Best video I have seen actually demoing the product. Nice one!

It would have been good to mention that many Google apps are likely to get their spanning versions in Q2 of 2021 when Android 11 is available as an upgrade for the Duo. So all that stuff is coming for those that buy now.

...that is why maybe wait till v.2 as this is clearly a work in progress with limited use until Android 11 arrives. TBH MS should have collaborated with Google and released this with Android 11 and we have no idea when that essential update will arrive? The rest of the world is not getting the Duo till next year so I am not sure why it released early in the US as an unfinished product, at least software-wise? Maybe waiting till Jan when the new SD875 will be available and still having an SD855 was a PR nightmare, $1400 (plus taxes) for something with a 2-year-old SoC is not really credible. Not a sensible buy ATM apart from those affiliated with MS or those that simply have money to burn on new tech. This is far less productive than nearly every other choice and poor value to boot, so a tough buy.

They made it with a hinge for a reason. If they wanted to go the fold direction they would have. Developers have to optimize their apps. You're complaining about the gap when everyone knew it was two different panels.
