- Hey guys, it's Justine,
and today we have the brand new Microsoft Surface Duo.
So this is just gonna be
an unboxing and a first look at it.
And then we will have a full review
after I've had some time to spend with it and test it out.
But today it is here.
Oh!
I feel like when I opened this,
that there should have been music playing ,
there should have been lights,
also it looks like a cake box.
Maybe there's not a Surface Duo,
maybe there's cake in here.
Okay, I don't think there's cake.
(box dragging on table)
So this is the press kit.
They sent this out
to a bunch of reviewers and journalists,
for us to get a chance to show it to you guys.
There it is, oh, wow!
We've also got some Microsoft Surface earbuds
and the Duo.
Here it is, it's in this box.
It's inside, this is real.
So this is cool because this device
is kind of reinventing the way that you're using devices.
And they've been very adamant
about the way that these two displays work together.
So you really can have two separate experiences
happening at the same time.
So this is the 256 gig version.
There are two different versions.
There's one that is a 128.
So that'll allow you to decide
which size storage you would like.
This has six gigs of RAM
with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
So let's open it up and get that first look.
Oh man, this looks so cool.
This looks dope, I'm so excited.
You guys, I'm freaking out.
This is a first touch,
this is a first hold,
this is the first feel of the Microsoft Surface Duo.
It feels nice.
One of the things that I think I was worried about with this
is it was gonna feel sort of plasticky.
So it was not gonna have like a substantial feel to it.
Oh, it's so shiny.
Look at this.
That was satisfying.
This, the open,
the opening is incredibly satisfying.
So smooth.
So during the press conference,
they kept calling the different ways that you hold this
a pose.
So there's various poses that you guys saw
at the beginning of this video, on the box.
So let's go through those right now.
Walk mode, please.
Compose mode.
Single screen mode.
I think this is my personal favorite,
tent mode.
I don't know how they came up with that name.
I mean they really outdid themselves with that one.
And then last but not least, there's peek mode.
So you just can kinda like take a little look inside.
Peek mode.
Peek, like you're taking a peek.
Let's take a look and see what else is in the box.
And then we'll talk more about the device.
Oh, Surface Duo Bumper,
specifically designed to protect your device.
We all know I'm gonna need this.
It just kinda reminds me of
like, when you would like go bowling when you were younger
and they would put bumpers on the bowling alley,
so that you would always get some pins.
I mean, maybe it was just me.
I thought I was a champion.
I think I can figure this out
without watching the tutorial video.
I'm not sure.
I think we're gonna go bumperless.
But, that's just me.
Oh, surprise.
USB-C cable.
This looks to be
our SIM card ejector.
Probably instructions,
this is probably the charging brick.
Surprise.
It's almost like I'm a mind reader.
- [Tyler] That is the best looking dual screen, I'm
- Do you wanna touch it - [Tyler] I wanna touch it,
yeah. - Guys, Tyler's sold.
- [Tyler] I wanna-- - Like it's honestly
like just, it's really cool.
I know! - [Tyler] Oh my.
- It's like, they're not,
they're not trying to be like, "Hey,
we're one big screen."
It's like dual monitors, but,
at a baby size.
Shoot, it's so cool.
We all know that I'm might or might not
be a little dramatic sometimes when I'm unboxing things,
I've been trying to tone it down,
but I'm really struggling to keep my excitement under wraps
because, this just looks really good.
(upbeat music)
Like the feel of it,
I haven't even turned the thing on yet.
So it is powered by USB-C
and over here
is where you'd be putting your SIM card.
Let's give you a nice look.
We've got our power button and the volume.
So this does only have one camera.
It is a six megapixel camera.
But with this,
this could be a front facing camera
or a back facing camera.
I know.
I'm pretty sure that this is not going to be
the best camera that is on a smartphone right now.
There are so many phones out that have
such high end cameras.
It is six megapixels,
I haven't tried it out yet,
so I can't say what the photos look like.
But of course you better believe
that we will be doing a video and photo test.
And here's the hinge mechanism.
During the press event,
they were showing all of the technology
and the research that they did
to make this as effective as possible.
I think the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
was rated for 200,000 folds.
Whereas this is
just, it's a hinge.
You're not folding the actual class device itself.
I don't even think that this is something that
is in the same category as those foldable devices,
because yes, this is fold,
but there are two different screens.
And the reason that this is so special
is because they're making these two screens
kind of like dual monitors.
So just picture yourself,
if you're working on your computer
and you have dual monitors,
this gives you a lot more screen real estate
to be able to do things.
So you're able to open Android apps,
Microsoft 365 apps,
and they will all work on this device.
Which is kind of crazy if you think about it,
like Microsoft and Android teaming up,
getting together saying "What's up,
let's make a cool device and let's make this happen".
Pretty cool.
So I wanted to do a size comparison
to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
So this is the bigger iPhone,
but I wanted you guys to be able to see,
if you know what size this phone is,
to kind of give you a reference point
of the size of this device.
And then if we put it right on top of it,
a little bit thinner.
But the actual fitness of the device,
it's almost about the same as the iPhone.
So here's the thinness when compared to one of the sides.
So there's one side compared to the thickness of the iPhone.
I mean, if you can make a sandwich,
definitely wouldn't recommend doing that, but
if you wanted to,
you could...
And so here it is in comparison to the iPhone,
when it's all unfolded.
And as far as weight,
I've very bad judgment,
but they feel about the same.
This is a scientific weight measurement right now.
So they're not calling this device a phone.
I'm not really sure what I would call it
because it's not really a tablets.
It is sort of in its own new category.
Thank you guys so much for watching,
I look forward to doing a full review and test of this.
If there's anything that you guys would like us to test out,
leave it in the comments below if you have any questions,
we will try to address those
and test them in the next video.
Don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell,
so you'll be notified
when I post this video and any other new ones.
With that, I will see you guys later.
Bye, I'm gonna go finally turn this on now.
But you guys can't see it yet.
It's gone.
Tyler, you can't take that because look what this says.
This says the we're one of the first 50 devices,
one of the first 50.
Oh my God, we gotta go find the other 49.
Do you think we should all meet up?
(mumbles) a COVID meetup?
Isn't it released?
- [Tyler] It's seriously,
it's the, I feel like it's the only like good new thing,
like, since like (mumbles)
(smooth dance music)
