I sold my original Duo, bought a Fold 4, missed the Duo and just bought a Duo again as a second device. I absolutely love it. I think people seem to be coming back around to it now it's much cheaper. It is like no other device. Impossibly thin. A diamond that will sadly soon be lost to history.
Yep, same here. Sold the Duo 2 as it couldn’t be my main phone and went back to the more elegant Duo 1. Utterly a companion device to my life but one which puts a smile on my face every time I open it. 😊
That is a perfect description of the Duo 1 "Elegant." I'm of the belief that Microsoft needs to go backward before they can move forward. Thank you for watching.
I have had 2 surface duo 2's and 2 surface duos. When Msoft announced the end of the Duo line I bought a spare Surface duo 1 so I have an extra. Currently I use the duo 2 as my main phone. I think the original duo's screens look better than the duo 2...But they are the most fun and useful tech products I have ever owned. Could never use a norma phone again.
Wow, you're clearly all in. I can respect that, I started off with the Duo one and then upgraded to the Duo 2. Once I heard Microsoft was going in that the direction I decide to sell the duo 2 and go back to the Dual one as a secondary device. There was no way I was going to go through a gen-one device with Microsoft again. Since everything seemed to be going single screen fold I decided to get the one that has four generations. I have to admit though, I still enjoy the surface Duo more than the fold 4.
Nice video man. Everyone that sees my phone is like what the heck is that?!?!? they are wowed by the 2 screens and the folding back and nobody has ever even heard of it. I think its just a public beta were all a part of and didn't know.
That's a real perspective! I'm saddened MS seems to be going the way of the Dodo bird with the two screens we love. I'll keep on beta testing this one. 👍
I bought my Duo about 6 months ago. I purchased it for 50 dollars. The fella I purchased it from sold it cheap saying only one of the screens worked. I got it. Saw it had Duo Mono installed on it (An app to make it function as a single screen device). Deleted that app and it's perfectly functional. The duo is a pretty great device. It's a shame it didn't catch on. Personally I wish they did a plastic backed, eink screen e-reader in the format. Would be the coolest device ever. I wasn't a big fan of the direction the Duo 2 went in. The camera bump making it not be able to fold together flat pretty much ruined the entire concept of the form factor to me.
Wow, that's an awesome deal you snagged by finding that app that fixed the issue with your Duo's second screen!" I totally agree that it's a bummer they didn't come out with the "Surface Duo lite" with a plastic back. Anyway, thank you so much for tuning in to my channel. I really appreciate your support!

How did someone accidentally download Duo mono? You would think they would try a factory reset or something when the second screen wouldn't work which would automatically delete duo mono What a strange story.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 I don't believe it was accidental. I purchased it from a reseller. I assume he bought a lot. Thought this was a damaged phone in the lot and didn't bother to look into it further
Great video, mate! I have the exact Bible setup as you have. Great minds think alike :) I also have both the Duo OG and the Fold 4, and I find myself going back to the Duo more often for the convenience of study. Great content and I look forward to more. May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Having access to God's word at our fingertips, along with the ability to take notes and improve ourselves according to His will, is truly a blessing beyond measure. Keep holding onto your faith, my friend, and know that God will always pour out His blessings upon you. Thumbs up to you!

That's absolutely one of the best use cases for the Surface Duo, especially when you can get it at such an amazing price!

The Note series was and is certainly a great line of devices. I used them from the 6 through the 20 Ultra. Today there are so many devices that use a pen, but I think the Note set the bar for sure.
@GOT good old tech The only reason I upgraded is for the speed and camera. I also use it for voice notes because it can take micro SD for extra storage
Hey Michael! So initially there were rumors that the Surface Duo 3 would have one solid screen, but I'm actually going to cover that in my next video. Personally, I think if they were going to go that route, they would need to make the one solid screen function like two separate screens to really pique my interest. Anyway, since giving up my Surface Duo 2 and going back to the original, I feel like I made the right decision. But I don't want to give away too much of what I'm going to talk about in my next video. All that being said, I have to admit that I'm not feeling very hopeful about the Surface Duo 3. But hey, who knows, maybe Microsoft will surprise us all! Thanks for tuning in and for your great question Michael.
What a fantastic question! I'm a big fan of sketching and drawing on all sorts of devices myself. My personal go-to for digital drawing is my trusty Samsung Tablet. However, I do want to let you know that you can definitely sketch on the Surface Duo as well! When I use it for drawing, I like to fold it over and use just one screen. Trying to draw with both screens open can be a bit tricky because of the separation. To make the most of your Surface Duo for drawing, I recommend using an app called Sketchbook and pairing it with a 3rd party Surface pen. There are tons of different pens to choose from, or if you're feeling fancy, you can go for the more expensive Surface pen. Now, as an artist, I will say that the Surface Duo might not be the best option for larger or more complex works. But it's perfect for killing time when you're out and about, waiting in line, or just want to sketch on-the-go. Thank you so much for your question and for tuning into my channel. Your feedback and questions mean the world to me, so please don't hesitate to reach out in the future!
I'm sorry you're hearing a high pitched sound. I'm not hearing it on my devices. If anyone else hears it, I'd like to know so I can resolve it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
@@Discgolfboggieman I'm using wired earbuds and I can definitely hear a high pitched sound in the background. It's annoying but not to the point where I can't keep watching the video.

