It's already received a couple major updates. I own it and I'm not experiencing the problems in these reviewer videos. It was unfortunate that reviewers didn't get the good update until about 3-4 days before release date. As far as pen support, Android has minimal support. It's not like Windows which has pressure curves at the OS level. On Android, it depends on the app to provide pressure sensitivity. I love my Surface Duo and I'll never go back to a normal slab phone.
@@JesusReyes-kr3wt I mean outside of the bugs, why would this flop? Surface has a huge following and Microsoft has been teasing a device like this since the kourier. That alone will carve out some type of Niche for this device. If the software was stellar and the device is rootable and you can put custom roms or even other OSs on it, there's no reason any Tech Enthusiast would not want this device. Outside of having to pay $1,400 for it. But I mean people are paying $1,000 for a candy bar slab iPhone that does nothing really unique.
Jerome Davis What most of you don’t understand is that the cellphone sector is different from computers, customers have three trains of thought when it comes to buying cellphones: Apple (brand recognition and reliability) Samsung (Wow factor (Galaxy fold), and brand recognition and reliability ) and finally Cost effective android phones (just focused on the price and affordability), Microsoft duo doesn’t have the “phone” brand recognition, Wow factor (we have seen folding phones like this with the zte and isn’t anything special like a folding screen), no reliability history and it isn’t cost effective
FINALLY! None of the reviewers I saw talked about the pen... If something like it come cheaper in the future it could be one of the best note taking devices ever made
Hey, Wacom! You see this? Make one! Please! Phone MS up, and tell them, "You got a nice phone there, how about we put wacom inside that thing too?". Wacom One inside that thing, might be, nice, or more than that. After the Early adopter phase is over. Although we already have Samsung with wacom tech inside, it would be great if MS finally gave up on their stylus tech, which is dog turds TBH, and either get wacom tech, or something similar in quality, it would change things, really change things!
I saw a video of a dude comparing the Microsoft X pen to the older pens on this thing. The new flat pen seemed to jitter less than the regular pens. I would recommend checking that if you still have that stylus.
Been hoping you’d review this! I’m that weirdo who is like “gee I see a way I can use this!” Mine should be here later today. I’ve been wanting something like this since I saw that Courier concept. I’m NOT a fan of Android though (snobby, I know), but willing to try this out. This will be my “other” phone - or more like my digital Moleskine/Field Notes pad and since I’ve strived to be more paperless this might actually work for quick sketches and notes.
Been using mine since launch day. No bugs here. Froze once, then came around 5 seconds later. Every once in a while it takes about 20 seconds to launch Edge. Its obvious what the issue is there. I realize i have 4 instances of it and the software is likely trying to figure out which one works on the screen I am on. Nothing but amazing from here.
Duo looks great as a note taking device 🤔 very very expensive note taking device 😅 I’m currently using iPad Mini in taking notes and very interested in comparison between the two...
Microsoft and Samsung have been working together more and more recently, and honestly, with the tab s7 and the surface duo, I'm getting more and more excited about the creative possibilities!
for me I just don’t find myself having the room for this but not for an ipad (or any tablet). this wouldn’t fit in my pocket anyways so if I have to store this in my bag, might as well get another tablet that just works better. this isn’t something I’d use at all.
I've been loving all your videos, even about products I wouldn't really buy. I am hoping you will review the Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel soon, as always from your creative and funny point of view 😁 keep it up!
I was really excited for this when they announced it last year. i even held off on upgrading my phone to be sure i could get it . and yeah i can see where this can go and how great it could be . its not there yet for me . I need the camera to be better, and its disappointing considering how great the cameras were on the Windows 10 phones, which i miss alot.
The Phone is like Marmite... Just got mine today, Paid £350 New. Android 11 Update makes it run pretty damm well! Pros outweighs the Cons for sure. It feels amazingly premium and that hinge is pure beauty. Definitely the right step forward. I'll keep this until its no longer supported and hopefully they'll make a Surface Duo 3. Also I like Marmite!! aha and I highly recommend this product to people who are looking for a premium foldable phone.
For real production and all that, get a PC. Bigger monitor for UI and workflow, more power, silent, upgradeable, less temperature issues. Good luck rendering decently sized projects on a laptop without spending over a grand on one. And even then your temperatures are gonna skyrocket and the fan will sound like a vacuum cleaner. "But muh portability." Just get an iPad or a Tab. And then finish the work on your PC. Laptops are garbage for production when compared to complete portability of a tablet, and the complete power of a pc.
Does this support image drag and drop from one app to another, especially from browsers like opera or mozilla to note taking apps like OneNote or Noteshelf? Thanks.
I think I'm the one like you describe ^^ I already see how I can use it, I have not problem drawing on Surface devices, and I think it can be a cool mobile sketchbook. I had a One Mix 2S Yoga that was cool to use but the pen was so disappointed, and I think the Surface Duo could be the device I'm wait for. I know it's buggy and so, but I ordered it anyway. I can't wait to receive it. Hope updates will correct the bugs you're showing at the beginning though xD Too bad that Artflow if bugging :( You are not the only one reporting this. And thanks for your review ! I didn't expect you doing one, so I'm happy you did.
@@IV.Fourth Thanks, I know the device is expensive for what it is "right now" but I think I will have a lot of fun using it :) Long time a phone device didn't make me so excited to get :)
@@IV.Fourth I suppose it does but as it's android and not windows I don't know if the pen behave the same way. Anyway I'll be sure soon, I should receive my unit tomorrow or the day after ^^

