I still use my Duo 2 because it's still the most exciting phone on the market. It's my daily driver. I also have a Fold 3 and I often leave it at home. I realize that it's probably the last phone I buy because how can you go back to 1 screen? I don't care how big it is or how it folds. It doesn't beat 2 screens. When people see my Duo2 they go crazy! Minds are blown and it's always a great conversation. When sales people from mobile phones companies stop me in the mall or the store and try to sell me a phone upgrade, I always say, "You don't have anything better e r than my phone. Trust me." They are always ready to show me the latest whatever until I pull the Duo 2 out with the charging case holding the slim pen. They always say, "What is that?" I BELIEVE THIS IS THE REAL REASON THAT THE DEVICE FAILED. PEOPLE DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT. I just really wish they continued the Duo. I would definitely buy a 3 day 1. #Duo4Life

My Duo 2 is my daily driver for work. My service provider offers anti-virus so I'm planning to use mine until I can't anymore. It's an ESSENTIAL device for what I need with my job and the multitasking for me is bar none. Not sure what I'd ever do without it. Thanks for always checking back in with the Duo fans.

Wish it was flat like duo 1

Im still married to my Duo 2 for military use and the Remote Desktop app. We use Nautilus Virtual Desktop for a lot of our work, and when I tried a splitscreen, multi-app view on the ZFold, it would always make the Remote Desktop wonky and virtually unusable. Dual screen is simply unmatched on the Duo.

I started looking for something with a bigger screen for productivity and remote desktop on the go. I was running a pixel 6 and started looking for a full windows 11 phone/tablet. I got a duo 1 new for $300. After a week of use I am absolutely astonished at the workhorse the duo is. I cannot believe just how amazing it is for work. I'm going to flash a dual boot onto this beast. I know it's aging but my god for what it does well there is nothing like it. 3 years late to the party but I feel it might be the best work "phone" I've ever had.

Same here I’m blowed away (having a 15 pro max lol ) this one is just crazy every time I open it I’m just waw

That video was just incredible, Shane 🥳 Thank you very much for the shout out ❤ . Would be super cool if you do the other polls 🎉. For me the Duo still is a very worthwhile device. With Android 14 it feels reasonably safe to use, and from a sustainability point of view it would be a shame to dump t it already. My plan is to keep it at least until this fall and reevaluate the situation then

Thanks for the shout-out! I would agree that there is nothing wrong with the Duo 2 until the security updates stop. I'd love to get a zfold, OnePlus open, or even a pixel fold, but as long as the Duo 2 is still viable i don't have a good enough excuse to get anything.

Yea hang on to it, I only bought a Pixel Fold because my fingerprint scanner stopped working on my Duo 2. While I do like the size and shape of the Pixel Fold along with the much better cameras, the multitasking experience is abysmal compared to the Duo, which is why I buy folding phones in the first place. I only decided to keep the Fold with the anticipation that they would roll out App Pairs shortly after launch, but here we are, 7 months later, still no App pairs and no idea of when or if we'll ever get them.

I'm rocking the fold 5 and I just located my duo 1. Not thinking I'd be switching the sim in it.

I do have a bumper on my bumpless SD2 😂 thanks for the shout out Shane!

Late to the party ... grabbed a Duo1 on Woot in Nov 2023 and love it. I follow the premier phone trend just a few years late. :)

Great video as always. When I found your channel I was a Duo user looking for Duo content. I have since moved to the Pixel Fold, which I love. But like you I am surprised that there are so many folks still using it as their primary device.

I've had my duo for a year now. I gave my zfold 4 to my son and use the duo as my only daily driver and neither the pixel, open, or z fold has made me want to switch. Got it for $214 brand new unlocked and it's been one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Nothing on the market that interests me enough to stop using my Duo2.

I used the SD1 from May 2022 to December 2023 and I love this device. I've always dreamed of a Surface Phone, and I've lived to see it. When the opportunity arose, I bought the SD2, which is a decent upgrade. Camera better, pen cover, 90hz, faster performance, I'm satisfied. But I honestly prefer SD1 bumpers than SD2 bumpers the grip on first one was way better. However, LOL I still miss the SD1 probably because it could be folded 360 degrees. I will never ever go back to single screen device!. I will be using SD2 until it dies but still have hope for SD3.

