Microsoft Surface Duo

[myhealthychoice]

Coming soon to Singapore. A new category of phone that poises itself as a device which brings efficiency.

Here is how it works:

I honestly don't think this phone will end up well.

Is good for work purpose. But is shi7 for daily use.
Hard to msg, u have to fold it Everytime. Otherwise the keyboard either at left or right at both side which is super wide.

No nfc, one camera only, old doc, need to fold all the way to the other side to use as a phone. So much actions just to take a call and close. Plus the price. Mlmlml microsuck. Bend u after u sold out on us windows phone users....

and the SoC...

any idea if the surface duo imported from US can be used locally? Read the news that the surface duo will not be shipped globally till 2021

 

[aneegin]

yes should be able to. Problem is how to purchase and ship it in.
I tried purchasing from Microsoft site and Best buy, both need to use US credit card.
Only other option is bigapplebuddy but will need to pay 150USD more ....

Seems really is unavailable outside of the US until 2021 and we are not inside the list of those certified outside of US some more.....

Yea thats bad news ... If u add in shipping + tax, the device will be about $2400. And if it gets damaged or faulty, cant even get it fixed ...

 

[luxerio]

Guess have to settle with fold 2 then. $500 more but with local support.

I am quite tempted to get this over the Fold2, just from the size of the display. the pricing and the outdated specs are a bummer although if the performance is good, probably can overcome those. anyway, not going to come to Asia so no point thinking about it also. Hopefully, next gen comes with better specs, integrated stylus and wireless charging.

The Fold 2 preorder comes with free Galaxy watch 3... So the price is actually down from $2888 to $2388 (if u count in the $500 watch). Which is just a little more than the Surface Duo... i think the choice is quite clear now. at least for me As much as i like the dual independent screens on the duo which i think will definitely be more productive than just 1 big screen, the delta is too low for me to purchase the fold 2 over the duo now..

No 5G = gg liao

 

[larryzotter]

looking to import it, if anyone has good recommendations or tompang

 

[iduncheckmail]

so far most of the reviews mentioned that the software is buggy.
Android itself is not catered for dual screens, not to mention app support.
Most likely stuck with MS apps that are adjusted for dual screens.

How is it? I'm worried that the RAM is not enough to power 2 screens even though SD855 is more than powerful enuff not to be sluggish.

I don't care about NFC & Qi charging. It's mainly the app and OS experience that I'm concerned about. Also how's 4G speed?
