Microsoft surface duo 2 news2/19/2023 ![]() As mentioned, I typed part of this article on the Surface Duo 2 earlier, but that’s the last resort when I’m in a pinch without a larger computing device. But love triumphs over hateīut here’s the part where Microsoft gets the last laugh- as much as I complain about the device, I am still carrying it with me daily, particularly since I’ve been on the road and working out of public spaces more. While we do get that software can have some bugs which don’t become apparent until the device reaches the masses - but the Surface Duo takes it to a whole different level, that one can’t call it anything other than laughably half-baked. Microsoft is a trillion-dollar company, and they can’t release software at launch that isn’t full of very obvious and frequent bugs? People are supposed to pay $1,500 for a Surface Duo 2 and then hope half a year and six software patches later, the thing will behave as advertised? That’s not how it should work. Plus, the fact that some people have made excuses for Microsoft by insisting software patches will fix the issues is fundamentally offensive. ![]() Still, there have been times when I needed to type a short response in WhatsApp or WeChat, and the process took 45 seconds (instead of five seconds) because the apps froze up. If I’m using the phone heavily as my main phone, I’ll probably still encounter it once a day or so, but it’s not multiple times a day. This is, thankfully, much improved on the Surface Duo 2. This happened at least two to three times a day with the first Duo - if I have an app opened, the entire phone would occasionally freeze up and it’d take 15-20 swipe ups to exit out of that app. The absolute biggest issue I and many reviewers encountered with the first Duo was that apps would often crash and freeze. But because the original starting point was so low - remember, “worst software ever” - that even big improvements from that baseline may not be enough to redeem the product. You know how earlier I said the original Microsoft Duo had arguably the worse software experience I have ever experienced from a mass release product? Well, the Microsoft Duo 2 improves on that, and in some cases, the improvement is major.
