Still have my 1 and still love it

I appreciate you doing these type of videos where you give these older devices some flowers in 2024! I would love to see you do a ranking video of your favorite phones of all time. Peace!

I still have my SD1 and loved it when I could use it. I now have a Fold 5 but for multitasking, the SD is so much easier.

Watching on my Microsoft surface duo and the screen is still crisp and bright. The only thing that let it down, was the camera. 😊

The Duo 2 almost completely overcomes the camera limitations of the OG Duo. I use a Gcam port on my Duo 2 and the pics/vids are very solid quality. If you can get your hands on a well-used Duo 2, I would recommend it.

Just bought my 2nd Duo 2 yesterday. I love swapping between pixel fold/OnePlus open from time to time.

Thank you for this nice review👍. Just bought one....greetings from The Netherlands🇳🇱

Good to see you still doing well. I haven’t seen your vids in so long. Algorithm 🤦🏾‍♂️.

I can’t believe it’s 4 years already

Time don’t forgive

I still have mine.

And; as of a few days ago, you no longer have to have an older build of the Xbox app in order for console streaming to work. Meaning us non-Gamepass people can FINALLY just play whatever local Xbox One/Series game on our Surface Duo, complete with the bottom screen controller. This hasn't been possible until just recently. I'm super glad to still have my Duo in 2024 just to see that.

I'm still rocking my original surface duo, however as my companion device mostly for media, browsing (internet, ebay, Amazon), email. I also install the GCam app, camera outcome far much better.

I still think of switching back to my Duo 2 from my Pixel Fold from time to time.

Taking notes in One Note on the Duo is a better experience than note taking on the S24 Ultra

I really want one of these!

Go for it, no regrets. It's perfect for home use, but if you plan to use it as a daily driver or care about taking photos with it, go for the SD2 instead.

Definitely a second phone for fun and home use. I'll keep an eye out for deals!

I have both Duo 1 and Duo2. I always keep my second sim in one or the other. I still love it and i agree it is the best productivity device ever. I dont think people ever really understood the fact that it wasnt supposed to be a foldable. It was a dual screen device. Think of dual monitors instead of an ultra wide monitor

Been holding out to get a Duo 2 at a good price as a 5G ereader.

I am considering picking one up, recently got into stock trading and need a dual screen phone for cheap.. This fits the bill..

Custom OS 12L and about $1600 for 256 gb. 128gb about $1400 also i just got my att Verson Unlock in april I had to have this phone on service for 6 months and nagged att once ever month att did send the unlock code but only way now to get it unlocked is to have ad or activate service on att. thanks for the video love-ya ..... still use this phone every day mounted in my car tunein radio on one screen and google maps on the other when i am driving :)

I always wanted one of these because I was a surface pro user and I was curious about the compatibility. But I opted to stay loyal to Samsung and bought swapped my Surface for a Galaxy book pro.

Ouch! I really needed a 3rd model. Also, I'd have liked some kind e-ink version, or an e-ink outer display.

Do u have any Lumia devices, would be nice for a throwback vid

I was using Duo 1 almost 2 years and last november (2023) i upgraded to Duo 2 and im enyoing every day. But i miss my Duo 1...

Nice video

I so much wanted it to run Windows.

There is a project to dual boot Arm Windows 11

Which keyboard do you use? Is that SwiftKey with a skin or Gboard?

I loved mine but it disintegrated 😢 I'm not sure how. I'm not rough on my devices. Yesterday, the screens died and I have to switch. I'm devastated but will reluctantly move on to either to Pixel Fold or the Oneplus Open. I'm liking the Pixel Fold's aspect ratio because of all things, it reminds me most of the SurfaceDuo. Microsoft really had something special with this device.

The hardware is top tier. Honestly, if Blackberry was still around, this would have been the perfect form factor for them. Overall, this is still the best design for a folding phone.

Wow! It doesn't seem like it's been 4 years.

I gave it a try its bulky its has sharp edges when you grab it software still has glitches the camera is not bad but the way you access the camera is painful turn it around and tap i would tell people to pass on it

J., I simply don't understand your aversion to the Duo 2's camera bump. It's effectively the same as the bumper case on the OG Duo. In fact, the bumper case was a trial run for Microsoft to see if a camera bump would work for subsequent generations. Using & liking the OG Duo w/ bumper case is the same as using the Duo 2.

I had a Microsoft phone prior. Then got the LG V60 instead of the device you hold now.

Not to mention.........It makes for the best Nintendo DS!

The problem is that the phone looks unaesthetically pleasing for the 1500 dollar price point

It's obvious that Microsoft made another blunder when they failed to develop the Duo. Was it just that their eye was on Azur and profits in the short term or was it another real blunder akin to dropping Windows Phone

Microsoft always gives up too soon.
