1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,799
man remember Windows phone did you ever have

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,480
one no no no did you ever want one

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,720
not really no no one did no one ever wanted a Windows phone

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,320
to say that Windows microsoft doesn't have the greatest

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,160
track record with phones is an understatement

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:27,760
i think this is their fifth attempt at

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,720
making a phone and making some sort of

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,280
mobile productivity device the most recent one

9
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,440
was probably a nokia thing

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,760
this is uh probably the one that i'm most excited for

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,600
in terms of well microsoft devices at the very least

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,320
because it's microsoft's first Android phone

13
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,760
it says surface duo you'd be forgiven for thinking this is some sort of

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:59,680
accessory for their pcs but look on the back Android

15
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:01,680
you got that Android says Android on the

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,520
back this is an Android phone let's check it out

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,799
why am i always the one to unbox this is the second

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,600
device that we've gotten from dbrand that has some insane wrap on it

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,439
um wow that's amazing

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:31,119
and that's the phone thanks for watching guys

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,000
um this thing is freaking

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:40,000
thin or it feels really thin it's a really smooth feeling hinge hey

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,799
hey do you guys feel that um this

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,360
is a device that really makes you want to play with it oh that's satisfying too

25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,360
right and you'll notice i have the surface pen here because apparently

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:57,200
it works with it and it can like magnetically attach to the outside

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,479
okay so i guess it stays there but like what are you supposed to put that in

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,960
your pocket come on

29
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,959
mustache okay that's enough fooling around my initial impressions of the device are

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:17,440
very nice feels good in the hand very thin what do

31
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,640
you what do you get with your uh fourteen hundred dollars that you pay

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,959
for this thing that's right surface pro service to a bumper

33
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,959
specially designed to protect your

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,840
device

35
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,720
what am i looking at here it shows you to see how to attach the bumper check

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,879
out the video i'm not i'm not going to a website to

37
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,120
find out how to it

38
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:55,599
without actually putting on the adhesive that's kind of what it ends up looking

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,000
like it's like

40
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,280
oh no it's turning on jono it's turning on i didn't mean to i didn't mean

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,959
to i know i know you want me to

42
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,959
say hello but not yet okay

43
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:20,319
we got also in the box a wall wart

44
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,519
a black wall wart and over here we got

45
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,720
papers do i look at the papers okay sim

46
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:28,640
removal tool okay without even opening it it probably just says congratulations you just got

47
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,040
the the future in in uh phones get get

48
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:39,200
stoked bro with love microsoft

49
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,480
and another black uh usb-c cable

50
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,120
very cool standard phone

51
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,680
packaging type stuff okay let's turn it on

52
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,519
this is the power button oh there it is okay so it's already on hello

53
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,680
hi there let's get started instead of your service do oh man

54
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,319
should we have done this before scan qr code

55
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,799
the there's only one camera and it's on the front hi Linus can i see it

56
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,239
can you see what look at this look at look at yourself in there

57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,200
oh look at the back that's the most important part oh very funny

58
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,560
brand sorry am i ruining your reaction

59
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,479
trying to social distance while you do this they really do hinge

60
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,320
as well don't they that's what i was saying it's really

61
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:26,639
smooth to open yeah that sound oh yeah snapping

62
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,479
oh i know okay i'm sorry i'll let you do your job there's only one

63
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,680
camera on the device so i guess that doesn't mean that

64
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:40,240
you you can't take photos like this and you can't take photos when it's closed

65
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,240
you have to have it in this mode

66
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,960
and anyways that's interesting your phone needs to download and update and

67
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,880
restart it's installing a system update which

68
00:04:48,960 --> 00:05:00,320
screen do i listen to this is i'm pressing next

69
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,030
nothing happened it it loaded for a second and it came right back so i guess

70
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:08,240
that's the answer to that question

71
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,800
oh it's insta it's restarting see that's it that's that's a cool shot right there

72
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,440
you know i think it's beautiful that that microsoft who is like responsible

73
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,320
for their own operating system can just be like you know what Windows phone

74
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,199
didn't really work out we're doing Android checking for updates again

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:33,199
sign in with your google should i sign in or no skip skip for now

76
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,840
sign in with microsoft geez louise

77
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:39,520
okay so this is interesting because it's a microsoft device it's a surface device

