tablet.

    So I got my Duo1 for $350 off ebay, brand new unlocked and dual sim. Loved it so much I've not looked back at my Samsung foldables, this form factor just makes sense. But after a few months I just missed having NFC so I bought a Duo 2 for $680 unlocked. And I love it, hump and all. Having paid under $1,200 for a gen 1 & gen 2 premium foldable experience I'm a happy camper 🙂

    Hi J, thanks for the great video. My wife got me a Surface Duo as a gift. I love this device! Everything you said about it is true. I really like the position and function of the touch sensor. Much better than my Samsung Galaxy 10+.

  • @choiboix
    @choiboix Год назад +7

    I was skeptical with the duo concept at first questioning its value. But I got one for cheap recently and the hardware really is amazing. It's so thin and the quality of the hinge and glass feels premium. I'm constantly marveling at the design of this thing, even so where the wider width doesn't bother me as I'm a fan of one handed iphone mini like sizes. The issue I have with it has been software related. I'm constantly having touch responsiveness issues. I'm upgraded to 12L and have the latest updates. But I'm having to frequently tap twice or more times to get a response, along with not registering swiping gestures the first time. I have a screen protector on it so not sure if that's an issue. Have anybody else been having frustrating touch responsiveness issues? It gets so annoying I have to switch back to the Fold 4 where the software experience is night and day.

    @carlw6247 Год назад

    Great video J! The only thing you forgot to mention here is how light the OG Duo is. That is very obvious once you get the Duo 2, which more durable, but considerably heavier. You make a great point how awesome the Duo SW is now at such an incredibly low price. I think the Duo 2 is also excellent value, if you can get it for about $1000 or less. Trying one of the Duos now is a smart choice, because you can wait on the next phone from MS which will surely cost a lot when it's released and drop in price after just a few months. In other words, you can move that 3rd Gen Surface phone without paying full price. That's my plan.

    I love m y duo and duo2. What is great about the duo is no phone bump. All they need is a small camera on the back that is good enough to scan documents, and take pictures for documentation purpose. For any real pics, use a real camera or a candy bar phone. The Duo and Duo2 are productivity focused. Just need to have a camera to take the quick pic, import to one note, or make a pdf. etc...

    Lol I just switched to this phone as my main device last night. I love it. Driving around with full screen of Google maps on one side and podcast on the other side is priceless. I'll be selling my pixel 7 pro (for a profit) and maybe pick up a S22U for cheap. BTW I bot bought the DUO for 220 with small Crack on back. Put a skin on it and bumper. Good to go. Phone runs perfect. Never gets hot. Gestures are good.

    I still love mine and use it daily, same story, returned it once, bought it again. First phone I got over OCD issues, I used to get rid of phones for scratches, but I have a cracked back that is covered with a skin. Charger port broke so I broke it evenly and clean, looks like it's supposed to to be that way.

  • @timdawg9198

    Thanks J, watching this made me pull the trigger on one of the best devices for a low price! I got mine brand new unlocked from Amazon for $230. Of course right after I picked mine up prices went back up. I liked it so much I ordered the duo 2. I basically got the duo since it will be close to the form factor of pixel fold, so I figure I may as well get used to this

    I already have the Fold 4 but I got an unlocked brand new duo for $250 and I just couldn't pass it up. I have to admit I like it more than I thought I would. The numerous updates have made a big difference from when it first came out. I'm using it as my daily driver for now and it's actually running just fine. Now that I already have t he fold I'd probably choose it but if I had bought this before I probably would have never bought the fold.

  • @timacona
    @timacona Год назад +1

    I had a love hate relationship with my Duo. I think I was infatuated with the design and potential of use and features. Sadly, during the time that I had it, (up to Android 11) it never lived up its potential. I am a power user, and for me, it couldn't keep up. Eventually, my battery started to go bad and my OG Duo died. Oddly enough, I thought it would be hard going back to a regular phone but my Pixel 6 Pro is serving me well. Especially with 5G, NFC, and a good Bluetooth.

Will not be used as a phone. The iPhone is my everyday phone. Although it’s cheap, hope I won’t be disappointed! Thanks for sharing!

    I bought this unlocked on Mercari ladt 128GB version I was going to give it to me for Christmas of 2021 because I so wanted that one when I first seen it new in 2020 but I gave myself the ZFOLD 3 last the one the screen broke in June of this year and I gave it to my twin son and he has the S22 Ultra I got him for Christmas and I got the ZFOLD 4 in August. I haven't took the Surface Duo out of the box yet I did when I first gotten it but it's has been still sitting in the box. The seller on Mercari included some cool accessories with my order last year like an orange skin and two screen protectors and included Microsoft Surface Earbuds too. I ended getting them replaced with Microsoft for free when the one earbud was damaged. And now my house has wifi I can get it out set it up and download the updates and keep it along with my laptop in the bag to use along with my laptop computer too!!! 😁💻📱❤️
