[@nicholasmcdonough6835]

How are you enjoying the Dup so far? Having a major struggle on which one to purchase. Thanks.

[@MiloDC]

The Galaxy Fold Z can do the same thing. Set up a group app shortcut, and it opens both apps split screen. Also, the Duo is not 5G. I was all set to buy a Duo until a couple of days ago. Decided to go with the Z Fold 2 instead. Gonna pick mine up in a few days.

[@cafeine]

Spot on Lisa, seems like you are enjoying the Duo :). I believe that it would be very useful to do a comparison by opening side by side, pairs of apps that rely on heavy content and content that you want to see all at once because the details matter, like Outlook and Excel, etc. (instead of Gallery, KZbin, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger etc. where you don't care too much if the text is wrapped, the images/videos too small etc.) and show how much of the content you can actually read and use/interact with, in each device. Also it should show the steps to have the two apps open, stick them to each side and start using them. When comparing productivity gains for each device it is important to measure the actual usability, instead of just advertising that it supports multitasking. Because of the different screen aspect, I believe that Duo would win hands down.

[@vr3lo4kx7h]

[@TLH788]

@@TLH788 don't know if they are that far apart...don't have either but I believe we will see in a few months the + and - of each one in terms of build quality, software (perhaps after MS irons a lot of the bugs) and also durability (especially Fold's screen). In any case, it's always good to have alternatives.

[@Dare2Blink]

Thanks lisa for the amazing comparison. I´m confident that both form factors will survive well into the future with people that multitask and are actually productive on the go gravitating towards the Duo type device and people that just play games or watch media gravitating towards the fold type devices. For me its Duo all the way, I always try to multitask a lot no my current android phone and the Duo would be amazing. Unfortunately I have to wait for it to be released outside the US.

Been with the duo since launch, would highly recommend. Love it! Aspect ratios and multi tasking underrated!

[@OreKehStrah]

I decided to cancel my Fold 2 and bought the Duo and got it yesterday. So far I’m really enjoying it. The camera isn’t as bad as I expected. Id say it’s perfectly fine for normal use, and that’s even in comparison to other devices I use Luke the iPhone 11 Pro Max, Pixel 2, Z Flip, P30 Pro, etc. The software on the duo is a bit quirky but I’ve have not had any major issues with it Luke I’ve heard about in a lot of reviews. So far, i think that if you’re really interested in the Duo, go for it. It’s already fine for use IMO and will keep improving based on Microsoft’s track record

[@MrDdesmo]

I've had my Duo since the 10th. I was going to return it because I started seeing all the review headlines that were negative. I gave myself until now to decide, and I'm keeping it. The big selling point for me is the aspect ratio. I love it. Thank you for mentioning it. I don't think the difference it makes is coming out in the reviews.

Do you use it with the surface pen? Curious to know how it is. I like to draw and write on my note, but the bigger size screen on the duo looks great.

[@brie__xoxo]

I'm definitely intrigued by the Fold 2! Currently own the Note 9 for almost 2 years (was an Apple user before) and I think the Galaxy Fold phones are onto something! Like you said, they just need to improve the screen and include an S Pen at some stage.

[@TheSeeking2know]

Thanks Lisa. Your reviews are calm, well-thought-through, and informative. Best solo and comparative reviews of the Surface Duo on the Internet. My thoughts for the Surface Duo v.2: 1. 12GB RAM. Period. 2. A capable camera; even if they can't include multiple cameras the single one must give good pictures, including in low-light! 3. Shrink the top and bottom bezels significantly. 4. 3.5mm-to-USB C cable in the box.

[@ContinuumGaming]

My thoughts about your thoughts: 1. Would be nice, but I think 8 GB would be already fine enough. 6 is a little on the low side, BUT I am not sure if it is not even enough for now... nobody showed me that is is not enough. Everybody just says it on base of what they are used too in there mind. 2. The camera has a simple problem: Thinkness. If you want a better camera, it needs more space (optics are optics) and that is troublesome for that form factor. 3. Agreed... but it really is a very minor thing for me... 4. That is just 8.99 dollars on amazon... not really a deal breaker.

One of the most best comparing between Microsoft surface duo and galaxy z fold 2 .. great job 👏

[@yakuza01]

I think the Duo to do actual work, like if you are on the road and have to check and get things done while on a plane or train, so I can see some corporations purchase a few of these and giving it to some of their employees who have to travel quite a bit. In this scenario, the poor camera would make this a non-issue, unless your work involves photography but if that's the case, I would assume you would have a dedicated camera (or a separate smartphone) for that. The Z Fold seems like it's more for media consumption.

[@iseptimus]

yakuza01 I wouldn’t go that far. Add in Dex and work from it becomes even more flexible.

[@LinuxAndroid86]

Fold 2 does everything. Flagship phone. Duo has buggy software, giant bezels, crappy.camera and speakers, no NFC, old specs

[@lonewolfchua]

Great content Lisa. Always liked a different angle on the reviews

[@andyH_England]

The Duo is form over function, it is thin and light because they did not fit many features within. So it comes down to if you want a basic low-spec folding tablet or a high-spec proper phone come tablet substitute? If the price was right that may be a compromise you could make, but at $1400 plus taxes the Duo is a tough buy.

[@RoryVanucchi]

Good work. Duo interesting once bugs worked out

[@coopbasesolutions9257]

There are always bugs. They are working on. However, as much as this is MS phone, Android falls on Google. So, the latter need to do a lot to make Android more useful in dual screen mode.

