#SURFACE PRO DUO 2 ANDROID#

And because the world just wasn’t at a stage where something like the Surface Duo 2 was needed a year ago, it feels kind of like a fresh start this time around. It was an odd thing to sell in the middle of a global pandemic, to be sure, but the Surface Duo 2 is here right when the world seems to be at least starting to reopen.

As soon as you start rotating, typing, and multitasking with both those screens, you'll start to wonder why you spent so much on this phone. If you just span Outlook or run a few MS apps side-by-side, you won't run into the worst of it. Apps crash far too often, and some of the worst offenders are pre-loaded on the phone.

A lot of my frustration is down to bugs, which are rife in the Duo 2's custom version of Android 11. Even just checking notifications and taking photos is tedious on this device.

If you don't live deep in Microsoft's ecosystem, the Duo 2 will be a consistently frustrating experience. However, all of those apps come from Microsoft. For example, you can run two apps side-by-side without feeling cramped, and some apps even have custom interfaces for the Duo that make them much more powerful. The Surface Duo 2 is great at some things you can't do well (or at all) on other phones.

The Duo 2 has gone from one of the most problematic devices I’ve reviewed to one of my favorites, and I’m curious to see where Microsoft takes it next. Either way, if Microsoft remains committed to the Duo form factor and continues to iterate on it, I’ll be watching. I’m not sure what problem that would solve other than eliminating the gap between the screens when you’re watching video, but it definitely would look cool. A recent patent filing from the company imagines a Duo-like device that utilizes a single panel that can fold 360 degrees instead of two discrete screens attached by a hinge. Perhaps it can figure out a way to attach and charge the pen without resorting to a goofy and expensive add-on case. Microsoft could also address the aspects of the Duo design that make it difficult to use as a primary phone (a touchscreen on the outside would go a long way here). That would give it more time to iron out issues and avoid the bug-filled launches that plagued both the original Duo and the Duo 2.

Verder valt het camerasysteem tegen, maar valt het ons weer reuze mee hoe lang de accu het volhoudt. Mits Microsoft de Duo 2 actief blijft ondersteunen dan, want Android 12 staat helaas nog niet aan de horizon. Niet alleen omdat het een keertje wat anders is, maar ook omdat de schermen beter beschermd zijn tegen beschadigingen en het toestel daardoor mogelijk langer meegaat. We zijn positief te spreken over het design. Dat geldt helaas alleen voor de apps die Microsoft zelf ontwikkelt.

Daar waar telefoons met vouwbare schermen vaak wel een goede software-ondersteuning aanbieden voor allerlei apps, is dat voor de Duo 2 niet het geval. Dat bedoelen we zowel positief als negatief.

We hebben veel opvouwbare telefoons voorbij zien komen (zoals de Galaxy Z Fold3 en de Galaxy Z Flip3 van Samsung), maar geen van die modellen lijkt op de Duo 2. 70% Surface Duo 2 – praktisch hebbeding is niet voor iedereen Bron: Computer Totaal De Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is uniek in z’n soort.
