WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.160
you know me i'm a bit of a quirky boy i'm a quirky boy

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.719
i like when like device manufacturers are like you know we're not gonna make a

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

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:23.279
one really kind of scratched that itch for me which is interesting because as a

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:29.119
online person i like to cover those kind of weird kooky things would i buy them

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.199
do i shop for them no unlike jono

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

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

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

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:49.120
unbox it let's take a look oh it's beautiful the paper they chose

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

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

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

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:03.840
that the first phone did not have a giant camera

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:08.400
bump like this oh i ripped it

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.760
oh you're supposed to open it this is the weirdest unwrapping

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.760
situation ever interesting

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

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.840
older one i don't think it had or there's a dbrand skin

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.960
of course what else is in the box this is probably just documentation and a sim

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.680
card removal tool and do i need to know any of this

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.200
no power adapter everyone's doing it save the planet

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.280
copy apple you know microsoft's taking another

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.280
uh gander at this and they look very

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.439
similar although the most obvious difference looking at them here is the

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.840
curved screen this is a flat screen on the first surface duo and on this one

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:00.320
you can see that the inside of the screen

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.759
like the screen curves into the inside a little bit into

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.920
the hinge so that when you close it

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:11.680
you can see a little bit of the screen and apparently there will be

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:16.480
notifications there so on the top we got nothing on the side we have a very

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:21.200
similar setup except we have

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.040
this fingerprint sensor that's separate from the power button in the volume

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:29.120
rocker on the surface duo 2 i think that the fingerprint sensor is integrated

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:35.680
into the power button volume rocker and the sim card slot is now on the bottom

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.560
of the device next to the centered usb-c

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

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:46.720
dang it jono what are you are you pre-ordering something get it out of the

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.720
cart get it out of there so the other obvious difference with

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

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:02.720
right yeah a single camera on the inside and their reasoning here was that like

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

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

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

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.159
bit about that i mean the five people who bought the phone

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:24.000
i forget how much it started at but it was like fifteen hundred dollars sixteen hundred

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

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

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:39.160
then also a single camera on the inside once more

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.440
we got 400 more cameras

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.040
so yeah there's a lot of stuff to be excited about with the new device

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.680
although how much does it retail for it starts at 1500 again wow the confidence

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.000
this is basically two like wide phones strapped together which

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.640
is not like a super new thing in the industry lg has their has their two

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:04.080
phone system thing there's the galaxy fold obviously that's a single screen

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

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.360
you no no we'll just we'll just stay in this

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.959
space and just reflect on what brought us here so we're gonna

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:19.359
take a look at the actual software the device

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:23.680
i tell you about our sponsor which is of course d brand because they sent they

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

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

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.840
into the atmosphere and it causes global warming

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.040
for today's sponsor read i've been handed this very crumpled piece of paper

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.479
thanks dbrand as i read through this script it's becoming increasingly

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.000
obvious that i won't be advertising any of dbrand's products instead i'm

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.479
apparently going to be reading a tongue twister

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

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

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.160
better butter will make my batter better so she bought some better butter better

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

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:21.280
of butter better butter

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:28.560
my editors are now going to put a link on the screen where you can purchase

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:32.720
dbrand products each purchase will go towards funding what i can only imagine

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.680
is an entire department dedicated to tormenting us

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:41.520
in conclusion don't inhale helium because the internet says that's

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.960
dangerous apparently and also get a deeper put a dbrand skin on your

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:51.039
so the software is one of the big reasons people were kind of disappointed

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.720
by the surface duo one they did not do enough to

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.680
smooth out the experience they had some cool like multitasking and multi-window

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:04.560
features but it didn't take the cake it didn't cut the cheese

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:08.240
slice the omelet uh one thing really annoying off the bat

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:11.440
though is that there's no double tap to wake and maybe that setting is disabled

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.360
but like that's a pretty standard feature on like every phone nowadays

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:18.160
right okay

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:23.600
starting up the shield that was a little slow but

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:29.039
what are you gonna do snapdragon 888 a big upgrade over the snapdragon 855

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:32.960
in the surface duo one when this released around a year ago it was

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:39.280
already late it was it was already old everyone was running snapdragon 888

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:43.120
already put a google tensor in there whoosh every freaking Android

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:49.599
manufacturer has to have their own slide over thing is this bing you tricked me

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:52.080
microsoft it is 1350 by 1800 on the old

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:56.639
one and 1344 by 1892 on this one that means that this

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

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

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.160
same ppi so these are basically the same screens they haven't like per pixels per

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:14.880
inch pixels per square inch but this one also has a 90 hertz refresh

00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:22.160
rate as opposed to 60 on the older one 800 nits HDR 100 srgb

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.440
dci p3 corning gorilla glass invictus

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:28.800
which is the new thing they stopped numbering it 5.8 inch amoled here 5.6

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:33.680
inch on the older one eight gigs of RAM versus the six gigs on this one

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:38.160
and one more store they have a 512 gig storage option this time around a little

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:41.759
bit bigger battery and the the three cameras as we talked about they really

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.800
are trying to impress you this time around i think with this one they were

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:48.400
kind of like it's all about the form factor look