78
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,639
normally with a Windows device you sign in with your microsoft account

79
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,320
but on an Android device you sign in with your google account but this one

80
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,199
asks you to sign into both because there's kind of two competing ecosystems

81
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,880
here wait what did i just did i just accept something um

82
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,919
protect your surface duo i'm not i don't need protection

83
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:05,360
oh there's a fingerprint reader okay there's a fingerprint reader on the side

84
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,240
go to your home screen swipe up swipe up

85
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,880
quickly from the bottom okay oh okay this is basically just

86
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:16,639
telling you about Android gestures check out tips anytime i will thanks

87
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,800
what was that sound okay here we wait what where's the

88
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:24,720
notification okay so there's a notification screen but when i

89
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,039
swipe down from the google

90
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:34,160
okay so it's very clear right off the

91
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:40,880
bat that you know this is not your average Android phone

92
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,720
it's two screens they're super wide

93
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,199
it's not like you know this is a regular phone for comparison

94
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,479
look at how wide that is some of the gestures are supposed

95
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,720
to be the same okay so there's the google app

96
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:59,680
but hello so okay let's open photos

97
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:03,520
let's open news you've got these apps along the bottom you've got a dock

98
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,039
like you do on Android normally but when you swipe up on one side to go into

99
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:10,880
multitasking all the icons go to the other side so

100
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,280
then at any time you can still access your entire dock that's pretty cool and the

101
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,880
multitasking menu is vertical instead of horizontal a lot of things

102
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:25,759
are different here it's okay we're going to be all right what is this is this bing shut up

103
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,759
is this bing right now

104
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:36,400
that's hilarious a regular swipe down on

105
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,960
any home screen brings up a bing

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:44,080
search i hope that there's a way to customize that gesture

107
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:46,400
because that's really annoying first

108
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,919
off the thing that's really interesting to me about this

109
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,319
is the fact that it can do this it's like a little laptop

110
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:57,120
so i'm gonna see what the typing experience is like in this mode

111
00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:01,599
notes here we go okay okay let's see what happens

112
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,039
so turn it

113
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:08,319
this way okay look at that

114
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:11,440
i got a little laptop hello

115
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:14,560
fellow co-workers

116
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,599
oh no co-workers

117
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,199
hello flow co-workers oh no this is guys

118
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:24,080
i'm disappointed so oh and it's it's gone all right so far productivity

119
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,680
isn't looking great in vertical mode okay so i could just do

120
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,280
this and i think i read that when you do this

121
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,760
the other screen is automatically disabled so it says double tap to switch screens

122
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,159
so i'm over here i'm using this one and i flip it over it's like oh you want to

123
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:45,839
use this double tap now you're using it on this side but where's the the app didn't come with it

124
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,800
okay that's weird

125
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,000
ah look these things aren't bad

126
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:58,880
okay these are just like things that you have to get used to and i think that's

127
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,560
part of the deal with the surface duo in general

128
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,080
because obviously it's not a regular Android phone if you get this thing

129
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,200
there's to be a bit of a learning curve there's going to be a period where you have to accustom yourself

130
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:15,920
to using a dual screen Android phone okay i'm in settings

131
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,320
i'm in settings and i'm going to keep the notes open on this side so i can

132
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:22,320
keep working as i'm scrolling through

133
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:24,560
settings what

134
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:32,959
that's weird did you see that

135
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,080
i'm you can't type and

136
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,519
scroll it it only takes one input

137
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,560
that's i'm against that

138
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:44,640
is that not dumb or am i being dramatic

139
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:49,120
you can't do two things at once would you do two things

140
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,160
maybe there's two screens why not

141
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,000
okay whatever system updated Android 10.

142
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,800
it's only running Android 10. now i don't blame them for that because this

143
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:02,240
thing is actually also running a last-gen processor it's running a snapdragon 855.

