My gear:

It does show notifications in peek mode. You just have to set it up to do so.

Can't wait to get mine! Thanks for the recommendation!

i like the idea of the product but this version just isn't ready for primetime. Here's hoping they can see this video and make next years Duo a lot better. Great review!!

I wish I had the money ... this looks good

Hey Tim,
It looks like you recorded this video last month and launched it today! :) October's update fixed a tons of issues, check it out, I'm pretty happy with this update!

[bluetwinbill]

Do a quick current update with the software updates and since price dropped?

[DarkGT]

Much stable and responsive that Windows 10, brilliant work!

[treeflip]

You posted this after the October update arrived but the review covers the pre update software? Makes no sense.

It's an interesting device, I probably wouldn't use day to day.

I'm Loving the Duo.
It's a workhorse and I can't go back to regular phones lol.
The best mobile device I ever owned.

Great device. I may never go back to the old slab phone. Its just a big learning curve. This is a 2 screen device. Once you stop using it like a slab phone you will start to enjoy it. It's worth it if you have the money.

I was going to grab this phone in January but I'm staying far away from it and I'm just going to grab another z fold 2 custom with blue hinge good video tim

To get the notification icons in Peek mode, I had to turn off "When to show: New notifications" under Settings > Display > Lock screen display. After that I rebooted and now they show up.

I'm watching on my "custom" Z Fold 2. Not sure this was the best purchase. Open the ZF2 is epic. Closed, it's trash. Kinda makes me wish I looked at the Duo first. Oh well.

I think the biggest miss with this device is the single camera. I can't imagine using this as my daily driver, and I don't even snap very many photos. However this would make a great home use device, but at the price I can just get a dedicated tablet. Maybe the next revision will hit the mark, like the Z Fold 2 did.

Great review this is why we watch reviews video so that we can get a accurate and HONEST review of a product before we decide whether we want to buy it or not, this review has been the most honest I've seen so far and actually managing to get all the bugs on video is a real help so thank you. As for the device, phenomenal concept diabolical execution, with an astronomical amount of upgrades and the addition of numerous features the gen 2 could be a winner 🤞🏽

Quick correction, a silly one at that, but that is the Microsoft logo. The windows logo is angled.

[Jezee]

Just for anyone who has the Microsoft surface phone, there are reports of the plastic surrounding the edges of the phone is cracking right around the usb c port where the plastic gets extremely thin so just be careful when plugging and unplugging the phone.

I dropped mine off at UPS today.. Simply couldn’t take it anymore.

[jonathandalton]

i love the design, i hope there is a 2nd gen version that fixes the bugs, i'd pay for that.
