14 August 2020
This should make the $1,399 foldable smartphone a bit more enticing.

      Pay 14 hundred bucks for two hinged retro phones. Enjoy it being made planned obsolete after three years.

        F*(in unicorn phone. Microsoft is just about to fall on thier face again. This lg G8 copycat of thiers is taking way too long to come to the market that it was interesting now its just a bloody irritation. I will be toasting to its failure soon enough.

          Let's see if MS can commit to that promise even if sales flops and keeping longer updates at cost lost for the few Duo users.

                  Even 5 year old Androids are miles ahead of what current iOS has to offer.

                    Most of my devices with Android get faster as new OS cores are released.

                          Three years? So basically a 5 year old Windows 10 PC will still have a longer software support than a brand new $1500 gadget.
