Requirements
Microsoft Surface Duo
As for my very first impressions of in fact holding and/or opening/closing the Microsoft Surface Duo, I have to state that it provides the finest feeling out of any foldable device Ive used up until now. Folding it feels nothing like the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Z Flip, or perhaps LG Velvet with its Dual Screen accessory; I consider it to be in a class of its own. The hinge feels unbelievable to move– near perfect. It needs the right amount of force to move but does not feel hard to move at all. It folds a full 360 °, or you can just fold it to any position and it remains. The fantastic hinge combined with the very thin and light-weight build really makes the Surface Duo a fantastic-feeling dual screen mobile phone.
Microsoft Surface Duo Forums
Simply like with every other mobile device weve reviewed, the hardware does not inform the entire story. As I mentioned previously, Im not able to talk about the software experience, the performance, the battery life, or other elements of the phone rather.
Pre-order the Surface Duo from Microsoft
The build material is glass on the front and back. The only external parts that arent made from glass are the sides and the hinge. Microsoft included a bumper in the box which attaches to the Surface Duo with adhesive due to the fact that of concerns over toughness– particularly with such a thin device. This is a similar setup to the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip cases. The bumper in package comes in white, however Microsoft will offer different colored bumpers to match the other Microsoft Signature Surface Type Covers.
The first thing youll discover about the Microsoft Surface Duo is its size. Its about the size of a little notebook while folded and around the size of an iPad Mini while unfolded. However whats truly impressive about it is how thin it is. Its really thin while unfolded, determining in at simply 4.8 mm in thickness! The Surface Duo is most likely the thinnest Android device Ive ever utilized. Its only slightly thicker general than the USB-C port on the gadget. Even while folded, it does not feel large at all, despite the reality that its a bit thicker than a lot of phones at 9.9 mm.