144
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,079
there's six gigs of RAM i think you can get 128 or 256 gigs of storage if you

145
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:14,079
want interestingly i know that the battery is a 3755

146
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:17,200
milliamp hour i think it's like 3700 but apparently they've done a really good

147
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,000
job with battery optimization splitting the cell in two so part of

148
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,240
this batteries over here part of the batteries over here and uh apparently it's lasting all day

149
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,720
we don't have all day to test that because this is ShortCircuit

150
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,440
jono this is kind of interesting normally with the phone you know you can

151
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,000
only see one of your home screens at once but as you swipe through you kind of have access to two

152
00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:43,839
at any one time am i just like am i expecting too much of this device it's not responding

153
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:47,839
how do i get to the app drawer just checking for cortana i don't see cortana

154
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:52,000
anywhere there's no cortana oh that's the other thing i wanted to try

155
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:55,279
a conference call also i can't do it because i have to sign into teams jono

156
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:59,279
never mind i don't want to sign into teams on this

157
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,160
thing i can't is it frozen

158
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:06,800
froze dude

159
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,959
the screen just froze and i had to like rotate it in order to wake it up

160
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,399
so i think i guess i was right about having two full sets of like

161
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:23,839
productivity apps we have all of the google apps i think and all of the microsoft apps

162
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,040
that gives you options i guess

163
00:11:23,839 --> 00:11:31,680
i'm trying to look in the bright side here it's not bloatware it's options

164
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,720
what's that you'd like some tech news okay

165
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:43,839
viewing full screen to exit swipe down from the top gotcha right okay

166
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:43,839
oh stop

167
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
speakers aren't

168
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,920
added the bad after the game's launch

169
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,959
who thought they had there's a lot of bass there the privilege of not being

170
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,279
advertised we also which i didn't mention there's a

171
00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:10,800
single usb-c port on the bottom and a volume rocker and a power bar

172
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,639
fingerprint rear okay there's the there's the ports for you

173
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,839
i mean overall i think this concept is really cool

174
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,200
um i like the idea of having a two screen device

175
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,160
but there are a few things in this iteration that just make it kind of

176
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,480
confusing as a device that launched in 2020 the snapdragon 855 the

177
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,600
giant bezels only six gigs of RAM for something with

178
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,200
two screens i mean i is that a reason why i'm experiencing

179
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:40,959
some of the performance uh hang ups that i that i am maybe

180
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,320
what else was i going to say oh they talked about camera quality

181
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,399
camera quality that's a whole nother thing we haven't even touched yet

182
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,440
welcome to your camera let's get started with some quick tips

183
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:56,959
this is this is a selfie mode and instead of like pressing a button to switch

184
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,040
to rear camera mode you just do this

185
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:02,240
and hopefully it it understands that that's what you did

186
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:07,839
wow the video is like completely vertical what's up

187
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:09,040
guys we having we have so much fun over

188
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:15,120
here i heard a lot of bad things about the camera but this doesn't look horrible

189
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,120
photo

190
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:20,399
oh wow that was really slow

191
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,600
i'm viewing this thing primarily as like a productivity device so i'm not looking

192
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:26,639
for like the phone uh the camera to be like super amazing

193
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,440
like the one thing that's really annoying me so far is the bugs it's the bugs that

194
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:35,120
they got to fix those i can't help but notice that it takes a

195
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,519
good second when you when you switch orientations

196
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:43,600
for it to like react to that which is weird because this device has

197
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:47,199
dual accelerometers gyroscopes and a bunch of

198
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:55,279
other sensors that it uses to to do that like they have one in each side

199
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,800
so very clearly a first-generation

200
00:13:55,279 --> 00:14:02,000
device as evidenced by the specs by kind of the inconsistencies

201
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:09,839
and bugs in the ui design but feeling the the thing

202
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:17,040
is glorious it's so thin it's so

203
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:19,839
light does it fit in the pocket

204
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,880
it does i think it it even though it's so wide i mean it depends on the pocket

205
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:28,480
that you have i would definitely carry this around if it wasn't fourteen hundred dollars

206
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,880
i think this pen might not actually be charged so we might not be

207
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,839
able to use it can you not draw in in the notes app on

208
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:38,560
office dang it dude i want to draw something anyways we can see that the

209
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:43,600
pen is working the pen is something that we'll have to look at in the in the full review

210
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:49,040
but i imagine that it works because they say that it works and everything

211
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,040
i believe what i believe what they say

212
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:57,920
all right conclusions i think this is a really promising device

213
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,680
i can't wait for gen 2 in the meantime

214
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:09,199
i'm more than happy to play around with gen one even if it does have a few bugs

215
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,279
and a horrible horrible skin on it

216
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:16,000
just kidding it's great i love it thanks d brand

217
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:22,720

218
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,720
