A true LOVE – HATE relationship.As it comes to the design and the creativity that was put into this device, it is truly a fantastic device. Premium feel, super thin. I think it is simply gorgeous. As it comes to useability though there are still a LOT of issues that either you ACCEPT or get TIRED of.Positives: Design, wow factor – this thing makes me feel (long time Apple / iPhone user) like the first iPhone. People are curious about this device. It is unusual. Using the dual screen is amaizing. Screen quality is gorgeous. Typing is not too bad, or even comfy sometimes.Negatives:Even MSs own Surface Earbuds struggle to instantly connect to the device and even worse, to disconnect sometimes when they are not in use resulting in the draining of the battery.Call quality through the buds sometimes leaves a lot to be desired.The software is still quite buggy but much more usable then at the time of launch.Taking a photo with this phone is a pure mess. Waiting for the right screen to activate which either works or not is a gamble.As it comes to your privacy, should you not want to jump all in and let Google record every bit of your voice input, the assistant will only work in a limited way, hardly understanding what you want. Eg. Open / Launch Tidal, instead of opening the app the assistant opens the website. It misunderstands oftenly even very precise instructions.I for one gave up an iPhone 12 Pro Max for this device (at least for a couple of weeks).To simply put the experience: with Apple and iOS things work FLAWLESSLY 99% of the time. With the Duo it is truly a gamble. This really reminds me my decade long experience using Windows until 2005. I found it to be fun to always having the challange of constantly needing to fix things to make everything just work, or improve slightly. Ever since 2005 though, when I have purchased a gorgeous 12 Powerbook, things were just WORKING and I have learned to enjoy things that were “just working” and carefully crafted to near perfection. Still, there is something about this phone that makes me crave it constantly.So all and all do I recommend this device: overall YES because it is unique and simoly feels good. BUT only if you are OK putting up with constant issues. If you just want a device that works, buy into the Apple and iOS ecosystem. Nice try though Microsoft, you ALMOST made me convert!

Surface Duo has received a lot of negative press. But , it is good enough for me. I might be a little bit biased here because: “A Microsoft Branded Android Phone” is the only Android Phone I would consider using, for Android Phone never really endeared itself to me. It maybe because the only one I used before now was a low-level one briefly.My”BRAND NEW UNLOCKED SURFACE DUO PHONE”, got just delivered to me in my location in West Africa after havingto pay some Customs duties.The best thing of all, is that it is compatible with my carrier here. Though, I find it a little complicated, being not an Android user. But, and I am slowly but surely getting a hang of it.

Tengo que reconocer que estoy muy contento con el teléfono, definitivamente es diferente a mis anterior teléfonos, doble pantalla = mejor productividad, si así es.No es para todos, pero si buscas productividad con la doble pantalla no lo dudes, el sistema operativo funciona muy bien.
