People have been very quick to comment negatively on this device and to be fair there is a lot on the software and a little on the hardware that is wanting - but they have to remember this is a Gen1 device. There are lots of new tech that took the second or third iteration to hit their stride and I don't think the Duo is an exception - if you can look past the shortcomings they got ALOT right and the vision, when it comes through, is powerful.
There has been times I get frustrated with mine, but when those moments of flow occur using both screens or the many use forms, I see how dual screens is the next step and I cant wait for the Duo 2 (I do definitely hope on more powerful specs and a battery to match tho 😁)!
TLDR;
$600 is a solid deal for a Gen1 glimpse into the future with real dual-screen devices (this and the Galaxy Fold, basically). But you have to really experience it for a while to see if its for you or not!
The starting price was flagship level and the processor, RAM, and camera (singular) were letdowns. I think $700-800 starting out would have sold this thing much better. I'm using an iPhone right now because the SE for $320 was too good to pass up without a contract but I've been on Android and iOS and Windows Phone (RIP) and miss fun phones. My Lumia 1520 was one of my favorite phones. I was hoping Microsoft would bring it home with this one and I hope they keep pushing forward with it.
