Still not as bad as some of mentioned but definitely room for improvement. The camera is the one real element that shows the disparity of a spec gap. Keep in mind that with two screens, this device is doing twice the work. As for bugs and lags.the updates have remedied most of that. In my opinion it's not as bad as you may think. Now I'm sure you've read about the issues with the software and the camera. The multitasking element is unparellel and is the real selling point of this device. If II need to reset a password of an account, I can open my email and stay on the webpage as well. With the Duo I have both apps linked together so they open at the same time and I can access each of them independently. On a traditional single screen phone, I would have to shift apps, and that could cause timing issues with the workout. If I want to change playlists and don't have a certain smart watch, I need to access Spotify to do that. In addition a have my Spotify app to play music during the workout. For example, I use a workout app to track my activities. I can't tell you how much of a convenience it has been from a multitasking standpoint.

I use two screens at work so the orientation was already familiar.

LIke many have already stated, getting used to two screens on a phone will take a little time, however not much. I will admit that I've noticed slower data rates and a hight frequency of dropped calls and data blind spots. The 5Gless feature is a little bit of a different story especially being on the T-mobile network. As a cyber analyst instructor, I have my reservations on features like wireless charging and NFC, so those features not being available on the Duo were definitley not show stoppers for me as I don't use them anyway. From a specifications perspective I didn't see much of a difference considering my daily driver was at least three years old. I will provide my experience with the Surface Duo as a daily driver.Īs a consumber of MSFT products througout the past six years the Surface Duo was in my opinion the closest thing to a Windows phone so instead of getting a replacement for my OnePlus 6, I decided to hold off until the official release of the Duo.

The perverbial question with regards to investing in this devise will continue to be, "can it replace my current daily driver devie?" That answer will depend on a couple factors that have been outlined before on this site.
