1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
you know me i'm a bit of a quirky boy i'm a quirky boy

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,719
i like when like device manufacturers are like you know we're not gonna make a

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,760
normal phone we're gonna get kooky with it we're gonna get wacky the surface duo

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:23,279
one really kind of scratched that itch for me which is interesting because as a

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:29,119
online person i like to cover those kind of weird kooky things would i buy them

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,199
do i shop for them no unlike jono

7
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,040
pre-orders every shiny new thing that pops up in a in a tweet i'm more like

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,399
i'll i'll just you know i'll just i'll just wait for the reviews and stuff but

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:43,440
i don't have to wait for the reviews we have the surface duo here and i get to

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:49,120
unbox it let's take a look oh it's beautiful the paper they chose

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,239
sustainably sourced probably i don't know it's probably not i don't know it's

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,039
got some heft to it i do have the surface duo one here so we're gonna do

13
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:00,879
some comparisons uh but oh wow look at that i mean right off the bat i remember

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,840
that the first phone did not have a giant camera

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,400
bump like this oh i ripped it

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,760
oh you're supposed to open it this is the weirdest unwrapping

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,760
situation ever interesting

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,720
you should not bring me on for these i like the texture on it look at that the

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,840
older one i don't think it had or there's a dbrand skin

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,960
of course what else is in the box this is probably just documentation and a sim

21
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,680
card removal tool and do i need to know any of this

22
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,200
no power adapter everyone's doing it save the planet

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,280
copy apple you know microsoft's taking another

24
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,280
uh gander at this and they look very

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,439
similar although the most obvious difference looking at them here is the

26
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,840
curved screen this is a flat screen on the first surface duo and on this one

27
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:00,320
you can see that the inside of the screen

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,759
like the screen curves into the inside a little bit into

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,920
the hinge so that when you close it

30
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:11,680
you can see a little bit of the screen and apparently there will be

31
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:16,480
notifications there so on the top we got nothing on the side we have a very

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,200
similar setup except we have

33
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,040
this fingerprint sensor that's separate from the power button in the volume

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,120
rocker on the surface duo 2 i think that the fingerprint sensor is integrated

35
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:35,680
into the power button volume rocker and the sim card slot is now on the bottom

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,560
of the device next to the centered usb-c

37
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:43,920
port which i believe is a faster port as well that's exciting isn't it jono

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:46,720
dang it jono what are you are you pre-ordering something get it out of the

39
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,720
cart get it out of there so the other obvious difference with

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,480
these two devices is the camera so on the first one we had a single i think

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,720
right yeah a single camera on the inside and their reasoning here was that like

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,760
okay it's a selfie camera because you know it's like a regular phone here and

43
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,760
you're using like a selfie camera but then if you want a rear camera you just flip it over it's still a phone from

44
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,319
that side too and now it's a rear camera i got you and people complained a little

45
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,159
bit about that i mean the five people who bought the phone

46
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,000
i forget how much it started at but it was like fifteen hundred dollars sixteen hundred

47
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:30,959
dollars something and then by the end they were still in it by like for like five hundred but on the surface duo two

48
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:34,959
not only do we have more than one camera we have three cameras on the back and

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,160
then also a single camera on the inside once more

50
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:41,440
we got 400 more cameras

51
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,040
so yeah there's a lot of stuff to be excited about with the new device

52
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,680
although how much does it retail for it starts at 1500 again wow the confidence

53
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,000
this is basically two like wide phones strapped together which

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,640
is not like a super new thing in the industry lg has their has their two

55
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,080
phone system thing there's the galaxy fold obviously that's a single screen

56
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,280
but it's just wacky all right i'm gonna turn it on now jono is that okay with

57
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,360
you no no we'll just we'll just stay in this

58
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,959
space and just reflect on what brought us here so we're gonna

59
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,359
take a look at the actual software the device

60
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,680
i tell you about our sponsor which is of course d brand because they sent they

61
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,199
sent us this they're so nice to us what is what is this a poop emoji

62
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,919
is there a theme is there a theme or a reason what if i release all the helium

63
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,840
into the atmosphere and it causes global warming

64
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:51,040
for today's sponsor read i've been handed this very crumpled piece of paper

65
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,479
thanks dbrand as i read through this script it's becoming increasingly

66
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,000
obvious that i won't be advertising any of dbrand's products instead i'm

67
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,479
apparently going to be reading a tongue twister

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,199
betty botter bought some butter but she said the butter's bitter if i put it in

69
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,280
my batter it will make my batter bitter but a bottle better but but a bit of

70
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,160
better butter will make my batter better so she bought some better butter better

71
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:21,280
than the bitter butter and she put it in her batter and her batter was not bitter so twas better betty botter bought a bit