Love this! I am not a *frequent* commenter, but if I still had my Duo (sadly, it's since been broken) - I'd be a Duo commenter! Still my favorite phone! Wish I could be using a Duo 3,...or 4 :) I really enjoy your videos - the ability to capture the "big picture", and dive deep into the details & advanced features! Stay strong!

I was still using my duo 2 as a daily up until a week ago when I got the pixel fold renewed on Amazon for $825.00. it's basically what I wanted in the duo 3 albeit in a compact form factor. I carry my duo 2 in my truck in case I break my pixel fold.

I just brought the duo 1 in November. It is my secondary phone as my primary phone is the iPhone 15 pro max. I LOVE THIS PHONE. It’s too glitchy to by my primary deceive. However, I have turned it into a souped up DS. I also use it for school as a mini tablet when I’m on the go. I haven’t tried it yet for kindle but that seems like a great idea.

Ooh...how did I miss this? Still daily driving my Surface Duo for the past 2.5 yrs...still amazes and impresses everyone that sees it, and no one has ever heard of it. Still performs great, although I did crack one of the screens about 6 months ago (my bumper only lasted about a year). Just this morning I used a Citrix VDI on one screen while on a Teams chat on the other screen to resolve a work issue while I was traveling and didn't feel like getting the laptop out. Absolutely love it as much or more now than I ever did, and am on the lookout to buy another one due to the cracked screen.

Just watched. I still use my Duo as a secondary device but not as phone. It is locked to AT&T and I tried to get it unlocked but failed. I am on another network, but I use it for email, content consumption, taking notes and internet research. Love the dual screen and wish I would have gotten the 256 gig version when I had the chance. Still rocking 128 gig and would like to get Duo 2 but at a reasonable price. Thanks for the video.

I am still using Surface Duo. This replaces my iPad as this is sufficient screen asset to read posts/emails/web pages before my bedtime.

My Duo 1 is in mint condition. I seldom carry it together with my iPhone SE 3rd Gen - the iPhone is my go-to on-the-go comms device. I use my iPhone for calls, short Apple Mail, texts, contacts, calendar, Notes, Find My & Air Tags, camera, FaceTime / quick checks of banks & cards, Apple Card & Apple Pay, Reminders, / as well as iCloud, Podcasts, Audible, Apple Music, health portals, and connecting CarPlay (with Maps) on a dash-mounted iPad Mini to the internet via Hotspot. I use my Surface Duo 1st gen with the Surface Pen for OneNote, drawing. shopping, reading web sites, syncing iCloud & Calendar & Contacts, working with other cloud drives, books, reading user manuals & guides, longer Apple Mail, watching KZread & Sling, remote terminal emulation, Google apps & maps, games, multitasking, AI, and anything where a bigger or dual screen would make life easier - such as moving stuff between cloud drives. PS - I preordered a Rabbit R1 and god only knows how _that_ will change usage patterns.🤪

My OG Duo has my second SIM in it. It is my ebook reader, my multi-tasking go to device, a fun Nintendo DS emulator and all round productivity device. The other folding devices need an option to default to split screen just like the Duo. Maybe one day.

I still rock a Duo 1 as my secondary carry-along (Shane’s videos doomed me haha), love using it for Microsoft apps at work since they’re all pretty Duo-optimized. The usual party tricks like tent mode and multitasking are still quite useful to me. I’m surprised how many of the gimmicks of this thing held up over time.

I still keep Duo 2 as a back-up device, updating apps and refreshing the company profile and I experiment with Duo 1 Android 14 port 😊 So still using it occassionally and if there is a successor, I would go to it immediately...

I'm still using my Duo 2 as a dailly device after a year and a half, the main reason is that i don't like to be changing phones every year, and i don't have the money to replace it right now, and if I had it, there'e no good reason to leave it behind (Even with a little burn-in screen) Just one question to you Shane, how many times a day do you charge yor SD2??? Because I need to charge mine twice a day to make it to the night, I'm currently looking for a battery replacement but I'm not sure if all SD2 are like mine or if I already killed my batteries

It is still my secondary phone. I don’t use it for calls or messaging, but it’s great for simple multitasking, like having the Outlook calendar and e-mails open at the same time. I also use it for watching KZread, and it is the best device for reading thanks to the Kindle app. I tried the Z Fold 4 but did not like the form factor at all, so I’ll keep my Duo 2 for as long as it’s working.

