Surface Duo Reaches End of Life | The Phone That Forever Changed My Life

[@shanecraigtech]

I love seeing so many OG commenter names here lol

[@CornellWellsII]

@@shanecraigtech Been following you since you were posting about the first Duo and will continue to do so.

[@owlstarvideos]

@@shanecraigtech so do you know anything about those open plus pads you know what I mean

[@Danominator]

@@shanecraigtech Came for the Duo, stayed for your perspectives!

[@legockysandor]

Hello is it still worth buying surface duo 2. I have found an offer to buy surface duo 2 slightly used for €400. Microsoft pen and phone case is included. What do you think?

[@owlstarvideos]

@@legockysandor well let me put this way, I love my surface duo, but if stopped working I would not replace it, not eaven for $400.00, because there more advanced devices on the market that are way better ,like the OnePlus Open, and more to come, it's the future phone,pad,computer all in one. There is even a phone that folds out,three screams to make a pad.

[@LisaOliverauthor]

It was the Surface Duo that brought me to your channel, Shane, and I have watched you every day with my breakfast ever since. You introduced me to the world of two screens, and now tablet screens on phones, and like you, I love the imperfect but interesting. Keep making your wonderful videos, and thank you.

[@METAx55]

I don't think MSoft realizes that there is a stable audience of people that would purchase their mobile devices.

[@markfinlay422]

The only problem is that there are not many of us.

[@ACatCalledSnow]

​@@markfinlay422Agreed. Microsoft also are rubbish at marketing pretty much anything.

[@jakesyoutubezone9808]

Half the cult of Duo is about getting your hands on this insanely overengineered piece of tech for fire sale prices. Probably the most premium "thing" I handle on a day to day basis and I got it for 1/5 it's sale price,.

[@Lavishlyfat]

[@mrkstpn200712]

Anyone buying any new mobile device from Redmond *after* Kin, Windows Phone and Surface Duo must be a hardcore Microsoft fanboi who just enjoys being treated badly by Microsoft. Microsoft has proven three times already that they are completely incapable of supporting their hardware even when it's actually good, like some of the Lumias and the Duo 2 were. Hell, they even bungled the job with the Surface Go recently by releasing it only to "corporate customers".

[@Danominator]

I kid you not, I am watching this in tent mode, on my Duo 1, and still loving it even for all its flaws. Earlier, I held it in book form and had Discord open on the left. Got the notification for this video from your server and tapped it to open KZbin on the right screen. Now, I'm holding it like a tiny laptop and writing this very comment with Gboard on the bottom, while still watching the end of the video on the top. Truly, this thing is special and I am thankful you gave me the opportunity to see that.

[@arnoldbeckenbauer326]

I watch it on my Surface Pro X.

[@supersoni126]

Omg I miss mine so much..

[@markfinlay422]

Watching this ON the OG Surface Duo. Watching this BECAUSE of the OG Surface Duo. Subscribed THANKS to the OG Surface Duo. Thanks Shane.

[@lsbeller]

Thanks, Shane! Surface Duo news coverage is what brought me to your channel. I still carry my Surface Duo2 as a backup phone when I travel. I recently had to use it again as my daily driver when my ZF6 was in for repairs, and it honestly was a little difficult to go back to the fold. Thanks for the community and coverage over all these years.

[@simonw.2206]

Still using and enjoying my Duo 2 every day. I love the dual screen operation and workflow and have no desire for a folding phone. I'm very grateful to you for introducing me to It. 😊

[@vmac38]

@@simonw.2206 I wish I could still use my SD2 as a daily driver. The battery on mine just wouldn't allow me to. Even when it's not being used, the battery drain is very noticeable in a short amount of time. I have a Pixel Fold and it's a great phone, just not SD great, in terms of multi-tasking and work flow. It's a Hassel to splitscreen apps, when you've been exposed to a device where multitasking is inherent.