@@TheZooness With all that in mind, I believe you will get all that and more out of the Duo. Thank you for sharing. Know that I'll be here if you have any questions. Enjoy!
Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Brett! I may have misspoken earlier. Upon reviewing the original agreement, it appears that it was for a minimum of three years which will expire in August 2023. The Surface Duo 2, on the other hand, has two more years of support. I appreciate your input and hope that Microsoft will extend their support beyond the minimum time period they committed to since they took so long to improve the Surface Duo. Thank you for your support and tuning into my channel.
That is a good question. I believe the answer really depends on where you live. I'm in the USA and it can be found in eBay.

I have a galaxy fold 4, but have wanted a surface duo original for years. Is there a convenient way to use it as a backup that enables my mobile data plan I already have for my galaxy fold 4? I don't want to play the switch the sim card every day game, and relying on wifi is not ideal. I haven't found any solutions to use both effectively, it's usually use one and leave the other at home.
I totally get where you're coming from when it comes to wanting to use the Surface Duo without the hassle of switching SIMs or paying extra fees with your carrier. Personally, I've found a workaround that works for me - I use my Z Fold 4 as a hotspot and connect my Surface Duo to it using a private WIFI connection. Using the hotspot all day does drain the battery a bit faster, but I haven't had any issues with my Fold 4's battery dropping below 40%. And when I get home, I just turn off the hotspot and my Duo automatically connects to my home network. Plus, I've been able to use Google messages on my Surface Duo and it syncs up perfectly with the messages on my phone. Honestly, most days I don't even need to touch my Fold 4 except for making calls - and I don't really make calls at work, so it works out well for me. I might even try doing a "day in the life of the Duo without a SIM" video at some point! Anyway, I hope this was helpful for you.

Hey there, Dan! I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for tuning in to our channel and for leaving such an intriguing comment. Your input is truly appreciated! Interestingly, I hadn't come across the idea that the first two Surface Duos could have been test cases in preparation for the third generation. It actually makes a lot of sense for each product to build upon and improve from its predecessors. Although I must admit, being used as a test case does feel a little unusual, doesn't it? (laughs) Personally, I'm really hoping that they do release a 3rd Gen Surface Duo, and if they do, I'm crossing my fingers for a solid folding screen that functions as seamlessly as if the two screens were used together. That would be fantastic! Once again, I want to extend my thanks for your comment. Oh, and if you haven't already, please consider liking this video and subscribing to our channel so you won't miss out on future content. And most importantly, keep those insightful comments coming!

That is an excellent inquiry. From its inception, the Duo has been beset with glitches, most of which have been resolved through two years of updates. Nevertheless, the Duo continues to experience occasional bothersome glitches. My assessment is that this is largely due to app developers' failure to develop programming that is compatible with Duo's two screen format. Microsoft should take proactive measures to integrate fixes into its operating system. Nonetheless, the device remains an elegant and dependable tool that performs admirably under most circumstances. Therefore, I recommend it as a supplementary device.
I still owned the SD1... Since Pandemic years and I would NOT sell it for nothing. FYI, and I do have have an on-line Bible that I read. Read The Bible People😊
Hey there! One of the best uses I've found for the Surface Duo is Bible study. I use a couple of Bible apps and OneNote for note-taking, and it's been a game-changer for my study routine.

