The concept of Microsoft's two -screen terminal "Surface Duo" is attractive, but there are a lot of issues: product reviews
The notification bar does not work, some apps freeze, and the camera keeps switching.This is part of the memo that was written during the period of testing Microsoft's new two -screen terminal "Surface Duo".During the two -week test period, I encountered too many bugs, so I had to write it down to avoid confusion.
Microsoft updated the terminal a few days earlier, whether the feedback from the other rebuild and the WIRED US version was heard.Although the updated software was more stable than before, there were many bugs and unpredictable reactions.Even if a major problem is resolved, the use of "DUO" still has a bad idea.
It is not a problem that there are two screens.On the contrary, the two screens are wonderful.Have you used two PC displays at the same time?Once you use it, it will be difficult to return to only one display.Here is the same here.
However, it is software with many malfunctions that take the charm of multitasking by mobile terminals from Duo.Thanks to that, this smartphone, which costs $ 1,400 (about 146,500 yen), seems to be under development.Microsoft does not want to call it a smartphone, but Duo is still a smartphone and has not reached the standard in some important areas for smartphones.
Special device for Microsoft
"Surface Duo" is not the first smartphone with two screens.However, it appeared when each company was trying various smartphones design.
For example, Samsung and Motorola sell a folding smartphone of characteristic shapes and sizes.However, Microsoft has a big bet on the two -screen approach that the company expects to contribute to productivity without any dose of this new (and delicate) folding glass.Microsoft plans to develop two Windows notebook PCs in 2010 in 2010.
Duo is even more special because Microsoft has been challenging Android devices (and smartphones) for the first time in a long time since Microsoft has been under the umbrella.The reason why Windows is not used instead of Google's OS is for the app.
Microsoft's Windows Phone failed to attract third -party apps.For this reason, Microsoft does not make the same mistakes.
The Google Play Store has almost all apps that many users want, including those made by Microsoft.Of course, any Android device can install Microsoft apps, but there is no other experience in Duo.Microsoft is doing this well.The two screens are better than one screen.
Attractive design
Surface Duo looks like a small paper notebook and a beautiful notebook in a closed state.Unlike many modern technologies, it makes you feel the warmth of the universe and wants to touch the secrets of the universe.
When you take it in your hand, it feels lighter than it looks.It is surprisingly thin so it is easy to hold (unlike the other two -screen smartphones you have tried so far), and it is easy to carry and carry.However, because it is wide, it may not fit in the pants of the pants (when I put it in the ass pocket, it was like whether it could enter or not).
