Here’s a chance to check the exotic Surface Duo off your bucket list for a very low price\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

If Microsoft received a penny for every brilliant idea that wasn’t exploited to its full potential, the company would be even richer than it is today. Take the Surface Duo for example. It’s a great phone, but it never got the recognition it deserved because Microsoft wasn’t committed enough. Regardless, it’s a pretty nice device, and while it was prohibitively expensive at launch, you can save big on it for now.<\/p>\n

The Surface Duo is a dual-screen device, so you get two 5.6-inch screens instead of a single foldable screen. Even with all the progress that has been made, paranoid people like yours truly might consider opting for a foldable screen a bit risky. But with the Surface Duo, you don’t have to worry about accidentally breaking the phone in half.<\/div>\n
So basically, you get all the benefits of a foldable phone in a more sturdy design.<\/div>\n
You can run two apps side by side on the Duo, making it ideal for multitasking, and even when using one app<\/a> at a time, the experience is superior to conventional phones. In fact, you can open your inbox on one side and read an email on the other.<\/div>\n

It has a 360-degree hinge, which can keep the device open at any angle. When responding to emails, you can position the device like a laptop and type on the keyboard that will appear at the bottom.<\/p>\n

At launch, the Surface Duo cost $1,399. Microsoft no longer sells it and its software support has also been discontinued. It’s still a lovely device and if you’re interested in owning it, Woot sells a refurbished model for $299.99.<\/p>\n

It incorporates the Snapdragon 855 chip, but the performance is adequate for daily activities. The camera<\/a> isn’t anything to write home about, and the battery life isn’t particularly impressive either. <\/p>\n

But then again, this isn’t a device you’ll buy with the same logic you’d buy for a high-end 2023 phone. It beats those comparisons. It’s a rare combination of modern but not quite avant-garde. Get the device if you want a pocket-sized gadget for productivity, reading books, and light gaming.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
