I will demonstrate the surface duo camera capabilities, speaker capabilities when it comes to audio, I will also demo the gaming capabilities of the Microsoft Surface Duo phone. people play pubg mobile, Call of Duty mobile, Asphalt 9. is an attempt from Microsoft to bring the Windows Surface experience to a dual-screen folding phone. did they succeed or is this just another need a test that Microsoft is charging us $1,399 to try out.

Your the 1st reviewer that handled the phone perfectly. U did a great job showing the phone off even with it's flaws. U didn't complain u just did a review and that's what your supposed to do. Other reviewers can take a page from your book. Great job

I ordered mine late Saturday Evening, I just stumbled upon a video and was like OMG. I should receive mine tomorrow (9/16) and I cannot concentrate on anything else. This video is the best I’ve seen with demonstrating the device without a ton of personal user likes/dislikes. This was a detailed demonstration of functionality and features. With any new, especially first Gen devices, there will be room for improvement, most of which can be fixed with software updates. If you consider buying this device, buy it with a purpose in mind and ask yourself if it will work for you. If you do that, your expectations will be reasonable, leaves less room for disappointment. I believe those YT’brs bashing the DUO were following other reviews or expecting a phone. This is a professional device, with a phone as an option IMO.

I love mine so far. Finally a Youtuber that isn't already against this device. Now my wife wants one. I just got her the Note 20 Ultra.

I’m keeping my iPhone for regular use the Duo will be my business phone so won’t need to take pictures or videos on it, as long as it works for meetings then great 👍🏽 won’t need it for Netflix or video games either. I just want to point out this phone isn’t for a gamer or photographer it’s mainly tailored for people like me, a business professional. Those who are like me see this as the perfect phone for business!

Really appreciate your review. A true influencer that understands what reviews are about. Disappointed about other creators using words like trash to describe the Duo and other devices without understanding the lengths companies and by extension the teams who worked years in most cases to develop and bring a product to the market. I am yet to get my unit to unbox and review on my channel and very much still exciting about the possibilities with the understanding about what Microsoft is trying to achieve especially by not saying that the Surface Duo is not a phone. Props again keep up the good work 👍🏽

Best review I’ve seen so far,
Very informative, I’m definitely buying this not bothered about the camera or games so perfect for me.

I bought one and I love it. No going back to a single screen phone after this. Great review

Nice video, TK.

I cannot wait for version 2. Similar size, with slimmer bezels for more screen real estate. I wouldn't compare this to a Samsung Fold until the Fold gets full S Pen support. This can be such a productivity monster it's not even funny. I really think that some consumers have bought into the hype that every device has to be able to do everything. We do need more diversity and should welcome specialists like the Duo.

Really that was the best review I've seen so far all of the reviewers they were trying to say negative things about it but your's was pretty awesome / do you like the speakers on them? I mean is it loud and bassy? Cause bass is pretty important for me

[RolandoNispiros]

Thanks for the informative review. I've been thinking about the Duo a lot lately. I'm willing to give MS another try on this as I loved the Nokia 920 and 1520 when I had them. I have since moved back to Apple. Since this is the first gen of the Duo it will not be my daily driver. But I like everything you said and will move forward with getting the Duo. I'm also swayed by the Duo because I am using the Surface Laptop 3 for my media consumption. I did see and touch the Duo today at Best Buy today and was equally impressed by the hardware.

[tonydcurrawong]

Another's great review. Thanks. Your channel is one of the most trustworthy on YouTube.

[Kiribiss]

Great review. I will get this phone for productivity reasons. That what this is for.
FYI the background you have showing at 2.45min is of the World Heritage fortified city of Valletta in Malta. If you love history, add it to your travel list.

[MichaelGerrard]

I think games and videos are secondary here. I can see this shining as a replacement for a desktop with two monitors. Teams on one screen, Outlook on the other. Or Outlook, reading a mail and the Excel attachment open on the other screen. Could you show Office apps open on the Duo next time? I think this is what it is for. However, how good will that experience be? Maybe it is easier to carry my laptop for a full experience?

[aka_izzy]

I just bought mine. So excited!

I've tried the fold and it's not for me. The fold's screen is easily scratched and blemished. I also prefer the duo's screen real estate for multitasking.

[quesadilla]

Left a note10+ for the duo and no regerts, thanx for doing your homework on this, learned from your review

[JeffJacquesmd]

I am enjoying the Duo, some very annoying unexpected behaviors with apps vanishing as you transition postures and other funkiness that the Surface team should be able to iron out.
Great and very thorough overview.
Tha k you brother

[JasonJ]

Getting ours tomorrow, super stoked. Thanks for the positive review!

[PrinceMalachi]

I just got one used off Amazon for about 340. At that price I really like it. It doe have its bugiand issues. But I'm using it more as a companion to my s21 ultra

[ScreenOnTimeYT]

It's not for everyone but it is cool. So much potential! Cheers tk 😎👍
