Probably the best phone for using a DS emulator

[@Vi0ar]

EVERYONE says this but emulators arents going to be optimized for that. They are made for normal one screen phones. So unless you plan on making an emulator yourself you are going to get a far worse ds emulator.

I’m hyped for Gen 2 and 3 of this. I love the concept. Also I laughed because he showed the pictures and I thought they all looked fine. Lol

[@TriVoxel]

Same. They looked really good actually and audio on them wasn’t that bad either. I think some reviewers get so caught up on specs and industry trends that they forget that a 2 cm bezel doesn’t ruin people’s days and neither does having a camera that doesn’t look as good as the new RED 8K cameras. For me, I use my camera for taking pictures of my work schedules and the occasional 1-off picture of something neat. Just don’t understand why reviewers don’t realize we don’t care about some of those things.

[@hoofhearted4]

@@TriVoxel I couldnt care less about the camera. The argument for some of it though is the cost. But for Gen 1 you're paying for the R&D. Couple Gens down the road the price will either come down or the specs will come up. Preferably both.

Go out and get an actual AAA flashlight to go in your pocket. I paid $20 for mine and it has more than paid for itself. I use it literally every single day. It also has the benefit of being a flashlight that you can point at things instead of a floodlight to just get some light every where.

Everything you mentioned as being the only thing the camera would be good for are exactly what Marques said the the camera would be good for.

@@aaronstone6183 but it is still pretty funny speciallg cause the video is about that device😀

[@penart8079]

can someone explain to me how the device knows which screen you want to use. Is it due to the gyroscope?

[@Robd515]

I saw this for the first time at Best Buy yesterday before watching this video now. It’s actually really cool. Looking forward to next gen.

[@VictoriaWilder95]

You say ‘why is there even a flash’ but I can bet my bottom dollar that if there wasn’t a flash you’d be saying it was a setback for the device.

[@utsavlal9175]

True

[@DantevanGemert]

Does anybody take photos at night even? Night time smartphone photos always look bad, and the flash makes things look even worse. The only purpose of the flash is using it as a flashlight. EDIT: LG even disabled using the flash when taking photos in auto mode

[@demonlime4713]

@@DantevanGemert you gotta keep in mind this isn't a phone, it's more like a tablet with 2 screen and tell me how many tablets have good cameras (except for iPads maybe)

[@edriv3722]

LordLemon ipads have the worst cameras. Only the most recent model of the Pro have a good camera and I can't say much since I haven't tested yet.

At first, i was almost about to buy one, but after going through your review it made me think. Thanks for a good review

[@micro7vista]

I feel like everyone's review of this will be the same. "If you're the productivity guy, you'll love it! If you're anyone else... You're probably not going to like it." I'm the productivity guy so I'm really excited for the Duo but I see why lots of folks would be not into it.

[@gothamtyler]

Just get a note....

[@4evrwise]

Evidently you wasn't paying attention. The software hiccups? This thing cost $1400 and there is no way I would pay $1400 for this. I already had looked at the specs and seen it wasn't worth $1400. The thing is this is being sold as a phone. Example, there are people who have tablets whether Android or an IPad and those people are not really that concerned with how the pics look because they have an Android or IPhone with a good camera and uses it for photos anyways. But this is a phone and if the camera is garbage what's the use. Like I said if it was just a tablet then maybe but the software hiccups is still a no for me. Also it doesn't have enough ram for the multitasking. Samsung puts 12gb ram in their flagships and you don't hear people talking about their phones lagging any more.

[@stephen1r2]

@@gothamtyler This is for people who think the note is too small, but don't want to carry a tablet all the time.

LG has been doing this sort of thing for a while now...and they kept the headphone jack. LG is so underrated.

[@adamszigeti8542]

Yeah, I'm looking forward for their Lg Wing

Until they start pushing updates for last years TVs - fuck em

[@OneKnifeYeHand]

Same goes for the ZTE Axon M. But LG's update history is trash (and so is ZTE's).

[@aaronstone6183]

It ain't a smartphone if it doesn't have a headphone jack. period.

[@mohsen83]

hi, thanks for the video. Quick question. Just bought the duo today and unfortunately my favorite game "8 ball pool" by Miniclip won't fit the screen. It is too zoomed-in that I can't see the full screen. Is that an issue with the phone itself (Microsoft) or miniclip? Can you suggest how to fix this? Should i report this to miniclip, google play or microsoft? Thanks

[@shavaughnreid8063]

How does this integrate with a Windows desktop setup? Or is there any kind of Dex-like software?

[@wingstream]

As a surface duo buyer who doesn't take selfie's and also has a a thin standalone camera that goes with me everywhere, the camera/video aspects are basically nothing to me, so you got it. They know who it's for. Thank you for this unbiased review.

[@darkurious]

Thanks, Marques. After watching your review, I'm convinced MSFT didn't make this phone for the usual consumer. This is focused on enterprise customers. The camera is adequate for video calls and document scanning. The speakers are good for video calls. The two screens are for true work multitasking. Microsoft 365 is optimized and the price is high enough for businesses. We weren't meant to buy this to play Xbox Game Pass...only.

[@Gorilazz.]

Great overview, thanks. It's a business device: I don't care about camera and audio, but I'm surprised of the SW not well adapted yet...

how does the screenshot or screen record will do in this phone?