Hello Lisa. I’ve always cleaned my phones with a little rubbing alcohol on a cloth. Even ore pandemic. Can I gently wipe the z2 inside screen with a little alcohol? Will that screen saver get messed up? Ty

[@choboutube]

I have a Note 9 and was actually going to skip another generation, but I have enough airmiles to redeem the Fold2, so I'm giving it a go. Otherwise what else could you do with airmiles these days? I really wanted to like the Duo ever since the tease last year (or more precisely, ever since the Courier) but as a a lack of any notification screen on the outside (I don't always wear a smartwatch) and the crappy cameras sort of precludes any serious interest. Plus as Lisa says, I'm not in the multitasking camp.

[@yasseralzahed6014]

you could keep it folded inside out so you'll always have a screen for notifications

[@choboutube]

@@yasseralzahed6014 Sure, but that would be slightly missing the point. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like the Duo and would have probably gone for it if it had a mini/ integrated pen like the Spen. I've never going to bring my surface pen out with me. I have the Yoga Book c930 and I never take the pen with me, unless I'm travelling overseas with it. Ironically, I chose the Fold2 without the pen (my first non-Note pen since the Note 2) because the other features it has seem quite compelling.

[@Ebbing88]

Yeah I also have the Note 9 and am reallly contemplating on either getting this one, or waiting one more year for the third generation. Wished it were waterproof and supporting dual sim cards. But it is very tempting to just hit the buy button😊

[@choboutube]

@@Ebbing88 Those additions would have been nice. I'm enjoying the Fold 2 but I definitely wouldn't pay for it, not even if it was the same price as the Note 20 ultra. It's nice to have the snapdragon for once (I'm in the Exynos zone) and getting 512G storage is nice too.

Definitely the Z Fold 2 over the Duo, no question. I'd been all set to buy a Duo for months, then I watched some more comprehensive reviews (try kzbin.info/www/bejne/aF6VdKSDftiIjdk and kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6nVdGmnqbJ4oKc) of both devices. It's no contest, the Z Fold 2 is the clear winner. Duo screens aren't flexible, it isn't wirelessly chargeable, it's often poorly responsive (try taking a photo, watch it take the picture two seconds after you tap the button), and it doesn't even support 5G. I'm a Microsoft fan boy, but the Samsung device eats its lunch. Looking forward to picking up a Z Fold 2 within a few days!

How many of them think that Microsoft should use clips from this video to make promotional videos of Surface Duo?? She has done such a good comparison against more costly gen2 Fold than anyone else. People who are deciding between Fold2 & Duo will surely go for the latter after watching this video. Great video as always, Lisa.

[@ronaldball9389]

The interesting thing is where I live the Fold 2 can be bought at a lower price than the Duo. I actually think the first generation fold is a better comparison with the Duo. People who are buying this product will probably buy both, they are niche devices for rich people. Really they are two different products trying to achieve two different things. You would get the device that serves your purposes of use best. Some people would like a foldable device that can turn into a tablet. While others may find having two screens for multitasking a better option. Horses for courses.

Both devices are unique visions on a specific answer in search of a problem. Fusing phone and tablet into one. I have the DUO, I see a ton of "Fold is the win" here in the comments that fundamentally don't get the DUO. MS needs to do more to market this, or show it off. If your primary desire is for media consumption/games - then the FOLD is better (albeit huge looking). If you want a great two-app screen, DUO is a game-changer...it is not primed for fullscreen video watching. I don't get why this is hard for people to understand. That said, I've plugged my DUO into a monitor and using a mouse and keyboard it is actually an excellent "desktop" like way to interact with the phone and the gap is actually gone on an external monitor.

It's not backlit like LCD, it's self emitting OLED, so no light bleeding through it. The problem is flickering at very high frequencies which can give headaches after a while, especially in the dark. Look it up on google. In the end it's better than LCD but still miles below a electronic ink screen.

Since seeing the Duo's capability, I realise its potential each day. for eg was discussing something with a friend and needed to search something and share it.

Duo is wack. Buggy software.

[@marschlionoalexander8498]

@@LinuxAndroid86 wack is very subjective. Software can be improved over time, unlike the hardware problems the first fold had. They had to reinvented the whole folding hinge, with the 2nd generation fold. I cannot wait to see what the 2nd or 3rd gen duo will bring.

@@marschlionoalexander8498 dont keep your hopes too high. Microsoft windows phones failed with no app support. What makes you think Microsoft will improve the software on the duo!! The specs are 2019 old. No NFC, no stereo speakers, no cover screen and Crappy camera. I don't see the duo having succee and selling millions of it.

@@marschlionoalexander8498 Samsung fixed the Fold. And now it's good. Samsung knows what is doing. Microsoft is experimenting with the duo

[@lorenzowashington5546]

For the spec to price ratio the duo is just not there yet. Next gen maybe.

[@jebaker2]

Great review/comparison. I would say the Fold is a pretty good multi-tasking device as well

[@mxbblife_mu]

5:18... Duo is better for multitasking because Z Fold 2 is too Narrow and not all apps work with Split Screen Mode.

I just bought the Microsoft Surface Duo and it's honestly the best phone I've ever had... Besides the camera.

[@Souzaphotos]

Nice comparison, always a great review from you.. I grabbed the Duo but I can't with that potato cam so sold it to a friend for what I bought it for and have the Fold 2 coming in tomorrow to replace my Fold 1.

[@shaye2k]

Besides the camera were there other things that you preferred with the fold?

[@mxbblife_mu]

The funny part about your decision is if you're just posting stuff to social media the better camera is not even going to matter because you can have a 9000 megapixel camera it will still look like a eight megapixel camera on Instagram LOL

[@johnsecret1318]

@@mxbblife_mu then it'll get worse on the duo ... lmao

[@mxbblife_mu]

@@johnsecret1318 More like the same... Instagram and Facebook want a Uniform resolution...Duo is already closer to that resolution... Posting a picture from a better camera phone it's just bringing the quality down to the Duo's level.