[@GaryFidel]

I still use my Duo every day. I want to avoid AI and whatever "intelligence" gimmick these monopoly corporations are forcing into our heads. Did you know that Google, which owns you tube, can take every word spoken or written, every image etc and use it free of any licensing to build up their AI for profit? That includes you Shane. If Teddy Roosevelt was still alive he would be busting up these monopoly robbers.

[@useless6234]

You were the only channel that helped me with the Duo! News, tips, tutorials, everything. This journey ends today, I decided to sold my Duo 2 that I had as my daily driver and just keep the OG Duo as a secondary device to have something to remember. But man, I'm glad that journey was alongside your videos!

[@Ronnet]

I was there with you when you started reporting on the original Duo. Bought mine 7 months after launch when the worse issues had been solved. Absolutely loved the device despite the remaining glitches. I still have it in my closet. Sometimes take it out just to hold it. There is something special about the fit and feel. Good times.

[@kingman.mp4]

I don't think I could ever go back to a single screen phone

[@guymontag5]

God I miss my Surface Duo. My OG SD1 bit the bucket last year in an unrepairable way, and I miss it so much. Watching you use a Duo in this video makes me want to go buy another one but I just can't justify the cost :(

[@jakesyoutubezone9808]

Watching this on a duo 2 as we speak. Been following since you started posting on the duo subreddit. Glad you don't regret the journey.

[@smburn]

Thanks Shane, Still love my Duo 1 & 2, I will someone would create a Duo like launcher for my one plus open, My favorite memory was the first time I used it and I said, "Finally somebody made a phone the the way want to work..

[@ACatCalledSnow]

Thank you for this Shane. I discovered your channel through Surface Duo and you inspired me to import it. I loved it and all your content. However, sadly, as a massive Windows Phone fan I should have known how it would have turned out in the end. It was a revolutionary device and I don't think Microsoft really knew what they had made and they certainly didn't know how to market it. Thank you for giving it a well deserved send-off and for all your content. RIP Surface Duo. Thank you.

[@shard1874]

Still using my Duo 1, and it still gets comments when I get it out in shops. "What phone is that?" "I've never seen one of those" etc. We need a Duo 3 now the world has excepted multi screen phones/devices.

[@AlastairWiggins]

Hi from Australia Craig. I have never met another Surface Duo or Duo 2 user in Australia. Your channel was one of the reasons I purchased a Duo 2 from Amazon US (it cost almost A$1000 more over here). To this day I still get people coming up to me asking what phone I am using. I have never had that reaction with any other phone! Still my daily driver and will continue to be so until it dies.....

[@bella5569]

I am an Aussie duo 2 user so there is two of us! :)

[@neilplatten5818]

​@bella5569 actually 3 of us! Even if mine is dead 😢

[@KevinJohnson-qe8tb]

four of us

[@PanchosView]

Surface Duo is what got me to follow your channel years ago. You were definitely the KZbinr to watch for anything related to surface Duo! Using my surface Duo to this day as a secondary device.

[@mkltattoos]

Pretty sure I started following from a Facebook MS Duo group and we stood hard on its ambition and potential. Very cool to see how much your channel has grown and I wish you continued success.

[@Sim_Cooper]

Still using my Surface Duo 2 and I don't see me changing phone anytime soon. 😊 Thank you for all your videos, you made me love Surface Duo even more.

[@Andrewski8506]

Cheers to you, Surface Duo! Cheers to you, Shane! Surface Duo was the reason I found this channel and your channel is still one of the first ones I watch nearly every day. Thank you for all your coverage of the Surface Duo 1 and 2. it is still, to this day, my favorite phone of all time! I'm still holding out hope that we will get a successor some day. I know you'll be one of the first to let us know when that happens! Blessings to you and yours, brother!

[@WaffleusRex]

RIP to the phone that got me to leave iOS. Shame Microsoft didn't support it the way it should have.

[@WaffleusRex]

I'm still keeping it in my nightstand. Still use it from time to time, even if I moved on to the 9 Pro Fold now. Nothing has ever flowed as well in multi-tasking as the Surface Duo 2.