72
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,280
of butter better butter

73
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,560
my editors are now going to put a link on the screen where you can purchase

74
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:32,720
dbrand products each purchase will go towards funding what i can only imagine

75
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,680
is an entire department dedicated to tormenting us

76
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:41,520
in conclusion don't inhale helium because the internet says that's

77
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,960
dangerous apparently and also get a deeper put a dbrand skin on your

78
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,039
so the software is one of the big reasons people were kind of disappointed

79
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,720
by the surface duo one they did not do enough to

80
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,680
smooth out the experience they had some cool like multitasking and multi-window

81
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,560
features but it didn't take the cake it didn't cut the cheese

82
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,240
slice the omelet uh one thing really annoying off the bat

83
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:11,440
though is that there's no double tap to wake and maybe that setting is disabled

84
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,360
but like that's a pretty standard feature on like every phone nowadays

85
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,160
right okay

86
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,600
starting up the shield that was a little slow but

87
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:29,039
what are you gonna do snapdragon 888 a big upgrade over the snapdragon 855

88
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:32,960
in the surface duo one when this released around a year ago it was

89
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:39,280
already late it was it was already old everyone was running snapdragon 888

90
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:43,120
already put a google tensor in there whoosh every freaking Android

91
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:49,599
manufacturer has to have their own slide over thing is this bing you tricked me

92
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,080
microsoft it is 1350 by 1800 on the old

93
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:56,639
one and 1344 by 1892 on this one that means that this

94
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,280
has a four by three aspect ratio and this has a 13 by nine so the fact that

95
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,680
the aspect ratios are slightly different but the resolution is slightly different points to the fact that they have the

96
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,160
same ppi so these are basically the same screens they haven't like per pixels per

97
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:14,880
inch pixels per square inch but this one also has a 90 hertz refresh

98
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:22,160
rate as opposed to 60 on the older one 800 nits HDR 100 srgb

99
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,440
dci p3 corning gorilla glass invictus

100
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,800
which is the new thing they stopped numbering it 5.8 inch amoled here 5.6

101
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,680
inch on the older one eight gigs of RAM versus the six gigs on this one

102
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:38,160
and one more store they have a 512 gig storage option this time around a little

103
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,759
bit bigger battery and the the three cameras as we talked about they really

104
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,800
are trying to impress you this time around i think with this one they were

105
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:48,400
kind of like it's all about the form factor look

106
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,680
well it's wacky so this is microsoft's launcher it's

107
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,440
been a little while since i took a look at microsoft's Android launcher

108
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:58,800
obviously about a year i'd say swipe down to do something

109
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:03,039
swipe down from you told me to swipe okay this is the

110
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,360
same thing i remember this oh okay you can switch between web search and apps

111
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,759
and web search i'm assuming uses bang of course what is it doing

112
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:18,000
here look at this you seen that the keyboard's over to the side oh no

113
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,680
it's happening again it's happening i don't know why they would do that this

114
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:25,680
is Android 11 by the way if you couldn't tell i think it's supposed to be it's not

115
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Android 12 yet but it probably will get an update the surface 201 is supposed to

116
00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:33,839
get an Android 11 update and it launched with 10 so this is weird this is 90

117
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:37,680
hertz this is supposed to be a 90 hertz display tom green drew barrymore it

118
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:42,719
thought i would want to see that for some reason yeah oh i can check my scalp

119
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,719
from here

120
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,600
you know what i'm coming up with it's sometimes it doesn't recognize your

121
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,839
gesture i i want to go home you know what i'm saying

122
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,399
like look at that i just tried to swipe up and i thought i was starting to type

123
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,279
something go home go away

124
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:07,279
you're free get out of here

125
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:12,160
i'm having a stroke so the big thing you want to do with a dual screen phone run

126
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:16,959
two apps at the same time i i hear that they made this a little easier

127
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,320
what am i looking at jono scan and solve oh

128
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:26,240
this phone lets you cheat on your homework oh there's the multitasking oh tabs what

129
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,680
is this app is this a browser from the multitasking menu you can

130
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:34,080
either okay i want to i want this app to be just on this screen or i want it to

131
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:38,240
be just on this screen or i kind of want to bring it in the middle and span both

132
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,320
screens so that's kind of cool select news article or video no that's politics

133
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,240
uh oh my gosh stop

134
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,760
are my kidneys going to explode because i'm addicted to coffee

135
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,920
let me know microsoft okay so this is cool we're in one app i'm scrolling two

136
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,720
different feeds in the same app that's pretty cool

137
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,320
apparently there's like a drag and drop situation where you can like drag a file

138
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:06,320
in i wanna see that okay so here's what here's what we're gonna do let's take a photo and then i'm