I typically use my Duo 2 as my ADT hub, while at home. It also works well for bible study and multitasking on Edge browser.

Awesome video Shane. Thanks for doing this!

I recently bought the surface duo 1 (thanks for the recommendation Shane), i have had it 2 times before, sold it and keep coming back to it. it was 300 so next to nothing, I mostly use it as an ereader and note taking device with the pen. it's fantastic for that purpose. it's not my primary device (that's my pixel fold) but still happy with it

Dropped my duo (og) in the Dubai floods a few months ago.. bought a mi 13pro and man I am lost, it's like only using one hand, I miss the duo soo much .. up untill last week , when I bit the bullet and bought a brand new duo 2. (And another as a spare). I can't wait to get my Sim back in the duo..🎉❤

Missed the survey but yeah duo 1 still in use. It is my main device since the 275 at&t locked sale. It has a bunch of negatives but since I'm back in school it's great and half the school days I leave my laptop home and duo screens handle what I need. Watching KZread and reading are also an extra big plus.

I’m still using a Duo 1 as my work phone. Integrates nicely with my Windows laptop with Phone Link and Microsoft 365 apps.

I found your channel when I first got my surface duo 2 but now I'm rocking the oneplus open, no complains here. I value the one handness if that's a word

Recently switched to the z fold 5 and put my duo 1 back in the box and put up. Not sure if I will continue to use it but I like having it

Okay, so I don't REGRET selling my Duo 2 for a Galaxy Fold 5... But GOD I miss it. Your videos got me into Duo. You're the reason I got one. But the multitasking is missed. Sure I can split screen on my Fold, but it's just not the same as having 2 separate screens. It does something to your brain (I believe you covered this in an earlier video). But I don't miss the bugs it had which were off and on. Spent £1,400 ish in Feb 2022 for it. Sold it for £550 a few months ago 😭😅

missed the poll, but I would still be using my Duo 1 if it didn't take a dive out of the back of my SUV. Back screen is cracked pretty bad and even with a screen protector holding glass in place, i can still feel it moving and crumbs of glass continue to fall out of it. However, every once in a while, I pull it out and go through the grief cycle all over again, ha! I would pull the trigger on a Duo 3 today if it was available. Thanks for always covering the device!

I'm rocking my Surface Duo 2 as a secondary device just because of the thinness and the dual screen. I'm Tommy Two Phones and I used to carry a tablet that I hardly used, so the Duo 2 just comes in handy for me and the battery life isn't bad either.

Been binging your duo videos as I'm planning to get one for reading note taking and viewfinder for my dji pocket and action.

Mine will remain my primary device. Mainly I read on it, both books and websites. Also use it for maps, transit, and navigation while walking. I just don't talk on the phone much. When I do, I use a headset. For visual media I prefer a desktop with a larger display.

Hi, I great videos, thnx. Last Friday (19/01) switched my Duo 1 to 2 as main device. I use it daily, with slim pen 2 tips and headphones. Too much bad they discontinued the serie.

I love my Duo 1, but it´s now left in my drawer because I bought a Z Fold 5 and Its more useful for me. My second carry along is always an iPhone (in this case, iPhone 15 Pro Max for pictures and video recording). I really don´t know if I keep my Duo for Nintendo 3DS emulation or sell it...Here in Brazil it´s possible to sell an used Duo 1 for about USD 700

I bought my Duo 1 (ATT, Locked) for about $400. I use it daily as a media consumption device instead of a small tablet. The dual screen experience is unbeatable. Makes a great Kindle reader. I have app groups set up to bring up mail (Yahoo & GMail), social media (Facebook & Instagram), shopping (Ebay & Amazon). Tent mode is great for watching KZread videos. Don't think I could ever go back to a straight tablet. I am still holding out hope for a dual screen tablet device (i.e. WiFi only) that has a bigger form factor ala Surface Neo.

My Duo 2 is still in almost perfect condition and has been used daily since new as my primary device. Actually looking to get another new unit as a backup. I don't see any handset available or planned that I want from any manufacturers. I wish there was a Duo 3 coming as I'd buy it tomorrow.

