Online Reviews
Many Microsoft Surface Duo reviews can be found online. Below are some quotes from tech blogs that have covered the performance of the device.
- “As it’s a dual-screen device, you can have apps open on one screen and not the other. It also looks like you’ll be able to customize the home screen and make one portion always display the ‘Shelf’. There seems to be lots of customization options (even down to altering the search bar look) and it’s a very clean UI.” – Trusted Reviews
- "That said, the hardware looks slick, and Microsoft has done a good job here building on top of the Android foundation to ensure there’s a dynamic two-screen experience.” - TechCrunch
- “The software, on the other hand, seems far more polished for multi-tasking than any dual-screen or folding phone we've seen yet. If you're following a link from a text message or email, it'll pop open in a web browser on the other screen, so you won't be distracted. You can pair apps to open up together from together Android launcher.” - Engadget
