WEBVTT

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.799
man remember Windows phone did you ever have

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.480
one no no no did you ever want one

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:16.720
not really no no one did no one ever wanted a Windows phone

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:20.320
to say that Windows microsoft doesn't have the greatest

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.160
track record with phones is an understatement

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:27.760
i think this is their fifth attempt at

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:30.720
making a phone and making some sort of

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:35.280
mobile productivity device the most recent one

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:37.440
was probably a nokia thing

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.760
this is uh probably the one that i'm most excited for

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.600
in terms of well microsoft devices at the very least

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.320
because it's microsoft's first Android phone

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:51.760
it says surface duo you'd be forgiven for thinking this is some sort of

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:59.680
accessory for their pcs but look on the back Android

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:01.680
you got that Android says Android on the

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.520
back this is an Android phone let's check it out

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.799
why am i always the one to unbox this is the second

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.600
device that we've gotten from dbrand that has some insane wrap on it

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.439
um wow that's amazing

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:31.119
and that's the phone thanks for watching guys

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:34.000
um this thing is freaking

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:40.000
thin or it feels really thin it's a really smooth feeling hinge hey

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.799
hey do you guys feel that um this

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

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.360
right and you'll notice i have the surface pen here because apparently

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:57.200
it works with it and it can like magnetically attach to the outside

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

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.960
your pocket come on

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.959
mustache okay that's enough fooling around my initial impressions of the device are

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:17.440
very nice feels good in the hand very thin what do

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:20.640
you what do you get with your uh fourteen hundred dollars that you pay

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:26.959
for this thing that's right surface pro service to a bumper

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:26.959
specially designed to protect your

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.840
device

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

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:50.879
out the video i'm not i'm not going to a website to

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.120
find out how to it

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.599
without actually putting on the adhesive that's kind of what it ends up looking

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.000
like it's like

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

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:10.959
to i know i know you want me to

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.959
say hello but not yet okay

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:20.319
we got also in the box a wall wart

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.519
a black wall wart and over here we got

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.720
papers do i look at the papers okay sim

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:28.640
removal tool okay without even opening it it probably just says congratulations you just got

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:33.040
the the future in in uh phones get get

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:39.200
stoked bro with love microsoft

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.480
and another black uh usb-c cable

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.120
very cool standard phone

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:47.680
packaging type stuff okay let's turn it on

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.519
this is the power button oh there it is okay so it's already on hello

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.680
hi there let's get started instead of your service do oh man

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.319
should we have done this before scan qr code

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

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:06.239
can you see what look at this look at look at yourself in there

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.200
oh look at the back that's the most important part oh very funny

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.560
brand sorry am i ruining your reaction

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.479
trying to social distance while you do this they really do hinge

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.320
as well don't they that's what i was saying it's really

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:26.639
smooth to open yeah that sound oh yeah snapping

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

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.680
camera on the device so i guess that doesn't mean that

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

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.240
you have to have it in this mode

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:46.960
and anyways that's interesting your phone needs to download and update and

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.880
restart it's installing a system update which

00:04:48.960 --> 00:05:00.320
screen do i listen to this is i'm pressing next

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:04.030
nothing happened it it loaded for a second and it came right back so i guess

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:08.240
that's the answer to that question

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

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.440
you know i think it's beautiful that that microsoft who is like responsible

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.320
for their own operating system can just be like you know what Windows phone

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:27.199
didn't really work out we're doing Android checking for updates again

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:33.199
sign in with your google should i sign in or no skip skip for now

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:35.840
sign in with microsoft geez louise

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:39.520
okay so this is interesting because it's a microsoft device it's a surface device

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.639
normally with a Windows device you sign in with your microsoft account

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.320
but on an Android device you sign in with your google account but this one

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.199
asks you to sign into both because there's kind of two competing ecosystems

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:56.880
here wait what did i just did i just accept something um

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:59.919
protect your surface duo i'm not i don't need protection

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:05.360
oh there's a fingerprint reader okay there's a fingerprint reader on the side

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:06.240
go to your home screen swipe up swipe up

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.880
quickly from the bottom okay oh okay this is basically just

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:16.639
telling you about Android gestures check out tips anytime i will thanks

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.800
what was that sound okay here we wait what where's the

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:24.720
notification okay so there's a notification screen but when i

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.039
swipe down from the google

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:34.160
okay so it's very clear right off the

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:40.880
bat that you know this is not your average Android phone

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:42.720
it's two screens they're super wide

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:47.199
it's not like you know this is a regular phone for comparison

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.479
look at how wide that is some of the gestures are supposed

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:56.720
to be the same okay so there's the google app

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:59.680
but hello so okay let's open photos

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

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

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:10.880
multitasking all the icons go to the other side so

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

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.880
multitasking menu is vertical instead of horizontal a lot of things

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

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.759
is this bing right now

00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:36.400
that's hilarious a regular swipe down on

00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.960
any home screen brings up a bing

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:44.080
search i hope that there's a way to customize that gesture

00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:46.400
because that's really annoying first

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:49.919
off the thing that's really interesting to me about this

