It has crippling productivity problems that negate any benefit you could get from the two-screen design, it's extremely awkward in day-to-day use, and it's very buggy. The phone feels like it was made without any respect to ergonomics, hand size, pocket-size, or anything that makes a good Android phone. I bring up Microsoft's sales pitch because, boy, is the Surface Duo bad at doing the things Microsoft says it's supposed to be good at. Microsoft's website also says the Duo was designed to 'inspire people to rethink how they want to use the device in their pocket,' indicating that the company definitely sees this as a primary device. Microsoft is calling this a 'productivity' device thanks to it having the side-by-side app capability of a tablet-style foldable smartphone without any of the janky display technology. The Surface Duo sales pitch is that foldable display technology isn't ready yet, so try this best-we-can-do-right-now version that features two rigid, 5.6-inch OLED displays attached together with a 360 hinge. The hardware apparently dates back to plans to revitalize Windows for phones, but after that plan fell through, the hardware was upcycled into the most head-scratching Android phone of the year. Microsoft's first-ever Android phone (sorry, we're not counting the Nokia X) was announced and demoed an entire year before its release, hinting at what a long and winding road the Surface Duo took from inception to shipping. After one of the strangest run-ups to launch in smartphone history, the Microsoft Surface Duo is here.
