DETAILS
The Microsoft Surface Duo feels truly innovative in how it’s built to help you get things done, but its myriad software inconsistencies, outdated hardware and subpar camera — all for an exorbitant price — betray its inspired design.
Pros
- Gorgeous, practical dual-screen design
- Intuitive gestures
- Pairing apps unlocks potential
The Microsoft Surface Duo is a beautiful tragedy. I’ve never been simultaneously enamoured and frustrated with a phone, even if it feels a little unfair to call the Surface Duo a ‘phone’ in the purest sense of the word.
The reality is it’s a productivity powerhouse that just happens to be able to handle calls and text messages.
When you think about things that way, it’s easy to call the Surface Duo a success. It’s capable of things no other phone can do efficiently.
The phone may well be crafted meticulously, but that price tag is still good. the Surface Duo is probably the best device around for mobile productivity right now, even if the slightly dated hardware leaves something to be desired.
