- Surface folded duo is 17.2 cm taller with similar with and thickness to a Passport.
So unfolded like 2 Passports together but taller.09-03-20 01:11 PMLike 0 - Just do a rough outline side by side on a piece of paper for both devices using the dimensions given on GSMArena. You will find that when the Surface Duo is in the closed position it will still be quite a bit larger, in particular, taller. It is only very slightly wider (about 3 mm).Mirko935 likes this.09-03-20 01:32 PMLike 1

- Nice tool, but it would be better, if the Duo was in landscape mode., and closed. I am just trying to visualize what the 1.7cm or 17mm is really like. Unbox Therapy or MKBHD on Youtube probably have the two devices...

To me the Duo, is so far, the zenith of what a foldable device should be. I am anxious to check one out at Best Buy. In addition all the initial thoughts are of exceptional build quality and feel in the hand. So al least true to the Surface line so far.chain13 likes this.09-04-20 11:53 AMLike 1 - Looks like the Surface Duo successor will at least feature 5G, I hope that means it will at least have a Snapdragon865+ and larger battery
Surface Duo successor will likely catch up to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in a key department
https://www.phonearena.com/news/surf...ealed_id126966
Hopefully they will make the battery at least 4500mah to.
Much like the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 2, I think the successor to the Duo will be the one to go for.
YouTubers still not allowed to publish their reviews on the current Duo due to the embargo, very odd. I am most interested to hear what the battery life is like when using both screens versus using one screen.09-05-20 02:37 AMLike 0 -

- Great form factor multitasking...sometimes
- Most apps are not optimised for this
- Lag
Uggh, Microsoft, why!?
The problem is that some of these themes may not ever go away, as we have seen with android tablets, app optimisation is something most Android app developers are allergic to if it’s not an android phone.
As for the lag, completely expected, Snapdragon 855 with 6GB RAM on a device that is supposed to be a multitasking beast is kind of a joke now that I think about it, they should have at least given this thing 12GB RAM if they wanted to cheap out on the SoC.
I have watched 4 reviews and I am truly disappointed, even more so than I thought I would be, $1400 for this!?
I hope Microsoft are investing big on virtual roadshows of some sorts to enterprises with this thing because I cannot see it doing well outside of enterprise, and even then, with all these issues they need to convince people who are happily using solid Samsung Galaxys, iPhones, iPads etc... to switch to what is essentially a big Beta test with a horrible camera? Yikes.
Also when is it getting Android 11 I wonder?09-10-20 03:45 PMLike 0 - I’m busy watching all the reviews now and the theme seems to be:

Hopefully the Duo 2 fixes all of this, Microsoft has the resources to keep this whole thing going for years, but I hope they take it more seriously with the Duo 2.09-10-20 03:58 PMLike 0 - Much like the Surface X that I had a lot of hope for.... it's just not ready.
But big upgrade for book readers.Tsepz_GP and Laura Knotek like this.09-11-20 06:53 AMLike 2 -
The reviewer was frustrated and the growing issue here is that you have two giants in tech that are sort of/kind of working together and sort of kind of not 🤣
The reason I say the above is that I foresee the same issues that Samsung have had with Google happening with Microsoft and Google, forking Android to a point where Google is not happy and ultimately seeing a Apple vs Epic Games sort of situation (not quite the same I know) where the owner of the OS chooses to pull the rug from under them for not complying.
If Samsung, Google and MS can sit down and allow Samsung to make the hardware, Google bake in the features in Android and MS to focus on the productivity end of things along with Windows integration, these guys could obliterate Apple in a number of years and even end up commanding the Premium segment in smartphones and tablets, people are willing to pay top dollar for Microsoft products when they are worth it.09-11-20 03:08 PMLike 0 - After watching the review below, my thoughts are that this is Samsung, Microsoft and Google’s opportunity to collaborate on Mobile fully, bring Windows and Android together in some way, they could easily take this concept as of the Duo and make one hell of a device with the Duo 2

For the price tho they had little room for error with the software and camera and of course the reviewers like Mr. Mobile and all the others were left frustrated until the update that normal users devices will ship with.
The concept and idea of different apps on screens (like working with dual monitors) has me pretty stoked for future iterations or even this one when ironed out and at a big discount. The hardware is unmatched.09-11-20 03:54 PMLike 0