I just painfully switched to the pixel fold from duo 2. Love the fold and it's nice having a usable camera but I truly miss the multitasking of duo. Many of times I watched videos and took notes or notes and a web page. But I couldn't trust my duo, my screen kept blacking out, never knowing if/when it will come back on. The power button died but thankfully the finger print still works, and the top speaker died a long time ago so speaker phone calls only was getting old. I still carry the duo 2, I love it for editing photos, book reading, and a backup if I somehow break the pixel fold. If there is a duo 3 to follow at some point even a folding screen if it still works like duo 2 I'm only for it.

I had the same issue with my duo 2 screens blacking out sometimes for a half hour. Just wasn't reliable anymore

I use my Duo 2 as my daily driver. I did leave it for a short while due to a super buggy update (it was shutting down every 5 minutes, for a work phone that's terrible). So I keep that Pixel 7 in my bag up to date ready for my Sim if another issue arises. It is my absolute favorite form factor for a phone, there are downsides for sure but not enough to get me to leave. Also just using stock android 12L

Still using my duo 1 with my second sim. Productivity use cases with the slim pen. Also for my video production as the teleprompter device. Even has use for recording audio for videos.

I'm still using SD2 as daily driver. The hinge at the top recently is wonky but still works so I'm still using it. Once the hinge completely gives up, I might go back to one of my partially broken LG V60 phones(have 2, both have cracked rear glass and I have 2 dual screen cases one with a broken hinge, the other still good). I might consider buying a replacement Surface Duo 2, but might also get a OnePlus Open. I don't really have any interest in the Google Pixel Fold, the bezels while similar to SD2, compared to the OnePlus device are really apparent and feel outdated.

My SD1 still the main daily driver since bought it last July, tethered to my lumia950 for data due to ATT locked. This means both phones are slim profile, good combo and very good for out and about. As work (Ms apps works great) and personal phone, kept my things done. Planing to keep it that way until things break, hope not.

On my second duo 2, crushed my first one, have picked up both second hand here in uk, top condition £280, love it and if i need to would get another.

Got a good deal on a used Duo 2 a few weeks ago and it's my daily driver. Only true real world compromise for me is the camera performance. Other than that for what I paid its worth it for me. Still have faith there will be a 3rd iteration of suraface duo. Hoping it's a full screen foldable with flagship cameras and potentially some kind of waterproofing.

I switched to a Pixel Fold about 4 months ago... I still very much miss my Surface Duo 2. The multitasking was top tier, and Folds lack of it drives me crazy. But my Duo was starting to get out of sync for the hinge and it was dying soon... glad I was able to trade it for 800 while I could.

Got my Honor Magic V2. A week into it, I still have severance symptoms from my Duo 1. The Magic V2 is... wow. But will I make the transition?

Man, just when I thought I shouldn't buy a Duo 2 I see this video. I really want a note taking device, but I'm not sure if a Duo 2 or a Surface Pro would be ideal. I definitely don't want it to be too cramped so I'm thinking a Pro would be ideal, but I love the idea of having a note taking device fit into my pocket. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video!

use mine for taking notes and studying as a secondary device. Thats where it shines. Can't wait for the foldable tablets to step in to the market

Still one of my favorite devices even though I’ve owned zfold 3,4,5 and pixelfold. Yes this video is for very specific people like me. 😂

Just bought a Surface Duo 2. Love it. No plans to change device and I'll keep it as long as I can.

I moved away a few months ago as my duo 1 just started doing strange things and could not find a duo 2 anywhere. I have now moved to a razor 2022 because I did not want to pay thousand's for a folding phone size of the duo. My take is I miss my duo and it has changed my usage of phone (using less) and use my surface alot more. I do use the camera on my razor more though. Great to see people still using the duo and still have hope Microsoft does another duo down the line.

I still use my duo, and love it! Use it every day mainly as a "multi-tasking productivitity tablet" and of course emulation.

My Duo 2 Turned off in April and never came back on... The Flash Storage went bad, based on the screen it was stuck on for a couple hours; Bootloader/Recovery with write errors. 😢 Would possibly still be using it otherwise. Used a Pixel 7 for the Gap to the Pixel Fold Day 1 Arrival.

I'm still using both DUOs. D2 has the simm, D1 is used to cast to my TV and use it as a computer with my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard

Mine is in the closet gathering dust. If I had switched to a regular phone then it would remain my home (tablet) device. But the OnePlus Open is doing a reasonable job due to its gesture to select a second app from the launcher. Not as seamless as on Duo's multitasking but good enough for me to leave the Duo in the past.