[@IkesTechTalk]

Still the best implementation of multitasking we've ever seen imo. Can't wait for someone to copy it in like 4 or 5 years and reinvent it😂

[@kovalsky117]

Best form factor and approach so far. Glad your channel grew because of it :) keep it up Shane !

[@HauTam3ki]

My dream was a Microsoft phone after my beloved Lumia 950 XL. I had the Surface Duo 1 from May 2022 to November 2023. I love this device, the look, the voice when you close the device, and how thin it is. Since November 2023, I have a Surface Duo 2 with Slim Pen 2 and a Pen Cover. This is a great combination with the Surface Pro 9. I will use it for as long as I can. It's a shame that Microsoft has abandoned the Duo brand. I thought there would be a Duo 3 with a foldable screen, but that probably won't happen. Another product cancelled sadly

[@nationharris]

Nice video. Duo was my introduction to yourself and to foldables devices (if you can call it a foldable). I hated it as a phone but it got me hooked on what foldable devices can do for productivity. For all its flaws it's still the multitasking king for how it handles apps on its two displays and I wish someone would adopt their APIs because it truly is second to none.

[@gilgreenwood6354]

This channel helped me with my SD soooo much. Thank you for a great channel and helping us get the best performance out of this wonderful device.

[@kylemadsen4574]

Your channel was the whole reason I bought a duo 1 and if it didn't break I'd still be using it

[@robcooper5813]

Thanks Shane for all your videos and work on the Surface Duo. Bought it based on your review and still enjoying using the Surface Duo 2 as my phone. It is working well, love the screen aspect and 2 seperate screens. I still keep following your videos of other foldable devices. Keep up the good work.

[@GOTgoodoldtech-1964]

I was one of those who got the Surface Duo one when it really dropped in price. I picked up a new one for $450, I believe. After using it a while, I felt it had so much potential, I didn't hesitate to get the Surface Duo two at full price. I did kind of feel taken on that one when it came out. Not approved. In time, it got a little bit better, but it led me to moving on to my first foldable, which was a Samsung Z Fold 4. I still have my original Surface Duo and play with it from time to time. I still really like the two-screen aspect of the device. Great video Shane! 👍👍

[@jaleru]

This channel is why I bought my Surface Duo.

[@franciskang]

been following you since og surface duo. you were the only one pumping out content for it, and i'm glad you've built a bit of an audience.

[@nialli2000]

I'm one of those subscribers, I never had a Surface Duo but was fascinated by them and this channel

[@zmzmzma]

I love your channel because it goes beyond just reviewing the product, at least with the folds afaik! I'm a recent sub, and I really enjoy the more in depth and great things you figure out with the phones. Pixel 9 Fold is my first fold, and you've certainly been helpful :)

[@markjlenox]

Thanks, Shane. It was largely your videos that got me to go find a used Duo (1) on eBay and give it a try. Yes, the quirkiness of it and occasional unexpected glitches were quite annoying, but I really enjoyed it. I didn't know how much I appreciated it, though, until I finally decided it was time to move up and got the Pixel 7. I got my Pix7 all updated and set to my liking and used it for... maybe 2 weeks. I turned it off, however, because I just couldn't do the same things with it as I could with the Duo! I moved my SIM back to the Duo and kept it as my everyday phone for another 5 or 6 months. Finally, the Duo's tendency to misinterpret my touches and swipes finally FORCED me to move the SIM back to the Pix7. The responsiveness is indeed much smoother, and I can finally go back to having an awesome camera, but I do still miss the unique functionality that the Duo gave me. I still use it as a WiFi device today for reading ebooks and such and am still amazed to how PERFECT it feels in my hand when I pick it up and hold it. Thank you for your good work, and may God bless you and your family.

[@markjlenox]

Actually, my dream-world would be a Duo type device running Windows Mobile. Using a Nokia phone with WinMobile back in the 2010s was the first time in my life that I felt no urge to get "the next thing" in tech. If only app developers had taken it seriously, there'd be a third player in the mobile world today.

