How many flagship phones do you know, that went from $1,400 to just around $400 in such a short period of time?
But from a design standpoint, I have issues with it. It's thick, heavy, very narrow, and while its hinge could well be a technological marvel, it doesn't actually feel that great to fold and unfold. There's some resistance to it. Some occasional creaking.
But that's not really the case anymore, nearly 3 years down the road… Microsoft kept updating and updating this phone's software, improving it, and now, it's finally running Android 12L – the special edition for tablets and multi-screen devices!Room to focus with two screens. Open and view two apps at once or span one across both screens. Flexibility to do more. Choose your mode for the task at hand and tackle to-dos with dual-screen enhanced apps.
With that in mind, the Surface Duo is flatness galore – it features two ultra-thin, flat screens, held together by a metal hinge. On the topic of the design, if you're curious why I didn't buy the Surface Duo 2, but the first one – simple – because only the first one is flat. You can open it fully until the two screens' backs rest flat on each other without a camera bump messing things up.
Especially when web browsing, reading, or watching videos – 4:3 just feels bigger and better to me, and thankfully, both of the Surface Duo's screens are in that aspect ratio, as opposed to the widescreen aspect ratio that's prevalent in virtually all phones nowadays. Meanwhile the Surface Duo, with its two big screens and ultra-thin design easily lasts a day and extra. I guess I had very low expectations, but even so, I feel like this is quite impressive. For anyone curious, the Duo is powered by a 3577 mAh battery, which is actually not that bad, considering, again, how thin this thing is.Here's an interesting one.
I know a lot of people want to detox from their phones, and the closest thing you can get to this is to just learn to leave it upside down, so its waking screen won't bother you, but this is even better. So that's extremely disappointing for me. When I look at a device with two screens, I can't help but think"media consumption would be awesome on this" but alas. While the screens look beautiful, the audio is lackluster at best, so consuming content never feels as good as it should've been.Something else I've noticed, that I don't believe many others have, is that there is a so-called jelly scrolling screen effect.
However, sometimes you'll fingerprint-unlock the phone and the screens will just be frozen and unresponsive to your touches. Great!
