Reply to comment by reasonandmadness in RIP Surface Duo—Microsoft reportedly gives up on the weird form factor - But Microsoft is still "all-in" with Android, plans a Galaxy Fold-style device. by speckz

I've had both the Duo 1 and 2, and both were incredible to use, just simple things that you could never do by going back to a standard single aspect phone.

You sound like someone who has never used one, as the entire point of a dual screen phone is that they are so much easier to use.

Once you use a device like this you realise how pathetically limited phones are.

Imagine you're on the go and someone sends you a picture of a number written down that you have to use elsewhere, like a webform or something... how tf are you gonna do that on a single aspect phone? Memorise the number? LOOOOL

I think that’s a joke. You spent too much time on the buildup though so I feel like you’re serious at the same time.

Nah he’s just really invested in the joke, then realized it was shit and gave up.

If he had the Duo 1 and 2, that means he "invested" over $3000 on bleeding edge tech that's already obsolete.

He's serious just phrasing it poorly. It's like having two monitors, it makes multitasking easier.