[@MJK0627]

The Surface Duo is when I started watching your channel because I was fixated on this device. I'm so glad you are still providing content for us

[@miroslavsvoboda367]

I confirm that I have started watching your channel due to Surface Duo - I have been buying foldable phones since the first Samsung Fold was made available and I bought one in 2019 and continued with all successors, Surface Duo, Pixel Fold, Honor Magic... But your channel really popped up and got my attention when looking for info on Surface Duo. Thanks for continuing and (almost) copying my foldable journey 🙂

[@matthewbecker7164]

Charged my Duo 2 for the first time in months and this was the first video I saw when I opened it. Great device, and this channel is what inspired me to try it out.

[@Matty0mega]

I found your channel through fold 6 searching. I love the idea that the surface is what really took off for you, that's sick. This makes me want to make more videos on my main channel....

[@romonster9002]

I still love my Duo 2 and have no idea what I'm going to do when it dies. There's nothing out there that I want.

[@jimreed1098]

Like many others Shane it was the Surface Duo1 and SD2 that brought me to your channel. I still have both and the Samsung ZFold6. ZFlip6 and the One Plus Open all thanks to your excellent reviews, comments and answers to mine and other's questions. I am a Nerd of the first order, and you have helped immensely Keep going!!!

Surface Duo brought me to your channel! I'm still daily driving my Duo 2. I find the format so comfortable to hold and use, but the last few months i have been wondering where to go next, knowing the end was coming...

[@mattbrewer985]

I miss this device. There are so many things they did right, and unfortunately, the lack of progression on software made people move to other foldable phones that the software was more stable.

[@jesuscervantesj82]

I'm not a long time follower, but I have watched your channel for quite a long time and I have subscribed barely and it's a pretty amazing channel. I mean, everybody has to start somewhere, but you can't give up and keep going. I run a streaming channel on twitch, about world of tanks. And it's slowly growing, you just gotta believe in yourself, like you have all these years and your channel's gonna keep growing to become something beautiful so far. I love your channel. And I'm thankful that you post these videos and just keep going. Brother, God will bless you and your channel will just get bigger. And more amazing

[@jorschachblatant1934]

Surface duo 1 is still my primary phone. I still love it. No matter what other people say about it.

[@stever6986]

I was an avid viewer of your Duo coverage from very early on (well before I actually bought one)...and I'm still rocking my Duo 2. I had the original Duo for about a year and a half. Duo 1's biggest weakness was its fragility. After several cracks to the outer cover, over Labor Day weekend in 2022 I knocked it off a shelf and busted the screen. I remember the timing because when I checked the MS Store online the next week for a Duo 2, they only had white 128K models in stock. I wanted black so I waited for them to "restock". Instead, the remaining 128K units sold out quickly and the restock never came (that was about the same time they cancelled the "budget" Duo design). After a month or so it became clear to everyone that Duo 2 was done, but I was able to find a white 256K model on Ebay. Despite its issues, I still prefer Duo's dual screens and I'm in no hurry to switch to a foldable because I don't want to give up 'tent mode'. Long live Surface Duo!! 😁

[@ChrisBrown-ux8jn]

Excellent. Never had the opportunity to buy a surface duo, they were not available in Australia, I think I missed an experience. Your describing the feeling of an old sports car.

[@spectre_esq]

There was a time where Shane was the only KZbinr giving useful and informative videos on the Duo 2. Definitely convinced me to get mine 😅 (unfortunately, didn’t work out with my carrier at the time 😢). But those were definitely the days. Cheers to your evolving and growing channel!

[@gcoupe1]

Still using my SD2. The only issue that irks me is that I can't add a contact to the Emergency Contacts list - it's a bug that Microsoft has never fixed.

[@theslader]

I went through 2 of these, the first one the hinge died, and the second one the battery eventually died. This is still the greatest phone I ever had and I still miss it every day

[@alexogle8950]

Such a shame this form factor is not being taken up by others. I hate the lacklustre designs from Samsung and Google. The Surface Duo 3 had so much promise but Microsoft always abandon their best ideas...

