I am also a Duo 2 owner and I love it so far. If people want small sized Windows PCs, why isn't GPD as successful as they would be if this was true? Don't get me wrong, I also love GPD devices but I prefer something between 10-12" for mobile Windows.

[@Tiamorg]

The ones that like gpd products - buy them. And in "niche handheld/umpc" devices, gpd has a pretty good succes. You sure can't compare the number of people who will buy lenovo legion 5 for 1k usd and play games on high settings with people that will spend the same 1k usd for a umpc with "draws" that comes with small size. And i have the ms duo 1. Got it on high price cut, and i love the design as much as i hate the software.

[@me2olive]

Yeah, exactly this. The Dell Venue 8 was probably the best known 8" Windows tablet when it launched, but Dell don't sell anything that small now. Even Microsoft's own Surface Go's screen has grown from its initial 10". Full fat Windows apps just aren't designed for screens that small, hence we got touch-friendly UWP apps... which did the same things Android apps did only worse. Outside of specialist devices like the GPD or Steam Deck, I don't see small screened Windows devices making a comeback.

[@vladdx]

Does GPD offer 5G, or even 4G? If not, it's not really comparable.

[@Dare2Blink]

Jerry two things: you can easily leave the phone oppened in your pocket if you dont want to open it. Also outti g full fledged windows on a device this small is just no realistic for a couple of reasons. Firdt snd foremkst windows obviousky was not designed for screens this small and wiuld never be usable, notto mention all windkws programs that also were not designed for small screens. Therefore your proposition is a non starter. Microsoft would love to be able to their own software on a pocketable device that is what windows phone was for. Unfortunately lack of developer suport killed it. I am a surface duo 2 owner and i absolutely love it. It definitely does not have bugs like the first one had. I came from a candy phone android device straight to this and its awasome. Its exactly like the dual screen analogy you mentioned.

It still baffles me, that in times where being environmentally friendly, companies refuse to work on a 1-for-all solution. Samsung Dex comes close, but is still weighed down by Android, the same issue that the Surface Duo runs into. Apple's getting closer to perfecting the iPad as a 1-for-all solution, but even with that M1-chip in their Pro models, they still left out some features that would have made the iPad a fully fledged, smaller, lighter laptop. Pretty sure it is no coincidence. These companies still prefer we carry around 3 different systems with us, whilst trying to come across as caring for the environment.

I really like my Duo 2 so far, software oddities aside. The software bugs are nothing huge. I like that this is different, and the screen aspect ratio feels better than the ultra wide of most phones. That long, skinny brick design is getting old. I don't mind at all that the phone needs to open to answer. It auto answers if you flip the second screen all the way around. Being that it feels like a book, reading books or comics on this thing feels great. If there was one real criticism from me it is that the default Microsoft keyboard, which you basically have to use, leaves a bit to be desired and needs more customization options.

Windows Phone... didn't exactly go so well though. If Microsoft had stuck with Windows Mobile and made improvements maybe things would have been different, but now in 2021 it really doesn't make sense for Microsoft to have yet another crack at the phone market, in software terms. Remember, Android apps are coming to Windows 11 so you will get interoperability on that front. As for whether it would sell, the Dell Venue 8 was probably the best known 8" Windows tablet when it launched, but Dell don't sell anything that small now. Even Microsoft's own Surface Go's screen has grown from its initial 10". Full fat Windows apps just aren't designed for screens that small, hence we got touch-friendly UWP apps... which did the same things Android apps did only worse. Outside of specialist devices like the GPD or Steam Deck, I don't see small screened Windows devices making a comeback.

That last closing of the phone really got me, nice. Maybe there will be some windows ports for this phone? Who knows?

[@JerziTBoss]

MS has all the tools to make Windows work on ARM and on devices like these. Windows 10 on phones and Windows Phone 8 had a good things going for it but MS botched it and then dropped the ball with it. MS Office suite on Windows Phones was way behind Android and iOs apps and that's the first party app! Notifications were a nightmare on Windows phone devices and they never did work properly and settings on Widows Phone 8 was just menu with random items. It did get better with Windows 10 but a lot of phones were cut from support even if they had performance to support it. I do agree that MS Duo 2 is being held back by android since windows already has wonderful multiscreen support and yes the lack of outside screen makes that more like foldable tablet rather than foldable phone.

Agree with Jerrys comments here, Microsoft should never have shelved windows mobile. It is by far the best mobile operating system even by today's standard despite the fact they haven't worked on it for a while. Android and iOS use similar kernel design so they are kinda alike in ways. Windows wasn't and Microsoft had an amazing team during its time, best cameras, smooth phones even on 512mb ram and imo the best user interface for a phone, app tiles were so good and intuitive, None of this boring app icons bullshit. The app problem would have been solved now with their appstore solution that's just out for windows 11. Just port it into the mobile.

If Qualcomm can actually come out with a M1 competitor and Microsoft can manage to put into a Duo 3, I can't see why we can't have a windows 11 mobile Duo in the future. I'd upgrade to something like that.

Blaming Android for incompetence of Microsoft devs on this particular product is just gold 😂

[@alfredsoyemi6425]

I see his statement not so much as blaming Android, but stating the short comings of Android for any foldable mobile device in general. Think about it, why did Android started the development of 12L? They knew foldable will not be successful on current Android design. I think Android 12L is the beginning of robust Os design for foldables such OEM can just do HW, skin the Os, but let the Os do all the heavy lifting that will make foldable do good stuff and solve problems that single screen Phones can not do. All current foldable phone manufacturing are doing independent codes additions to show what foldable can do which might not help Android Os in terms of fragmentation. Let the Os direct and standardize the best use and features for foldables and OEM can add there own values and extras.

Yeah because it wasn't full powered Windows. He's talking about full Windows 11 that can run PC apps

Thing was, the ms phone didn't allow basic apps to run on the phone, like yt and all that.

Microsoft has a great track record at releasing a very innovative device, not committing, and loosing an absolute boat load of money.

I would definitely think about bying one of these if they managed to run Windows.

[@Akegata42]

I think this would be abysmal with Windows 11. It would however work perfectly well with Linux. Even Microsoft realizes Linux is a lot more usable when you don't have a huge amount of processing power and/or memory (or just want to run thing efficiently in general).

[@e.o9470]

Definitely android is holding it back. It would be much, much greater and more powerful if it ran windows. Specially now that windows 11 runs android applications by default.

[@aidanbrooks771]

IMO this is the best parts of that Royole flex phone and a regular phone, the extra area is nice for certain things like being able to play Clash of Clans and watching KZbin at the same time and the durability of regular glass over the tissue paper plastic is a nice touch as well

The Duo not having Windows as you mention, is the same as Google Phones not allowing HDMI to protect Chromebook sales, even though every chipset (minus Pixel 6) used in Nexus and Pixel phones supported HDMI out which Google disabled.
