This is an interesting device. I like the form factor. Would love to see Windows 11 on this, but, I know that is a dream.

good. I hope surface duo 1 december update to android 11...

[megasp]

LTT showed how the software made the device a hindrance to productivity. Are the problems solved here?

[Mireaze]

Good to see they fixed the animations so I can feel slightly more guilty when I turn them off

[JimmyCerra]

The line at the top made me think I broke my phone for a second! Egads!

[RevivedWarrior]

It looks like something you would use for work or gaming or a replacement for a desktop but if you only needed it for texting and taking photos you would purchase from Samsung or Google most likely. Do you need to you have conferences during the day on your phone?

Is your hand OK? Does the new pen click feature work with any Surface pen or just the new one?

[mucker]

Updated Pen features only seem to work with Surface Slim Pen 2....not the OG Slim Pen...

[johnnyirish]

why do we need animations? why shouldn't apps just start immediately?

[hendrixdaemon]

this is so much potential for business. For the delivery riders alone or if you're picking up someone, 1 screen for viewing the map while you're driving and the other one for video call or chatting at the same time and you could use the pen for signing received packages

[AndroidDigest]

You need to talk about the touch responsiveness.. That's the biggest part of the update

[vincentawesome]

The one note shortcut only works well on the slim pen 2. Slim pen v1 doesn't stay connected where as the slim pen 2 does. I also hear the slim pen 2 auto pairs if take off the pen cover.

Maybe people have negative opinions with this Surface Duo. But in my opinion, this device is just OK

[GregoriusMagnus]

I would love to have this device. There are so many scenarios I meed to use two apps side by side. Not to mention the case when one needs to copy content in between work and personal account apps whereas clipboard transparency is forbidden.

[Fauraj]

I will like to change my Galaxy Fols 2 with this new form factor. I use to have the Surface Duo1 but I don't like the camera...but now is different...

[GamesplayChris]

Have they done anything to improve the swiping up from the bottom issue or is that just a hardware f up ?

[RichardRatner.]

Thanks Zac for the update, kindest regards, Richard U.K

I don't mind having android but if Microsoft built a smartphone with "normal" phone design, running Microsoft launcher by default and included all its Software. I would be all in.

[simonm]

If only I could buy a black (obsidian) 128GB one in Australia, but MS has been out of stock for weeks :(

Copping me one of these when it drops 250% in the next couple months