[@HauTam3ki]

[@owlstarvideos]

@@alexogle8950 yep Microsoft is always doing that and they pissed me off so much I installed all my computers to Linux mint and I believe the duo 2 is all I have left. But mostly Android now days

​@@HauTam3kiI loved the Microsoft Band. Yet another great product Microsoft abandoned.

[@rickyx5896]

Still using my SD1 daily, which I bought thanks to you and a huge discount. All is well still, except the battery life is decreasing almost daily. I dread the day when I can no longer use it. Thank you so much for all the tips and information that changed my life

[@PhilKnall]

Fun trip down memory lane! As always I'm watching this on my camera bump-less SD2, FGO on the other screen. I haven't been able to move on and will likely continue purchasing sd2s until supply runs out. I completely agree about that community aspect. It's why many of us are here after all!

[@_stas_]

Thanks for you channel and effort :)! I got a replacement duo2 4 days ago, still under enterprise warranty :). Long story short - it cannot be auto updated from android 11 till 12 in automatic mode anymore )). Third duo 2, two previous went dead sensors, starting from right screen ))).

[@maruxiii6891]

Thanks for Fighting the Good Fight for us Surface Duo owners. I've moved on to the 23 Ultra, but still waiting for a good Duo replacement. Can't wait for you to be super excited about another folding device.

[@randyjohnson2794]

I have watched your videos since almost the beginning of the SD1. I have both models and currently I am bouncing back and forth between my SD2 and a Pixel 7 pro. I use the Pixel for rough duty weekends and trips and such when i only really need a phone. The SD2 used for the rest of the times. Hopefully I dont wear out the sim tray switching the card back and forth!

[@jimmycychowski1142]

I still have my OG Surface Duo, 😊 I am still amazed by how bloody thin, the Surface Duo form factor was, I loved the weirdness of the device, I wish Microsoft would have given the Duo a third generation, it took that amount of time for the Surface computer to really hit it's straps, I keep my Duo now for reading books. I use a Pixel 9 Pro Fold now, but if Microsoft had a Surface Duo 3, I would get on that.

[@MnMLPFM]

I had this phone a couple of years ago and loved it but sadly, the morning after a night out with friends on my birthday, the phone slips off my car phone holder just as i pulled into the driveway, bounces off the car floor slamming right into the metal under the seat. Pierced all the way through the screen. I was TIGHT.

[@bella5569]

You are my favourite KZbinr - something about authenticity - I use the duo 2 as my work phone and another one I use as a tablet at home. So eventually I will change to a foldable and will looking to your channel for advice.

[@marklongley5937]

A month in with the 1+Open with OPPO Pen... Man, I was soooo disappointed after my SD2 😢 Getting into the Open now, but there will always be something about the SD2 that will stick with me forever ❤ Keep up the excellent work Shane 👍

[@planofattack2079]

I followed all your Duo content including the times we all went through phone breaking bugs and survived them. I am still using Duo 1 as my only phone and am typing this on it now. I am replacing the bumper tonight and it wasn't easy to find one. But the phone is still in mint condition and working great. Even the battery is still holding up great so far. It doesn't seem like we will get another phone that's really the same and I'm not sure what my next one will be. Luckily it's not an issue yet.

[@griever1475]

Still daily driving my Duo 1. Just can't let it go. I appreciated the coverage because so many sites abandoned the Surface.

[@RichD2024]

Call me crazy but to this day, even after owning a OnePlus Open, I still think the Surface Duo had the best multitasking ever. I think its because of the form factor or aspect ratio, but nothing quite feels like it.

[@a1303049]

Still rocking first Surface Duo. Love the hardware quality, some let downs in camera performance like you suggested. Wish Surface Neo actually got released with bigger screen which I truly love about foldables.

[@impulsesystems]

It's entirely your fault, that I bought one of these. I was late to your channel but I now understand the uses of a SD much more easily than a folding screen. I didn't expect a good camera or a good phone but for podcast listening and apps that demand a slightly bigger screen than a phone, it is still great! And at $350 or so, it was a steal.

[@OleHippy]

Oh, I forgot to mention how much I love the Duo 1 for terminal emulation into a remote AS/400.