people like my husband. This would be a great business productivity. waiting for next version though. the first surface tablets were buggy too. peace. I think this has a real business/office on the go. He is a remodeling contractor and does not like tablets and laptops. He uses a Note and love it but having the ability to have a true double screen, he has is eye on the Duo. just waiting though.
Microsoft : launches a new phone with two screens.......... Me : Dangggg, I can finally watch youtube videos and memes on seperate full screens at the same time ( Mind Blown)
funny thing is Microsoft's first generation Surface Products need work & they get it right by 3rd model. i think Microsoft's desire to make to make the duo super thin caused it not to have enough room to have the tech inside it to be more useful.. They should make a "Duo Pro" which should !/4 inch less wider & 3/4 longer & thick enough to have more tech parts inside it to make it more useful. Perhaps Microsoft can install the Lumia 1020 smart phone's 41 Mega pixel Camera inside the new "Duo Pro" case. that would be Awesome
To be honest I am surprised to hear that the phone adapted to your life, and not the other way around. I can't remember a device that did that, because there is a learning curve. The biggest drawback I find in 99% of the devices today is that they are not multi-use. Sure, a candybar design can be used as camera/videocamera, multimedia player and to an extent, reader and drawing board; but then you need a larger surface like a tablet, which you can't carry around so easily. The foldable device fill that gap; you do not need 2 devices but one. And while companies are learning what works best, as they did with the candybar form factor and its variants, the same will happen with foldable devices. As far as the duo; put on it a better camera, give time to MS to clean up the bugs and to Google to make a better OS aimed at that, and wait for developers to make apps that use the 2 screen setup and your life will adapt to it, like you did with the other devices before this, without even think about it. After all, take the original iphone, remove the software and what is left is a tiny touch screen phone; Apple played that smart by getting the software and the 3rd party apps right at launch, while MS is testing the water to see if they should go 2 screens or foldable probably, so the software out there is poor at the moment, and that is the reason why people are not going crazy and line up to get a duo.
So the only hope for this software is the promise from a company that has released for so long time buggy updates to their main product? I guess throwing $1400 to some multi billion company is some kind of weird trend I can't understand...
The software is more on Googles side, since Android isn't meant to be used that way. So it will naturally take time until android will be able to adapt to unusual designs.
Last years processor was fast at the time, no? I’m using last years iPhone pro, it’s processor is still fast. I get it doesn’t have the latest, but it’s not as though it’s slow. Year in year out, all we get are COU/GPU/Camera incremental updates. I’m so bored of it. I know version 2 will be better, but I’m not waiting. I’m jumping ship and going the Duo now!
I think that while phones can't reliably not annoy me when I leave auto-rotation on, no phone like this will ever be pleasing to use on a day to day basis.
Looks awesome to me and I want one. I have a surface book and LOVE it btw (also have iPad Pro and MacBook Pro) but SBook is my go-to. I think this will also be a huge win when Software is beefed up.
it's one of those products where the second generation is probs way more interesting than the first. the phone looks amazing tho. I applaud microsoft for trying something new. I can't wat for the Neo though. I'm really looking forward to that one since I guess that one will be even more interesting fot artists.
i bought first surface pro with wacom tech emr pen (loved it) and followed the evolution of surface line because at that time its one of the best gadget to draw on (no apple pencil at that time), at some point microsoft made an advertising for surface pro 2 that lean to artist and designer market and i was pretty excited about it. unfortunately the ads means nothing as they moved to ntrig pen since surface pro 3 which is a huge let down because the pen is much worse with jitter and the pressure went from 1024 to 256 and until now their pen is still really bad. idk why they didn't pursue the artist market like ipad pro do which lead them to a huge success, i would pick windows os anytime rather than ipad's apple os for drawing needs.
I have one and love it. I've been an iPhone guy for years now and have tried switching to Android twice before and have always gone back. This is the device that keeps me. Joining the /r/surfaceduo subreddit has really helped me with getting things working well. There is a ton of great info there (including your bubble head issue).
A few years ago this phone would have been amazing but now there's better options. If I had a surface product, maybe?? But Galaxy (Note and Book Flex) is too good right now.
Honestly. This is the device i hope apple will do at some point with the speed and finish you expect of apple. Props to microsoft for showing this direction in foldables.
Great review! you're the only reviewer I know who talks about the surface pen support on the Surface Duo. Always love your tech reviews from a creative professional perspective 👍