Shane, I am not using my Surface Duo 1. I loved it a bunch, but the ONLY reason I am not using it is because the Android OS does not do MMS very well with Apple devices. If it would support compatible texting, I would keep using it. I would love to start using it again. Do you know of any clandestine apps for the Android OS that talk to Apple's MMS? Thanks, Marc

Still carry Duo 1 daily, as my primary mobile device, but I have also never really used the stock launcher and keyboard, which mitigated all of the glitches from day one. Replaced the launcher with a "Windows Phone" style launcher within the first two hours and the stock keyboard within the first week as it did not meet my needs. This all was within the first 30 days of owning it, while it was connected to wi-fi only, before adding a sim and going all in on the device. It still meets all my productivity needs, which is why it was purchased. If it had not lived up to my expectations in that first 30 days on wi-fi, I would have returned it, but it still does everything as intended. It is a shame Microsoft abandoned the project and everyone that purchased a device from them.

I wasnt in the poll but I still use my Duo 1 as my only phone. I wish there would be a Duo 3 but I also wish it would be separate screens like 1 and 2. Probably won't happen and eventually I will look into one of the other foldables. But I really see no reason to switch now.

Thanks for what you do!

Still use my Duo 2 for 85% of my work. It's my primary work device. I stii get complements every day

BECAUSE OF YOU I BOUGHT A SURFACE DUO 1 LAST WEEK AND MAKE IT MY DAILY DRIVER.... ITS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PHONE IVE EVER HAD. I ALSO BOUGHT THE MGX NACON CONTROLLER.... I WILL FORGIVE EVERY LAG AND CRASH TO THIS PHONE.... JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS SO AWESOME IN MY HANDS.... IM SO IN LOVE....❤

I hotspot mine with my main phone and use it as an android auto for my old car with vivid car launcher and as an emulator for retro games to play on the go, also an e-reader. I would also like a video on how to increase my battery life on my duo and what setting to turn off.

Still daily driving the Duo 2. If I could afford it right now though I would get the OnePlus Open. I dropped my Duo while putting up Christmas lights in December. I now live with a shattered right screen that I have to hold at different angles to see it clearly.

I bought a Pixel Fold, but I still miss my duo1 and 2

I primarily use it for retro gaming due to its aspect ratio. But lately I been using it more and more for media consumption and general use.

Just picked up Duo 1 yesterday. Loooooove it

I am not buying another folding phone until the prices come down. My Surface Duo in Glacier White is still my daily and I use it for work and to make sure it stays secure I have Norton 360 on it to protect it and myself. I tried getting a used Surface Duo and changed my mind and new ones unopened box have been raised to CRAZY inflated prices. I will take the sim out at some point use the Duo as a tablet and I am pretty close to purchasing a Redmagic 9 Pro and pay $649.00 as I paid for my Surface Duo $600.00 so a $49.00 mark up is all I am willing to pay. Oh I forgot I just bought a Lincoln MKS 2011 and it has Microsoft Sync and it works seamlessly with my DUO another reason why I can't separate from my Surface Duo.

I am still using it as my main device that is always with me. love it. ( duo 2) , I have a google Pixel 6 pro, but can't go back to a single screen.

Duo 2 is my main driver and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Not enamored by the current crop of foldables. I would buy a Duo 3 on day one!

I'm still using my Duo 2 as my main and only mobile phone. I dropped it too many times and now the usb-c cable won't firmly attach so I have to delicately push it in and not move it for it to properly charge. I'm contemplating getting a Galaxy S24+ but, man, I will sure hate losing my dual screen.

Still using Duo 2 as primary phone. In fact, I had to file an extended warranty claim after Xmas. MS sent me a new replacement, to my surprise. I am probably set for another year or two.

I didn't even see the poll! I only paid about $350 usd for it in 2023. It is really quirky but useful as a reader and secondary device. I have a dual SIM phone with a better camera.

mee too :) still works, still the same resons to do so

Not only have I exclusively dailyed my Duo 2 since pretty much day one to this day. A few months back I dropped it and broke the internal gearing to the top hinge. In a panic bought a second one off ebay and completely happy to have it as they did NOT use it and it was only a home device. Had the stock bumpers and a skin on it too. With the very recent news as phone companies adding ai to new phone and raming ai down your throat weather you like it or not I absolutely WELCOME a second duo 2...

