      I owned one, had horrible freezing issues and screens going unavailable randomly, making folded use a horrible game of flipping the phone to get the other screen, but now it switched to the other screen. Sent it for repairs under warranty for one screen having flickering issues, they sent me a new one. The new one was still bad, but at least both screens worked.

      Battery life was pretty bad. Had like a 2500mah battery which with two screens drains very quickly. I used it for a few months as a primary phone and put it in a drawer. It was several versions of android behind. Took it out one year later, it worked fine, used it for a while... But these phones are made of glass, and there wasn't a proper case for it because of the hinge, so Microsoft sends you these rubber bumpers you glue onto the phone which come off easily over time, official replacement "case" which was just rubber cost like $40 bucks, which made me buy double sided adhesive to keep using the original.

      Anyways some people like to have multiple phones and it's good as a second phone if you spend all day near a charger. For anything else it's impractical.

      Reading on it was great, though. Haven't tried a folding or hinge phone since

    Definitely a failure on Microsoft's part that will make anyone wary of trying the inevitable foldable and slab phones they'll release. You don't have to declare a Duo 3 is coming or anything right now, but you have to say that you're supporting the device that came out less than 2 years ago.

    Do they have anything successful besides windows which even getting bad light due to privacy relates stuffs.

    Back in 2011 I had Lumia 710. that device performed exceptionally well compared to Android alternatives but Microsoft fuvked it up by going apple way , making everything closed source, free games on Android were paid on windows phone os.