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.680
well it's wacky so this is microsoft's launcher it's

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:55.440
been a little while since i took a look at microsoft's Android launcher

00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:58.800
obviously about a year i'd say swipe down to do something

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:03.039
swipe down from you told me to swipe okay this is the

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:07.360
same thing i remember this oh okay you can switch between web search and apps

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:11.759
and web search i'm assuming uses bang of course what is it doing

00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:18.000
here look at this you seen that the keyboard's over to the side oh no

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

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

00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:29.520
Android 12 yet but it probably will get an update the surface 201 is supposed to

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

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:37.680
hertz this is supposed to be a 90 hertz display tom green drew barrymore it

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

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.719
from here

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:51.600
you know what i'm coming up with it's sometimes it doesn't recognize your

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.839
gesture i i want to go home you know what i'm saying

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

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:03.279
something go home go away

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:07.279
you're free get out of here

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

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:16.959
two apps at the same time i i hear that they made this a little easier

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:20.320
what am i looking at jono scan and solve oh

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:26.240
this phone lets you cheat on your homework oh there's the multitasking oh tabs what

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:29.680
is this app is this a browser from the multitasking menu you can

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

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

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:42.320
screens so that's kind of cool select news article or video no that's politics

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.240
uh oh my gosh stop

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:49.760
are my kidneys going to explode because i'm addicted to coffee

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

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.720
different feeds in the same app that's pretty cool

00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:00.320
apparently there's like a drag and drop situation where you can like drag a file

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

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:11.040
going to send you the photo in teams the preview looks pretty good

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.640
what about how do i see so this is interesting they got the nice

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

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.600
hold it like this it's just kind of it's

00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:26.000
there's some things to get used to which i like i like weird things

00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:33.120
whoa look at this cool bokeh

00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:36.000
do something crazy

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.000
that was so lame

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:41.200
okay that's that's a nice that's a nice ultra wide on there

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:45.959
oh man i can get cinematic with it john watch this

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

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:55.600
our realtor listing for this for this house you know they got slow-mo they got

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.959
photo jonno look at me edge

00:10:57.920 --> 00:11:02.560
one note one shortcut that opens

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

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

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

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:20.720
workspace so if you often you know watch a youtube video and

00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:23.519
like take notes on the other side there's a way to save that as a

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

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

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:37.600
so i'm going to go to photos i'm going to take the photo of you

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.800
and i'm going to drag no it won't do that in the photos app do i

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:44.320
need to go to like the files app or something

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:47.920
can i drag that what can i drag microsoft i just want to

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:53.200
drag something what so there's no drag and drop

00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:56.800
they lied to me has this been updated

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.880
okay interesting so they didn't enable

00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:03.839
this sort of drag and drop file thing across the board it's only between

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:10.320
microsoft apps wow that was a lot of spit you see that

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:12.480
okay no i'm in i'm in one drive

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

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:21.279
go to the same app throw this in the garbage

00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:26.320
i was so excited i was i was so excited to check out this

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.920
this phone john oh

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:36.000
i don't know how much longer i want to like illustrate the point that uh

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:41.399
microsoft's ui on Android their flavor of Android is still half baked how do i

00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:45.360
go to the home screen disappointed oh yeah yeah all right a

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:50.399
closed one drive reopen one drive i should be signed in i'm signed in now

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:54.240
microsoft okay honestly it's borderline unusable when i'm trying to be quick

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

00:12:56.079 --> 00:13:01.920
bringing up the multitasking menu and then i'm scrolling around and then i

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

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

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.959
hello pro brave what if i dual screen it

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

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.800
that's a super weird speaker setup there's one here and one here and i

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:27.839
guess they're like that's stereo speakers would you ever watch a video like this

00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:31.920
so obviously youtube is not optimized for uh the dual screen experience yet i

00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:36.160
think like google wants to release their own

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:41.440
optimizations for Android uh that'll make it better for foldables max volume

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.989
but now i'm not in

00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:54.000
stereo it's not the worst uh smartphone speaker experience i've ever had in my

00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:55.920
life but uh yeah it's not great look at

00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:00.160
it it it it doesn't go flush because they added this huge camera bump now

00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:05.680
that's a lot less satisfying than the old surface duo one that goes completely

00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:13.279
flush microsoft it's all like the same problems

00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:13.279
okay iphone 13 max volume uh comparison

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:17.000
way better

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:22.959
yeah this is just obviously way better it doesn't make this like absolutely

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:27.199
horrible it's fine it's fine right i wanted to see the notification

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:32.480
doohickeys on the inside here so i'm ready for the notification

00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:36.399
i don't see i don't see anything service dual features glance bar okay

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:40.320
will it not do teams uh

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

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:49.519
i'm just gonna have it like this because i feel like maybe maybe the

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

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

00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:02.320
reviews people were like obviously it's a lot better they improved a ton of

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:06.240
stuff on this one but it suffers from basically the exact same issues that the

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:09.680
first one did they fixed the chip they fixed some of the hardware

00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:16.199
but what is the point of having really cool hardware when your software still

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:16.199
sucks ass microsoft

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.680
two strikes microsoft subscribe to techlinked
