    Thoughts now that the Duo 2 is official

    I’m not buying a Duo until Microsoft has proven themself a reliable phone maker that updates old phones and not just drop them for new devices. The first Duo have had mainly bug fixes and security updates and those have been just bare bones for the last months waiting for Duo 2. That is behavior...

    Where do you stand on the great hump debate?

    The issue here is that the Duo is designed for a 360 hinge, that design falls apart with a camera hump. A better alternative would be to make the device a bit thicker, add 2mm on both sides for the camera, a better battery and other parts that take up space as qi-charging. As now the ability to...

    Duo ready app list

    Hmmm, last update is from 3 of October. Haven't there been any more updates of Duo optimized apps? I think the podcast mentioned a browser plugin and some screenshot tool. I guess that WC page is not continuously updated any more.

    Real use of Duo. It's not multitasking!

    Snipped a long list and some good description on how to use the Duo. When I read your post and other posts it gets very clear to me that we all got a very different opinion of what multitasking is. I agree with you that all of your examples are very good examples on where the Duo hopefully will...

    Reasons not to buy the Surface Duo

    You have a lot of good points in your post. Yes I was a bit provoking in the thread starter but I think it is valid worries as if we are to believe WC the design is more or less set and it is only the time of launch that we are waiting for. It will be a proof of concept version for a limited...

    Reasons not to buy the Surface Duo

    I would agree it is to early to decide if Duo is worth purchase, the price is not yet fixed and neither is availability. The title was a bit of an provocation. Actually no, all the latest articles on this site is about that it is set, no more major design changes will be done. So this thread...

    Reasons not to buy the Surface Duo

    I must say when I read about the Andromeda device I was very stoked. Years later and my interest was still peeked earlier this year after Microsoft presented the Surface Duo with Android instead of Windows X. I like the concept with the book format and the ability to go from phone size to tablet...

    Toggle for (game) articles

    For me Windows Central and earlier WPC is a place to come to for reading about Windows and Microsoft related thing with a focus on hardware and Microsoft software. Lately more and more articles around games have appeared and nothing wrong in that but it would be a good feature if you could...

    Surface Go Will Fail in the Education Market

    Microsoft needs to build on their strength at it is and that's as I see it Azure and Office 365. Create an offer with an education targeted sandbox Azure environment with components targeted for education. Start with higher education and work down to applications for pre-school. As Microsoft...
