Microsoft's strange phone scares us with a very high price and very low availability. It also does not impress with its technical data. Although, according to the first people who used Surface Duo, it is impressive in other aspects.
Surface Duo is an interesting device, taking into account its originality. This equipment is a bit like LG phones with a case with an additional screen - although it is incomparably more slim and better equipped than the competitor. Microsoft's phone works under the control of Android 10. And, unfortunately, it does not use the latest and fastest processor, or a camera with decent parameters.
Microsoft itself admitted that the great camera was not the highest priority in creating the first-generation Duo, and the use of last year's processor reportedly allowed for longer battery life and more efficient heat dissipation. Regardless of whether we buy these explanations or not, Surface Duo will not be a sales hit. It has no right to be one, since it is available only in the United States - for 1.4 thousand. dol. In the context of this amount, we have the right to complain, especially about the camera.
What is Surface Duo ? The press is not allowed to talk about it yet. Fortunately, only the press.
Microsoft has already lent the first copies to American journalists. However, in exchange for early access to the device, they signed an NDA that is very common in the industry - they cannot write anything about the device until a set date, except for the possibility of showing off tests. Only the phone began to appear on the promotional islands of the first American operators. And yet every passer-by would not sign any contract.
In recent days, quite a lot of amateur first impressions with the device appeared on the Internet. Besides, not only amateur journalists who Microsoft did not lend the device to, also went to the operators' salons. Here are some of their interesting insights.
We supposedly knew the dimensions of Surface Duo, but live and so impressive with its slenderness.
The phone, despite its form and two displays in a folded position, should not be a chore to carry in your pocket. Of course, it is by no means as slim as typical flagship equipment of the competition, but due to its design, nobody expected it.
Despite the above, Surface Duo is thinner than the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Although the Duo is slightly wider than a typical phone. Its dimensions, as a reminder, are 14.5 x 9.3 x 1 cm.
The Surface Duo camera is far from hopeless.
Well, magic isn't here. It is still a single, 11-megapixel module (f / 2.0, 1.0 µm, 84 °). So we don't have many lenses and the resolution of the matrix is definitely not impressive. As a result, however, we expected the quality typical for phones intended mainly for companies - in which the camera works well for scanning documents or business cards, but that's more or less.
I didn't get the authors' consent to have their photos republished, so I have to send you to the link above. The photos look pretty good. Surface Duo is undoubtedly no rival in the photo category for Huawei P, Galaxy S or iPhone, but it should be enough for most situations.
Last year's processor - and the Surface Duo is faster than the Galaxy Note20 Ultra .
Surface Duo has also been tested in Geekbench . He achieved a result of 751 points for single-threaded calculations and 2137 points for multi-threaded calculations. For comparison, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra with the state-of-the-art Exynos processor scored 532 and 2659 points, respectively. So only the most demanding customers should complain.
The problem is that the price is for the most demanding customer.
And in it, unfortunately, there is neither top performance nor a great camera. In the case of Surface Duo, we pay mainly for everything else. So too slim - for a folded phone - form with a supposedly perfect balance (according to first impressions, both parts of the phone have the same weight, despite the fact that there is a SoC and a smaller battery in one, and a larger cell in the other), for a sensationally working hinge and of course, for two - instead of one - high-quality displays.
Surface Duo is equipped with two 5.6-inch displays with a total resolution of 2700 x 1800 pixels. Snapdragon 855 with 6 GB RAM is responsible for the performance. The phone is compatible with LTE, UMTS and GSM networks. Its cells have a total capacity of 3577 mAh. The version with 128 GB of memory costs 1.4 thousand. dol, from 256 GB 1.5 thousand. dol. For now, the device will not be available for official distribution outside the United States.
Below is a video collection that was recorded by passers-by in the operators' salons:

Surface Duo is expensive, poorly available and average spec, but it's still better than we thought
