Do you think Microsoft can compete with other Android folding phones?

All right, so which one of us is gonna cave and change the headline?

The production value on this video is A+. Makes me really miss the verses videos.

Golden rule: wait for the second edition. Like the concept, but not there yet.

The quality of this review is flagship material for sure. Love this guys reviews and approach. Here just after MKBHD review

Haven't seen versus since Lauren was with you guys!

verge : we need more viewers verge: what to do 🤔 verges: HITS THE DIETER BUTTON 🔳

OK verge, that title scene in the intro. Where the Duo spins is smooth as AF!!!!!! Daaaammmmmmnnnnnn

Wow the production quality of this video is phenomenal. The Verge just nailed it! Love that versus comeback!

Man, when Dieter starts a review in a sea of darkness, you know it’s gonna be tough.

The editing is dope

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this embargo to end!

Wow. This video has one of the best story and cinematography quality I ever saw. This is art.

It's amazing to see what Dieter can do when he's forced to spend an extra week working on a video like this. Fantastic work. You're the best in the business at this point.

This is my favorite iteration of the folding phone design. I think the clamshell exterior is the right approach, and I hope MS sees fit to make more of these things in order to improve on the issues in the first model.

The production quality is just amazing. It's a joy to watch well made videos.

wow the quality that just goes into making this video is amazing

Finally. It can now be powered on. 😂😂😂😂😂

Definitely feels like a first gen device, but I like where they're going with this.

Dieter would make a great KZfaqr

This is why I always watch Dieter's videos coz the production is lit! 🔥

I really enjoy this guys reviews they are very fresh, a little comical when needed and well thought out. My surface duo arrives today and although i do see a lot of negatives I really feel these issues will be ironed out. Great job on the video!

You are like the most likable tech reviewer in all of youtube, so professional without being boring, entertaining without becoming a clown.

8:35 that synchronized sigh 👌

Can't tell if there are two Dieters or one moving really fast back and forth.

Seriously this was a joy to watch! The quality of your videos just keep improving.

Really awesome production on this review, Verge crew. Maybe my favorite Dieter review ever.

Disappointed that ‘Bieter Dohn’ didn’t get a mention under in the ‘Host’ in credits.

Dieter is so awesome, he's like 85% the reason I even watch the Verge. Also good job to the whole team working on this video, that's some next-level production quality!

Dieter and the verge team, this is the best review I have seen in a long time! Well done! If I could hit double like I would. I love the idea this phone brings. Appeals so much more compared to the Galaxy fold and other foldable attempts. Would be awesome for typing at console or coding. Pity about the camera but there's gotta be some give I guess.

This review isn't a review. It's Art.

When's the making of this video dropping? That's some of the best editing I've seen in a while

Versus with Dieter. Yes, this is how you bring it back.

How I remember Dieter by: "... But... Whatever" 😂😂

The photography and soundtrack on this is amazing! Congrats to everyone

What a throwback with the versus section, very nice 👌

i hope someone can compare the Microsoft Surface Duo, with the LG Velvet with its 2nd screen accessory.

Have been refreshing all day to watch this!

This Intro (and whole video, matter of fact) was fabulous. Well done.

It's december, the Microsoft Surface Duo is a great device at this point. It's software updates have squashed 90% of the bugs so it's a dope device now but unfortunately it may be too late

The new nintendo ds lite looks great

Dieter you always do awesome review incredible how you improve day by day. Keep it going.

I never knew i needed Versus with Dieter.

The Verge deserves so many more subscribers than they have. These production values are so much better than other KZfaq Reviewers in a similar space. And Dieter is easily my favorite reviewer. You guys are literally the only channel I 'Bell'. Love it. Also - I love my Surface Duo.

The verge good production is back finally

“It doesn’t really work for texting in one hand,” as he does so with one hand comfortably....

How to make a Dieter review even better? Put 2 Dieters in the same video 🙌

God, in the first 2 mins, he explained why this thing exists instead of jumping to critique. Great job!

Continuum gonna have a come back

That intro was amazing.

It was an unexpected but awesome surprise to see the return of Versus!!

Dieter is the only reason i watch The Verge videoes

I audibly yelled when I saw Versus! I was very excited

Love how you handled the review man. Kudos.

I missed videos like this from the verge, thanks guys!!!

The two of you having a conversation is so good! Love this format.

Microsoft definitely didn't bring their A game

holy....that intro....woooh 🔥🔥

While I try to be as objective as possible, I'm still what would be considered a Microsoft fan. I'm a .NET developer by trade, I have five Surface devices in my house as well as Surface Headphones, I had two Lumia phones (925 and 950XL), I use Microsoft Launcher on my current phone and I even use Bing. I found that Bing was superior for .NET development and I have no complaints in other areas either, plus I have benefitted from using Microsoft Rewards in the past and will soon have enough to take AU$100 off the price of a pair of Surface Earbuds. I like Microsoft stuff so I use it, but I try not to be a mindless zealot. The Surface Duo is not worth the price to me, whatever that price may be here in Australia. I'm very reliant on NFC for payments and I've also invested big on wireless charging. If Microsoft can include at least those two features in the next iteration then I will likely be in, assuming that they can make other appropriate upgrades and improvements as well. I'll be saving up my Rewards points between now and then and will at least be able to get some relief on the price.

Dammit videos like this are why I love the verge. This could've been so dry but they instead made it probably the best review I'll find. Love the verge and the entire staff. Great job

I had to watch this video twice because the Double Dieters totally stole my attention on the first watch.