It's funny you mention that. I just installed the DS Emulator Friday and tried my hand at SuperMario. I'm not good at those games but certainly GOT to try it. 😃The video quality isn't great on that game, or it may be the Emulator. I'll put something out on the Emulators and recommend what I think works best. Thanks for the suggestion.
I think that's exactly right. I loaded a few more games and found the same thing. I'll put out a video this week. There is a site where you can download hundreds of the games for free. Pretty cool.
Hey @NotTranzPhatt! You're absolutely right about the Surface Duo 1 being unsupported now, and the support for the Duo 2 expiring next September. Unfortunately, it seems like Microsoft hasn't shared any news about the future of the Duo series, so it's hard to say what's next. Right now, I wouldn't recommend investing in either device. It's such a shame because I personally still use and enjoy the Duo 1, and I plan on holding onto it until it can't be used anymore. Thank you so much for tuning into the channel and sharing your comment! Your support means a lot to me.
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 I personally returned the google pixel fold because I had the worst case of buyers remorse. I was ready to pull the trigger on the 1st gen device today, but refuse because of this unfortunate fate.
Right now is probably the lowest Duo community moral has ever been. The team behind Duo software has been mostly stripped to go work on teams for Android. There been hardly any word from Microsoft recently. Not only that, but Microsoft has pretty much run out of replacement devices. I love my Duo 2, but we're heading towards rock bottom with Duo 2.
I've come to the same conclusion, which is why I sold my Duo 2 and went back to the original. It has the same feel with a cleaner design. Who knows where Microsoft is going? I'm afraid they may just abandon it altogether after the release of the Pixal fold and even the Z Fold 5. Why release another 1st Gen device when your record feels/shows like abandonment already.
fold device force you to use full screen then u out of battery and force to use both hand all the time. ya battery life is painful too. heating while charging , went to one plus 11 full charge within 27 min. i wil only buy foldable device if they include super fast charge like one plus 11.
Welcome to the channel! We appreciate you being here. I completely understand your perspective. Despite three years of continuous improvements, there are still some lingering issues that might never be resolved. It can be a bit disheartening, but we're committed to making the best out of it! 😊
Thank you very much for letting me know. I use a wireless mic and connect to my DSLR. I'll listen ear buds and work until I eliminate that excess noise. I honestly never heard it myself. All I may have to do is run it through a noise filter on my audio editor. Thanks again.
I sold my original Duo, bought a Fold 4, missed the Duo and just bought a Duo again as a second device. I absolutely love it. I think people seem to be coming back around to it now it's much cheaper. It is like no other device. Impossibly thin. A diamond that will sadly soon be lost to history.
Well said! My sentiment exactly.

The surface duo 1sr gen no longer receives security patches
Hey @NotTranzPhatt! You're absolutely right about the Surface Duo 1 being unsupported now, and the support for the Duo 2 expiring next September. Unfortunately, it seems like Microsoft hasn't shared any news about the future of the Duo series, so it's hard to say what's next. Right now, I wouldn't recommend investing in either device. It's such a shame because I personally still use and enjoy the Duo 1, and I plan on holding onto it until it can't be used anymore. Thank you so much for tuning into the channel and sharing your comment! Your support means a lot to me.
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 I personally returned the google pixel fold because I had the worst case of buyers remorse. I was ready to pull the trigger on the 1st gen device today, but refuse because of this unfortunate fate.
Right now is probably the lowest Duo community moral has ever been. The team behind Duo software has been mostly stripped to go work on teams for Android. There been hardly any word from Microsoft recently. Not only that, but Microsoft has pretty much run out of replacement devices.
I love my Duo 2, but we're heading towards rock bottom with Duo 2.
I've come to the same conclusion, which is why I sold my Duo 2 and went back to the original. It has the same feel with a cleaner design. Who knows where Microsoft is going? I'm afraid they may just abandon it altogether after the release of the Pixal fold and even the Z Fold 5. Why release another 1st Gen device when your record feels/shows like abandonment already.
fold device force you to use full screen then u out of battery and force to use both hand all the time.
ya battery life is painful too. heating while charging , went to one plus 11 full charge within 27 min.
i wil only buy foldable device if they include super fast charge like one plus 11.
The worst part, the software.
Welcome to the channel! We appreciate you being here. I completely understand your perspective. Despite three years of continuous improvements, there are still some lingering issues that might never be resolved. It can be a bit disheartening, but we're committed to making the best out of it! 😊
I'll subscribe just to support you. 👍
Thank you very much for letting me know. I use a wireless mic and connect to my DSLR. I'll listen ear buds and work until I eliminate that excess noise. I honestly never heard it myself. All I may have to do is run it through a noise filter on my audio editor. Thanks again.
Thanks. 👍
Thank you, I appreciate your support. 👍👍
