Great-looking device that doesn't deliver. It lags, it freezes, the back screen spontaneously turns on when folded around, sound is unimpressive. Had to replace the Microsoft keyboard with Gboard because predictive text woudn't turn off. For a phone that had so much potential, Microsoft failed to deliver.

Love this device. Im happy Microsoft brought it to life.
So far the best experience I've had. Bought used recently. Using as my daily driver for about 5 days now. I get better use out of this then I would on an Apple,Google,Samsung etc device.
Pros:Productive use, beautifully designed, unique
Cons:Camera Quality, 6gb ram, battery stamina

I recently replaced my iPhone SE with the iPhone 12 Mini. I’m thinking to upgrade my Android device, that’s the Moto G4 Plus also from 2016, like the iPhone SE, that feels very outdated with the 7.0 Android, though it works fine.
I think the best option is the Microsoft Surface Duo, now that the price has dropped to $410 for the 128GB version or $20-30 more for the 256GB version, both locked with AT&T. Was thinking to unlock, of course.
I have my phone and main data plan on the iPhone and a second data only plan on the Android device that I use like a tablet.
The negatives people have about this phone, was thinking about it:
- doesn’t have the latest CPU/GPU: does it matter? as long as it’s snappy and permits two simultaneous applications to run. Will be much faster than by G4 Plus.
- doesn’t have the best camera: I have my DSLR’s and MIL cameras for that. As long as it can take a picture and Adobe scan it, will be fine.
- only 6GB for a flagship: I’m not paying “flagship” money. If that’s enough for browsing, office, YouTube and one or two applications more, I should be fine.
Wish Rogers could offer me this phone trough a cheap a plan, like they leased me the iPhone 12 Mini, but I think I will love watching something on YouTube and simultaneously checking all the facts on the web.
Using a mini laptop PC just isn’t practical, not even the GPD Pocket 2, since Windows wasn’t designed to be used with fingers, but with a keyboard and a mouse.

Anonymous, 11 Aug 2021did anybody try windows11 on this or windows on arm? is it ... moreI upgrade my Windows 10 to 11. Same performance as Windows 10, quite smooth, nothing special except the bigger "smallest" icons in the taskbar. I want it back to the previous size.

This phone is not that good, and it just installs bloatware some people do not really need, but it is good in specs mostly, Should be like 12 MP cause most phones do have that. That's fine, it's decent.

John, 08 Sep 2021As much as I adore this phone, I'll wait for its secon... moreIf you notice the spec sheet, both screen does have an iPad-esque 4:3 screen albeit in the landscape mode. Personally, I don't mind Microsoft giving a taller screen aspect ratio since this phone has a rather thick bezel. If Microsoft can replace the portrait 3:4 (aka 9:12) screen with a portrait 9:16 screen, that would be sweet.

As much as I adore this phone, I'll wait for its second-gen iteration with much better camera hardware and chipset. I also hope that Microsoft can give a bigger screen and also bigger battery. If Microsoft can put two iPad-esque 4:3 screen, that would definitely be sweet.

I wonder where will it stop, and would love to see the face of those who paid $1400 for it, they must be feeling really sick right now.
