See if Microsoft's dual-screen Surface Duo 2 survives scratch, burn, and bend testing

22 November 2021
The unique smartphone is being subjected to a lot of torture.

Sort by:

The camera could be better, and Windows would be far better than Android for the Surface Duo. But it's a great idea and a high qualtiy device (I am not interested in a bending test) ... actually I don't want to switch to any other phone. Except for a further improved Surface Duo 3.

    This would be a perfect way to replace a laptop.

      And so what if you need to use the camera while the phone is in a 3/4 open state or more, it's still operational.

        Anonymous, 23 Nov 2021Better alternative than both the Samsung and Huawei folders.troll? 1. its not a foldable 2. ALL reviews say its still one of the worst "phones" ever (not just foldables) because of its software, unreadable center, none existant outer display and an unuseable camera when the screens are "folded". 3. it's 600$ more expensive than a z flip3 while not even offering any new hinge- or screen technology - it's simply an LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen for way more money 4. the cameras still su**

        While I love me some surface hardware: this phone is a joke. If you really want a Surface Duo, you should go for the 1 which is down to 500-600$ at where I live. Still a su**y phone, yet much more "surface" than the surface duo 2.

          This phone is a joke. They should continue to use a small camera for the back.

          Now because of that camera bump, they can't even fold properly in book mode. Typical microsoft decision making.

                  It should run windows. Not android. The keyboard could be the touch keyboard as well as touch pad . Since its big it could have the touchpad in the left or right depending on settings or in the bottom center. Itll be a custom keyboard for pc.
