well, check the previous thread I made for the first version surface duo 1 no one really bother about this product line it seems LOL laugh.gif

but now, Microsoft just announced the new generation of the Surface Duo, seems they have no plan to cancel this product



I'm all about the fresh new gadget things.. but the first version seems really like not even a half bake product.. this time around, still a half bake? that big camera bump and bezel duhhh doh.gif but I hope that camera is good, flagship spec much like their Pixel, then it could be an awesome tool. Interesting product at least to me. Hope they will priced it right, I might consider it this time

who is going to buy this? please enlighten me.

very poor software and support.
hardware: will not be able to get parts in Malaysia.
Ridiculous price.
Ugly bezels.

save your money and buy iPhones.

Poor software support is subjective, its integration in their microsoft ecosystem.

Price wait to see

Who would buy? Me, i can see good use of it.. iphone? Lol its just my spare phone

4,449 mAh energy supply for large dual 90Hz screens...? Summore  the overheated Snap888 in the thin body...?

Disaster incumming....LOL...

Galoxxx Fold3 is lucky to have the outer display for 4,400 mAh...

This SD2 is not going to survive one-day usage becoz no outer display...

Fold 3, i still skeptical with that fragile folding screen.. imagine if you break the screen after warranty ended.. become paperweight only rather than paying for new screen hefty price.. decided not to buy it yet..

What can this SD2 do?

- As a daily driver ( too big compared a smartphone today, too small battery )

yes as daily driver, its not too big to me. I read a lot from mobile devices, my iPad Pro is not very portable, I end up read more on smartphone but dem I wish a bigger screem

- Mobile Gaming ( what is the different to compare it with Standard Smartphone today? even w/o folding screen.... ?? )

I don't think this is a product for gaming, not even a point to make. media consumption, yes

- Productivity ( I guess iphone + iPad still beat SD2 at almost same cost )

I got both iPhone+iPad Pro. why am I still longing for a foldable and pocketable large screen device?

this is a product that want to beat every corner ( Mobile Phone, Tablet, Laptop )
( Bigger than phone, smaller than Tablet, lighter than laptop , all in 1 )

I don't think that is wrong, I for one looking forward for such a product. Samsung note is my most preferred phone just because of the added productivity values

in the end. The product beaten by itself.
Ridiculous price tag, unconventional = less support. ( how many apps going to natively support dual screen mode? ), battery problem...
yes, if the price is ridiculous I won't be buying it. less support? Microsoft is not a small company, how many million people using windows.. but small fraction using Microsoft phone. demand=supply. hence I think this is subjective.

fold wannabe lol?

not a wannabe.. its a dual screen device, simple as that.. to me it make more sense than trying hard to make foldable screen that only makes us nervous to use a.k.a fragile

Microsoft = Big

Big = Good Support???
Microsoft is actually a very sub-par among Top Tech company.

- Windows Mobile, then Lumia, then Nokia
- Microsoft Kin, Bob
- Zune
- Groove Music ( didn't know eh? trying to compete with Itune, Spotify )
- Bing ( 1st thing after install Windows, remove BING as default search )
- Skype ( the defacto of online chat and the supposed defacto on video call today )
- MSN
- Hotmail ( the original no.1 Email , now? )
- Internet Explorer ( then finally gave up and use Chromium engine )
..........
When MS Launch a Product/software.

HIGHER ODDS it will become a flop.

Maybe you said that comparing to apple and google.. but it is among top tech giant, be real.. of course if we go down the course of history, we can point out many flaws.. so does other companies.

But then, i bet you hasn’t even see and try the product, how can be so critical.. i by no mean a supporter, but just a tech enthusiast laugh.gif
