![]() All this assumes its used the way I love to use it."naked". My big concern with this, is how fragile the device is.the folding mechanism is phenomenal but if folded back to take a call, how will it withstand someone adding just a little to much pressure against that bump? What if someone does inadvertently try to place it in their pocket folded back.? I can see that easily shattering the glass. But I have three very active kids and it SUCKS for most situations. Sure, great in a perfect outdoor setting when you're completely still. My picture taking has dropped to almost zero because of how poor the camera is. Time will tell whether it is a major problem but it seems like it must be a problem of some sort.Īlso, I'm all for better cameras. That also won't work with the phone fully open so you'd have to have the second screen sticking out towards you in order to have a bottom edge to the primary screen to hold comfortably.īot orientations seem to require the phone being held with two hands and more awkwardly than people are used to. When I take landscape shots, I have my left index finger and thumb on the top and bottom edge and my right index finger hooked around the top-right corner while I press the button with by right thumb. That won't work with the Duo 2 because folding the screen the whole way back would cover the camera, and holding it with one hand while open would be awkward. With my current phone, I can hold it with one hand and take a portrait shot. I think about how I hold my current phone to take a photo and neither one-handed portrait shots or two-handed landscape shots would work the same way. The biggest issue, though, will be holding the device comfortably to take a photo. If you have the camera side down then the device will be wobbly and if you you have the camera side up then you can't open it too far or it will tip over. Secondly, it makes the device much harder to use in laptop mode. I see a number of problems with it though.įirstly, it makes the device close to impossible to use fully open and laying flat on a table or desk. They definitely needed to improve the camera and, if this is the only way they could do that, I understand why they did it. I'm a heavy Surface user - four current devices in the house and my Surface Go replaced a Surface 3 - and I was keen to get a Duo 2 if it had a desirable feature set, so I'm not hater. I could be wrong but I think that it will be an issue. The only difference with newer chargers are actually that they are faster than the older ones, delivering more charging amps, and faster even than older wired charging, but to your point, still not as fast a USB-C Fast Charging. The only downside to Qi for me is the need to buy multiple chargers in the first place (yeah, if I only had one, I probably would care about the charging speed too), but because it's a standard, once you've made that investment, it's awful when a phone doesn't support it. ![]() Even with the magnetic connectors that snap them on one-handed (a huge plus), they're still a pain compared to Qi: they can get dirty and may not make a good connection and you still have ugly and messy (and cat attracting) wires hanging all over the place. Wires are messy and a pain and my wife's cats play with the ones in the bedroom, causing them to knock phones on the floor. That keeps the screen facing me and keeps the phone always at 100% charge, except when I'm not at one of those places. I have Qi chargers everywhere, including work, car, and several rooms at home, so I just set my phone (pre-Duo) down on the charger wherever I am. The whole point of wireless charging is eliminating cables. ![]() Kd2604, I know we're probably not getting Qi charging, but that's a huge negative to me (I confess I'll still buy it).
