Battery life is just average for me, but still get through the day. Use others phones as well though, so not sure it would get through the day as a primary device. The Surface pen can attach magnetically to the edge of the Duo, it will hold, but not a great hold, still have to be careful it doesn't get knocked off, but better than nothing.
Ditto for me. The slim pen sticks better than the regular surface pen.
Battery life is ok but I haven’t pushed it yet.

The Surface Duo may be a device that polarizes opinion but you have to hand it to Microsoft for developing such a talked-about product that is only available

I was looking forward to the Duo coming to the UK, however at that starting price, it's ridiculous. The 256GB version is £1,449 that is absurd for a device that has been out in the US since last year! There is no way in hell I'm buying one at that price.
I will probably wait for version 2 or 3 instead.
Interesting device, once it ships with the next Windows (currently code named Windows10X) or a Google Free Android and doesn’t cost almost 1500$ over here...
The biggest hardware limitations of the Duo Gen1 (No NFC, terrible camera, old specs when released) are rumored to be solved with the Duo Gen2, possibly coming later this year (October-ish).
I’d love to have a pocketable cellular mobile device that I can dock for a full desktop experience on an external monitor.
Unfortunately cellular iPad (Mini) are artificially limited/gimped for cellular calls/SIM services 🤬

You know I've been thinking of getting a Surface Duo now that it's $300 and that the software issues got fixed. I've been hearing the Duo is actually really good now.