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:52.319
is the fact that it can do this it's like a little laptop

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:57.120
so i'm gonna see what the typing experience is like in this mode

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:01.599
notes here we go okay okay let's see what happens

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:05.039
so turn it

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:08.319
this way okay look at that

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:11.440
i got a little laptop hello

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.560
fellow co-workers

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:17.599
oh no co-workers

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.199
hello flow co-workers oh no this is guys

00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:24.080
i'm disappointed so oh and it's it's gone all right so far productivity

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.680
isn't looking great in vertical mode okay so i could just do

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:31.280
this and i think i read that when you do this

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:37.760
the other screen is automatically disabled so it says double tap to switch screens

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

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

00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:50.800
okay that's weird

00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.000
ah look these things aren't bad

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

00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:02.560
part of the deal with the surface duo in general

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:08.080
because obviously it's not a regular Android phone if you get this thing

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

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:15.920
to using a dual screen Android phone okay i'm in settings

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

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:22.320
keep working as i'm scrolling through

00:09:20.839 --> 00:09:24.560
settings what

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.959
that's weird did you see that

00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:36.080
i'm you can't type and

00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:39.519
scroll it it only takes one input

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:42.560
that's i'm against that

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.640
is that not dumb or am i being dramatic

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.120
you can't do two things at once would you do two things

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.160
maybe there's two screens why not

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.000
okay whatever system updated Android 10.

00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:56.800
it's only running Android 10. now i don't blame them for that because this

00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:02.240
thing is actually also running a last-gen processor it's running a snapdragon 855.

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

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:14.079
want interestingly i know that the battery is a 3755

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:17.200
milliamp hour i think it's like 3700 but apparently they've done a really good

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.000
job with battery optimization splitting the cell in two so part of

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

00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:30.720
we don't have all day to test that because this is ShortCircuit

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.440
jono this is kind of interesting normally with the phone you know you can

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

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

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

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:52.000
anywhere there's no cortana oh that's the other thing i wanted to try

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

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:59.279
never mind i don't want to sign into teams on this

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:02.160
thing i can't is it frozen

00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:06.800
froze dude

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

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.399
so i think i guess i was right about having two full sets of like

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

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:25.040
that gives you options i guess

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

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:34.720
what's that you'd like some tech news okay

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:43.839
viewing full screen to exit swipe down from the top gotcha right okay

00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:43.839
oh stop

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:53.440
speakers aren't

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:59.920
added the bad after the game's launch

00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:02.959
who thought they had there's a lot of bass there the privilege of not being

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:07.279
advertised we also which i didn't mention there's a

00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:10.800
single usb-c port on the bottom and a volume rocker and a power bar

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.639
fingerprint rear okay there's the there's the ports for you

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:17.839
i mean overall i think this concept is really cool

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:21.200
um i like the idea of having a two screen device

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.160
but there are a few things in this iteration that just make it kind of

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.480
confusing as a device that launched in 2020 the snapdragon 855 the

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.600
giant bezels only six gigs of RAM for something with

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.200
two screens i mean i is that a reason why i'm experiencing

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:40.959
some of the performance uh hang ups that i that i am maybe

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:44.320
what else was i going to say oh they talked about camera quality

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.399
camera quality that's a whole nother thing we haven't even touched yet

00:12:46.160 --> 00:12:51.440
welcome to your camera let's get started with some quick tips

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:56.959
this is this is a selfie mode and instead of like pressing a button to switch

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:59.040
to rear camera mode you just do this

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:02.240
and hopefully it it understands that that's what you did

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:07.839
wow the video is like completely vertical what's up

00:13:04.839 --> 00:13:09.040
guys we having we have so much fun over

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

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.120
photo

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:20.399
oh wow that was really slow

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:23.600
i'm viewing this thing primarily as like a productivity device so i'm not looking

00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:26.639
for like the phone uh the camera to be like super amazing

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

00:13:29.839 --> 00:13:35.120
they got to fix those i can't help but notice that it takes a

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:39.519
good second when you when you switch orientations

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:43.600
for it to like react to that which is weird because this device has

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:47.199
dual accelerometers gyroscopes and a bunch of

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:55.279
other sensors that it uses to to do that like they have one in each side

00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:56.800
so very clearly a first-generation

00:13:55.279 --> 00:14:02.000
device as evidenced by the specs by kind of the inconsistencies

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:09.839
and bugs in the ui design but feeling the the thing

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:17.040
is glorious it's so thin it's so

00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:19.839
light does it fit in the pocket

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

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:28.480
that you have i would definitely carry this around if it wasn't fourteen hundred dollars

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:32.880
i think this pen might not actually be charged so we might not be

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:35.839
able to use it can you not draw in in the notes app on

00:14:33.839 --> 00:14:38.560
office dang it dude i want to draw something anyways we can see that the

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

00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:49.040
but i imagine that it works because they say that it works and everything

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.040
i believe what i believe what they say

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:57.920
all right conclusions i think this is a really promising device

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:59.680
i can't wait for gen 2 in the meantime

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

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:11.279
and a horrible horrible skin on it

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:16.000

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:22.720