Don’t hold your breath brother, this is gonna flop

I'm honestly on pins and needles waiting for you to review the surface duo 2. It sounds like the pen and digitizer got way better
I saw a video of a dude comparing the Microsoft X pen to the older pens on this thing. The new flat pen seemed to jitter less than the regular pens. I would recommend checking that if you still have that stylus.

Laptop for animation definitely
For real production and all that, get a PC. Bigger monitor for UI and workflow, more power, silent, upgradeable, less temperature issues.

Damn Microsoft was not meant to create phones 🤦♂️
To be honest I am surprised to hear that the phone adapted to your life, and not the other way around. I can't remember a device that did that, because there is a learning curve.
The biggest drawback I find in 99% of the devices today is that they are not multi-use. Sure, a candybar design can be used as camera/videocamera, multimedia player and to an extent, reader and drawing board; but then you need a larger surface like a tablet, which you can't carry around so easily.
The foldable device fill that gap; you do not need 2 devices but one. And while companies are learning what works best, as they did with the candybar form factor and its variants, the same will happen with foldable devices. As far as the duo; put on it a better camera, give time to MS to clean up the bugs and to Google to make a better OS aimed at that, and wait for developers to make apps that use the 2 screen setup and your life will adapt to it, like you did with the other devices before this, without even think about it.
After all, take the original iphone, remove the software and what is left is a tiny touch screen phone; Apple played that smart by getting the software and the 3rd party apps right at launch, while MS is testing the water to see if they should go 2 screens or foldable probably, so the software out there is poor at the moment, and that is the reason why people are not going crazy and line up to get a duo.
So the only hope for this software is the promise from a company that has released for so long time buggy updates to their main product? I guess throwing $1400 to some multi billion company is some kind of weird trend I can't understand...