[@NedalHanna]

The one question that I have been looking for its answer for YEARS: Can you split screen on each individual display on the surface duo?

Too bad about the Duo. Loved the idea of "hard screen's" vrs "Soft screen's". The form factor sold me, Microsoft... well...

[@FAT8893]

Microsoft really never take mobile hardware business seriously. I still believe Windows Phone still has so much potential to be a real mobile PC, especially when they introduced Continuum for Lumia 950/950 XL two years before Samsung DeX and Huawei EMUI Desktop even a thing. Just imagine Surface Duo running native Windows ARM.

[@billseren8391]

It's absolutely incredible that we are talking about end of life of devices that have been overly consistently reliable. It's at end of life, sure, but I can still use my Surface Duo 1 phone after 3 and a half years, while people bragging about their Huawei Tri-Fold phone can't even use the device after a month. Microsoft fell short of marketing on this one, but I think they truley had a winner here.

[@brianwolters7560]

So yeah, it was the Surface Duo videos that made me a fan and subscriber. As I've said many times, it still sits on my desk at work and is still a "tablet / reader" for me...heck, a few months ago, I almost put my sim back into it...I just so love this phone and wish Microsoft would reconsider and make another one for the fans. But with the recent re-org in the Surface team and Microsoft offloading their keyboard/mice division to InCase (and we still don't have the InCase devices yet), I think Surface will just be the laptops and tablets. Which is sad to me, because I really liked their Headphones and "gauge looking" Earbuds. I will miss the Surface Duo. But I'm a forever subscriber.

[@joeg8186]

Really sad just got a new duo 2 and it won't update to android 14

[@eriktronic101]

This update broke my home screen! Now the app list and the 6-app hotbar are white instead of black like I had it and it won't go back Even after changing themes! WTF

[@shanecraigtech]

Weird, no issues like that on mine! Might need a reset.. 😬

[@mrkstpn200712]

Hey Shane, this channel actually made me buy a (lightly used) SD2 back in January 2023. I've really enjoyed using it as my secondary device and I absolutely hate how Microsoft treated this device over the years. Fold4 is still my primary, though. I guess it's time to move my SD2 to "tertiary" status, as I still want to use it, but don't feel like I should have my banking apps on it for much longer...

[@exturkconner]

Have you considered maybe doing one of those phone art framed displays people do with a device broken down and all of the parts laid out in a matte? I imagine you'd have to have someone do it for you and all but it seems like it'd be a cool way to memorialize the phone that got you here as it was.

Thank you Shane! I've been a surface duo fan since it first came out! I have been using my duo 2 everyday as my only mobile phone. But this news makes me sad and now I think it's time to move on. I plan to purchase the pixel 9 pro fold.

I also miss folding the phone back to answer it, still bugs people out when they see that 😆🤣 now just Bluetooth answering

I’m still using my OG Duo 1. It’s still an eye catcher. It’s still a productive workhorse. If I can find an unlocked Duo 2 I will definitely buy it. I’m not a fan of the new foldable phone because of the single screen. The duo just had that certain feel and level of premium that I don’t get with any other foldable phone (my preference of course).

[@wesleyfoster1967]

Was it significant enough for a student to go into debt for? Was it significant enough for a business tool?

[@abrendan_dev]

I miss my Duo 1. I've used my Duo as my main phone until 2 months ago. I now changed to a Galaxy Fold 5 because I found it pretty cheap and I really like it. Especially the software is so much better than the Duo honestly but something about this phone just won't let me go. The way you can multitask is something I don't know we'll ever see again. Sure you can achieve something similar on a foldable but it's not the same. It's always more of an after thought than an actually design choice. And also just the looks of the Duo's is amazing. Extremely thin and futuristic looking. I'm now using it with Windows 11 ARM as my small notebook but I'll always miss it as my main phone to be honest.

[@geeshta]

When Surface Duo was a thing I still was too poor but I would definitely get a device like this nowadays. TBH I almost don't use the cover screen on me One Plus Open and I love the radius of the hinge on the Surface!
