New Surface Duo Patent Needs Context

[@MrLoipurz]

Sadly, this time I won't trust Microsoft ever again after how they treated Duo 2

[@SonicMan2007]

Me too. It's an outrage how they abandoned a phone that expensive in less than 2 years after its release. Honestly, with how much they're screwing Xbox up recently too, I'm this close to jump ship from everything Microsoft that I can.

[@27Binx72]

​​@@SonicMan2007 Been going back and forth on that for years now. 😩 I'd switch to Linux full time, but having to dig through forums to figure out how to fix things through terminals is genuinely just an annoying experience to me. I don't find it fun and I consider myself pretty nerdy with tech. I really loved my time with the steam deck, though. I didn't like the form factor enough to keep it, but steamos and subsequently, proton, are AWESOME. I really hope they improve and that's the future for Linux gaming. I don't dislike Linux, but the gatekeeping, smug attitudes of those with technical knowledge of how to use various distros, is a massive turn off. Rather than make more Linux users, most of them would rather make you feel like you're somehow inferior for using GUI. Absolutely trash behavior.

[@CarlMansell]

Yeah, we should have learned after windows phones. But we're suckers for nice hardware.

[@AtomicShrimp]

I really wish this format would come back (with a flagship-class camera config, ideally), because this is the only kind of folding phone I am interested in. I don't care that it's not one continuous screen when opened flat; I'd much rather have it this way, with durable glass screens, than all the other folding phones where the screen is vulnerable to basically everything harder than a marshmallow.

[@ArthropodSpidey]

Shane's hair went the way of Windows Mobile

[@zevahc3928]

The surface duo is why I started watching this channel. I wish someone would come up with something viable like it instead of the same old thing year after year.

[@Blessed372]

The real news story is the shave and the haircut.....looking good my friend

[@1horatius]

Still loving mine 1 and works flawlessly

[@hendrixdaemon7419]

MS just failed at marketing this product. I still use it and lots of adv over other phones that others don't realize. My car keys wont scratch it when it's in my pocket. Perfect for navigation apps, sometimes i use both waze and google maps side by side when i start to doubt waze's route. Also good to use for 2 shopping apps side by side to compare which app sells cheaper on same product. Also best for email when you use one screen as keyboard.

[@DimitriosK-n5g]

Just watched this from my Surface Duo 2

[@petergilbert8286]

Just hunted down a SD2, original slim pen 2 and SD2 pen cover, all for just under£300 Watched pretty much every video Shane put out on this before buying it, have even put my OG pixel for in a drawer and use this instead Gcam installed, absolutely loving the true multitasking abilities of this little device, happily folding it open and closed multiple times a day without worrying about ultra thin glass What can i say, loving the duel-screen lifestyle 👍🏻, heck this even had all the Pixel goodness like Maguc editor etc.... Love it

[@Seth_Michael_Hernandez]

Man, I'll just keep my SD1 until the wheels fall off.

[@purian23]

Admirable, but you're suffering for absolutely no reason at this point. Pick any $300-$500 phone and you'd have a better device.

[@Seth_Michael_Hernandez]

@ this is not, and outside of briefly, never was a primary device.

[@Seth_Michael_Hernandez]

@ I go to my SD1 more than my iPad mini 6.

[@realMDizzy]

I still use mine to trade stocks lol. I got charts on one side and broker on the other.

[@Seth_Michael_Hernandez]

It's the greatest device. I'm watching KZbin on the left and everything else on the right of my SD1, as I type this.

[@williamcopeland2617]

Good video, Shane. Last month I finally retired my DUO2 after all these years for a SAMSUNG S24 FE. Definitely not used to these single screen candy bar style phones anymore, but I got it for $400 which was the deal of the year. LOL.... Hopefully, MS will make a come back soon.

[@panathatube]

The Samsung Galaxy A16 which costs couple of hundred dollars: six (6) years of OS and security updates! The Duo 2 with original price 1500 bucks I'm ashamed to even mention its support! Outrageous.

[@diniconights]

Would love to get a 360° single screen duo or a dual screen with even less gab smaler boarders and as thin as duo 1 would be crazy... And possible with todays tech... Would love the performence gain...

[@CornellWellsII]

Thanks for this video. Still holding out hope for a new Duo phone. I still use my Duo 2 from time to time. But it’s very dated now and the only way you can really update it is if you modify it yourself.

[@daz4172]

Good factual analysis of the timeline for all these patents that I am sad to say will never see the light of day. It would be great if they did but the facts are there, when Panos (Microsoft’s former product lead) left that was the end of the line for the Duo & Studio devices. RIP SD1 & SD2

[@bronwynecg]

Kinda wish I kept mine. 😕🤔 But the fact that I couldn’t get latest OS ( amongst other more pressing reasons ) meant I gave it up…

[@patrickmurphy3601]

I got a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and it just doesn't feel good to use. Whenever I pick up my SD1, I am reminded how much I loved that phone. I still love it. I would trade in my Fold for a SD3 in less than a heartbeat.

[@Sw33tBabyRays]

I doubt many normal ppl waited outside a Best Buy to get a surface duo lol.

[@mawash0309]

i think the new Amazon phone should release some day called the Surface Trio

[@mirgjankupi128]

My duo 1 was such a fun device albeit limited. She died in like 100ml of water it was funny and poetic after a year of use

[@1GamersRewind]

Shane: "I'm here once again to crush the dreams of surface duo sequel hopefuls. It's never happening. Never, ever. Don't ever believe it will happen because it's not happening. I'm getting tired of saying it's not happening. Believe me, I want it to happen but it's not happening. Ever."

[@williamcopeland2617]

Relax brotha. HAHAHA....

[@miroslavsvoboda367]

In my opinion, for Microsoft it would make sense to produce hardware only if it runs Windows. So completely agree that this is just a clickbait...

[@dad-of-war]

What happened to your hippy look you look strangely professional or unabomber ish

[@shanecraigtech]

Barbershop accident

[@steadycompsltd.]

@@shanecraigtech LOL, I think it looks great.

[@MJK0627]

I still think the Surface Duo design makes the most sense. Samsung came out with the foldable screen devises not because they should, but because they could. For those who truly want to multi-task, the Duo makes the most sense. Otherwise it's just a large screen and if you want that, buy a tablet.

[@shanecraigtech]

Can't put a tablet in your pocket though!

[@samcurmudgeon]

Your... your... your hair?!?!? 😮

[@Ketsuafureskit]

What happened? Lost a bet? New Years resolution to the wife? You know what I’m talking about.

[@shanecraigtech]

Barbershop misunderstanding

[@Ketsuafureskit]

@ Gotta be that Tennessee drawl.

[@DarriusTaylor]

I think it looks solid man. It grew on me throughout the video. Def your own style. 👍🏽

[@Murek79]

What happened to your hippy look I was thinking is someone else chanel

[@Danominator]

Shane thumbnail jumpscare jk looks cool!

[@shanecraigtech]

One of the rare instances where the thumbnail can't just be a nice photo of a product lol. Got to get creative..

[@Danominator]

​@@shanecraigtech I've been using the Sticker feature on Android/Samsung as a tool to make thumbnails like this easier to get the initial picture for. As long as you're in a good background it's pretty accurate! One of the few times I'm glad Android copied iOS

[@AgentZeroNine1]

Losing (or pushing out) Panos, Xbox in a downward trajectory for a long time, aggressively pushing Copilot/AI on a majority that doesn't want it screams Microsoft is screwed when it comes to the consumer. The Duo is/was a dud. Microsoft is now a B2B company more than ever.