I'm very surprised by the lack of optimisation by Microsoft for the surface duo, surely a software update and a patch will fix some of these bugs 👍Microsoft will fix the majority of these issues

The only thing better than Dieter is two Dieters.

What's better than one Dieter? Twoooo dieterssss loved it!!

10:14 The first Surface was a table with a huge touch screen. 🤓

They probably didn't use the cpu brace.

What a quality video. I mean the review was good too but just the way it was shot, the music everything was just fabulous

Guysss YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME 👍👍, I have been a subscriber to the verge for the past 10 years, It really puzzles me why your AWESOME channel isn't booming like other newer channels, why haven't you reached 10 million subscribers yet !!!! Anyways, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I really like your content it is geniune, unique and of superior quality 👍👍💪💪, FOR YEARS TO COME 😄✋

KZfaq reviewer: uhh camera, uhh processor, uhh ram, uhh... End user of Duo: "Wow! Look I'm being evermore productive" Reviewer: What? How did you just do that?

Ur website and channe have inspired me to start KZfaq channe!

00:36 - this shot is out of this world

Couple of things missed in this video, aspect ratios of the screens 4:3 is so superior for everything other than watching a video and no camera bump. Other than that quite a good review. I am going for Duo over Note 20 ultra as I much prefer the aspect ratios, design, dual screen, no camera bump, and because its something new. Looking at my current phone, I rarely take photos anyway and those I take the quality doesnt really matter, its a pic sent in a chat or to instagram which really doesnt require any top notch camera. So tired of phonemakers focusing all their efforts on cameras and creating huge camerabumps that completely detroy the deisng of devices.

Wow Double things!!! Double Satisfaction with Android Os!!! Perfecto. Looking forward to other Project Surface Neo!!! Big is Better Yay 😀😁😀

E-ink Kindle in this form please!

I love the production value of this video. It's awesome. It's a nice change from the shot-from-home videos. Those were nice, but this >>>>>>>>

Verge's video quality is always superb, but I don't know why I feel like this is even better and a step up. The quality of this video is insane.

The surface duo isn't a foldable how you can even compare it with the z fold 2🤷🏼‍♂️ Compare it with maybe ZTE Axon M.

It strangely reminds me of a Nintendo 3DS. Love the design. Great video

I just picked this up a few days ago and it works very well. The camara doesn't compare to my old phone, the galaxy S10, but it works just fine for me. The updates worked out all the issues. I found that most of the so called bugs I came across were user error because it does have a few swipes and gestures to learn. Once I got these down I'm finding that I can hardly put my phone down. Just casual web surfing or anything productivity related is sooo much better with two screens. It's like going from a two monitor computer back to just a one monitor computer. You really feel like you're lacking when using a one screen phone. This is my everyday phone. I took a chance not knowing if I'd like it or hate it. I don't see myself going back to a regular phone again.

Ok, this production is top notch! I hope I enjoy using this device as much as I enjoyed watching this video. Well done guys. Love love love it!

5:14 I read 66 gb of RAM 😂

I'm getting the duo. I'm literally only worried about the camera when traveling. I'll have to carry my s10 too XD. I'll have 3 Fn phones.

I really like the black background super clean and brings the focus directly on you, great info on a pretty interesting device!

0:35 that sequence is beyond praise! Would love to see a BTS

Want it now this would be great for my BUSINESS

If Microsoft has been working on the same hardware for over a year, why is it still buggy? They might as well have updated the hardware while they were NOT delivering a polished product.

I just wanted to say the production quality of the Verge videos are so good!

Dieter could make his own review channel and made huge fortunes of it tbh

10:48 It's actually their 6th attempt, remember Microsoft Kin?

Loved the creative interface - great editing, nice sound, and creative content. I am rendering my review of the Surface 1.0 DUO, yeah, those bezels are too large.

Enjoy the duo of Dieter, More then the Surface Duo.

Shoutout to The Verge's production team, the videos keeps getting better. Hoping your pay does justice to it!

This video is something to show you mum. Very very nice to watch!

Definitely not worth $1400.00 but for $300.00 it's super cool!

Best review so far in my opinion, and I have watched all. (CNET, Windows central, Marques Brownlee, and more) What people need to understand is this is not a PLAY PHONE. Microsoft is not aiming for gamers, photographers, movie watcher, etc. It is a WORK PHONE. The main focus is productivity. People like me... Got to pull over right quick when I received that important text to check my email, while on an important conference call.... And had to check the email, save the attachment, send a received receipt, sign the document, text the client a notification, email contract to all parties... All while still on my important call. Who cares about cameras? I believe all the lagging issues will soon be corrected through updates. I don't care for 5g either. This phone will be great for business use. I can always play my your surface book , surface pro, or my computer if I want. Productivity is number 1 when you're always on the move. I can sit it on my car dashboard for video conferencing too!? Thanks Microsoft!!

It sounded like Nilay was teasing Lauren about the "twins" on the flagship podcast. But he was trying to gauge her reaction to Deiter actually stealing her bit.

Yaaay! I think I commented how I ,used Versus format not that long ago! Thanks, The Verge for listening!

Dude is the highest quality reviewer around

Well made Deiter. One question: What if we try to look at this device not as a phone but as a tablet? A tablet with a physical split screen for conducive multi tasking?

This video was one of the most enjoyable things I have watched in a long time on KZfaq. Well done sir!!