Absolutely the best phone ever. Wish Microsoft can come out with a duo 3 or create a new phone with similar form factor. I've used iPhone 14, Galaxy s23 Ultra and duo 2. While galaxy and iPhone are less cumbersome to use to make phone calls, i prefer use of duo 2 for reading, scrolling, emails and everything else which is what i mostly use any phone for. Most other phones are all the same and boring. I love the width of each screen.Its like having a mini computer that's phone size.

Never had one but been trying to find one locally for a good price. Would love to have a Pixel Fold but just so expensive

I am still using my surface duo every day it's my only phone. I have not decided what I will replace it with. Pixel fold is what might be my next phone but only once second version comes out as so I can buy the first. I always buy it once the price drops. 😊

I still use my Duo 2 but I don’t use it as a phone as much anymore. I hope Duo comes out with the 3 some day. I got the iPhone 15 pro max and regret that decision waiting for the fold 6 so I can move off this phone.

I have one in my drawer. It's a phone I often find myself having an itch for. I'll continue to use it past it's phone lifetime. Surface Duo 1 here.

Was Tempted to buy one this week, but missed out.

I never stop using my duo one. It is still my go to phone. If I can find a duo2 at a reasonable price I would buy one as well.

I really wanted one but couldn't find one to buy for a reasonable price

Yeah I use that all day long and still love it. It kinda does what others cannot, which is a bliss.

I didn't vote in your survey Shane but I daily drive an SD2. I bought an OG SD just to have one. Folding phones (with 1 bendable screen inside) hold absolutely no appeal for me. I will daily drive my SD2 until it no longer functions and then go back to the top of the line Samsung Galaxy phone. I can afford to get a new phone, I just don't want to leave my two screen device. When my SD2 no longer functions, I will use the OG SD as a secondary device with my Galaxy for taking notes in One Note. I was a die hard Windows Phone user as well.

7:00 nice that bump was dumb !

I still use my duo 2 as my daily primary and rate it as the best phone I've ever owned. I still get people asking me about it and enquiring where they can buy one (I tell them they can't). The twin screen format is so useful to have apps ruining side to side and it really is a mini laptop in your pocket. I'm waiting for a duo 3

I would've probably still had my SD1 if it, and the replacement, hadn't snapped at the lower hinge from the plastic housing it's connected to after almost a year and half each due to use, it's so thin there! Finally jumped on the SD2 out of necessity and its much more durable and hell of lot less buggy, still my daily driver!

I got a duo 1 for like $300 late 2022 and loved it but verizon gave me $800 for it when the s23 ultra dropped so its gone but i do miss it.

Blackberry phones were removed from all US service providers and the phones are now useless. I was wondering how long will the surface duo last, since it won't receive any more updates?

Just bought used duo original and it's growing on me. It's my spare phone I was using a pixel 6. My main phone is iPhone 14

I love my Surface Duo!. It's my daily and I just got my second one- I dropped the first one. It's amazing. Microsoft should just keep the same form factor(not the duo 2) and just upgrade the specs. Bought both for 234$ each. brand new.

Just bought a duo 1 last week. Not an amazing experience but enjoyable. Very tired of boring slate style phones. We need innovation. Bring back the Sidekick!

Still Using Duo 2 as my daily driver. Would have been great if they truly made it an experimental device and tried updating the device with all crazy and wacky ideas. Unfortunately some simple things never improved such as the camera app, Swiftkey never received pen support, seems like some Microsoft apps are made to suit the form factor and most are not, etc

I used my Duo 1 and upgraded to Duo 2 when it came out. Both were my daily driver and still using Duo 2 as my daily driver, would get the Duo 3 if they were to make one.

If it had a front screen it would be quite interesting option to pick up. Maybe duo 3.

I'm still using mine, but likely switching to a Samsung soon as the back glass is broken and has poked the back side of the screen resulting in damage, and of course, no replacement parts for the $2000 piece of "premium" equipment that has been buggy and frustrating, still like the concept, but rear glass panels on phones as a concept needs to die, there are many more materials that are far less fragile. The battery on my duo2 is also degrading, as much as I didn't want to admit it, I paid a ton for a half baked prototype.