139
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:11,040
going to send you the photo in teams the preview looks pretty good

140
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,640
what about how do i see so this is interesting they got the nice

141
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:20,079
new cameras on the back if you want to see these nice new cameras you have to

142
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,600
hold it like this it's just kind of it's

143
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:26,000
there's some things to get used to which i like i like weird things

144
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:33,120
whoa look at this cool bokeh

145
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,000
do something crazy

146
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
that was so lame

147
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,200
okay that's that's a nice that's a nice ultra wide on there

148
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:45,959
oh man i can get cinematic with it john watch this

149
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,760
that's definitely not the smoothest it could be now we're going to add that to

150
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:55,600
our realtor listing for this for this house you know they got slow-mo they got

151
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,959
photo jonno look at me edge

152
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,560
one note one shortcut that opens

153
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,800
what that was supposed to open it up on one on each on on each screen i'm pretty

154
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,240
sure all right so i i wasn't signed into edge so it freaked out okay so now i'm signed

155
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,920
in if i press this now it should open up yeah okay so we're back into the

156
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,720
workspace so if you often you know watch a youtube video and

157
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,519
like take notes on the other side there's a way to save that as a

158
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,240
workspace and add it as a shortcut to your home screen i don't know how to do

159
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,920
that but apparently you can do it because i just did it so that's kind of cool let's get back to what we're doing

166
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,880
okay interesting so they didn't enable

167
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,839
this sort of drag and drop file thing across the board it's only between

168
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:10,320
microsoft apps wow that was a lot of spit you see that

169
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,480
okay no i'm in i'm in one drive

170
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:17,360
this is just a shortcut to the onedrive app we got two app shortcuts right here that

171
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,279
go to the same app throw this in the garbage

172
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:26,320
i was so excited i was i was so excited to check out this

173
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,920
this phone john oh

174
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:36,000
i don't know how much longer i want to like illustrate the point that uh

175
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:41,399
microsoft's ui on Android their flavor of Android is still half baked how do i

176
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:45,360
go to the home screen disappointed oh yeah yeah all right a

177
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,399
closed one drive reopen one drive i should be signed in i'm signed in now

178
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:54,240
microsoft okay honestly it's borderline unusable when i'm trying to be quick

179
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:58,480
with something like if i if i want to pay attention and i'm like okay i'm

180
00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:01,920
bringing up the multitasking menu and then i'm scrolling around and then i

181
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,200
don't want that anymore and i flick it but if you're trying to do anything fast

182
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:12,959
it doesn't it doesn't do what you want to do i'm trying to bring out multitasking

183
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:12,959
hello pro brave what if i dual screen it

184
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:19,279
this is breaking my brain a little bit but it's it's more intuitive than i thought so

185
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:22,800
that's a super weird speaker setup there's one here and one here and i

186
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,839
guess they're like that's stereo speakers would you ever watch a video like this

187
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,920
so obviously youtube is not optimized for uh the dual screen experience yet i

188
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:36,160
think like google wants to release their own

189
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:41,440
optimizations for Android uh that'll make it better for foldables max volume

190
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,989
but now i'm not in

191
00:13:46,839 --> 00:13:54,000
stereo it's not the worst uh smartphone speaker experience i've ever had in my

192
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,920
life but uh yeah it's not great look at

193
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,160
it it it it doesn't go flush because they added this huge camera bump now

194
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:05,680
that's a lot less satisfying than the old surface duo one that goes completely

195
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:13,279
flush microsoft it's all like the same problems

196
00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:13,279
okay iphone 13 max volume uh comparison

197
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:17,000
way better

198
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,959
yeah this is just obviously way better it doesn't make this like absolutely

199
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:27,199
horrible it's fine it's fine right i wanted to see the notification

200
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:32,480
doohickeys on the inside here so i'm ready for the notification

201
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:36,399
i don't see i don't see anything service dual features glance bar okay

202
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:40,320
will it not do teams uh

203
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:45,279
why would they not have teams let's say i go to teams i check the notifications

204
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,519
i'm just gonna have it like this because i feel like maybe maybe the

205
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:54,560
lights were too bright i couldn't see it i got nothing man i was really hyped i

206
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,560
mean i knew that it wasn't gonna be like revolutionary that i i'd seen the

207
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,320
reviews people were like obviously it's a lot better they improved a ton of

208
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:06,240
stuff on this one but it suffers from basically the exact same issues that the

209
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,680
first one did they fixed the chip they fixed some of the hardware

210
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:16,199
but what is the point of having really cool hardware when your software still

211
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,199
sucks ass microsoft

212
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:22,680
two strikes microsoft subscribe to techlinked
