After deciding to pass on the newest Note this year for the first time ever (had every note except the first). I'm hoping the Note 11 will inspire me to upgrade, but I've been looking at other offerings that might pull me away from the Note line and Samsung all together.

This new Microsoft Duo has definitely gotten my attention, now to do a little research on this baby. Is it just me or is this pretty impressive?

[debsawyer]

You are not by yourself that thing looks great!

[Gray Area]

Does look good and more refined then most foldables.

Yup. It's amazing. No fragile flexible screens, just thin bezels in the middle and treat it like a multi-monitor device. The only thing that would probably stop me from buying it is that it's probably going to be insanely expensive and if whether my carrier will have it or not.

I'm a one phone guy. Galaxy Note. The S Pen keeps me buying it and ignoring others. Nowadays, I only look at the reviews of one other phone. The Galaxy S+ of that year. So I'll have a good idea of what the year's Galaxy Note will be like.

[vimagreg]

This Surface Duo looks amazing. And let's don't forget Microsoft is working close to Samsung to make Android and Windows 10 closer than ever. Really excited here with possibilities.

Microsoft, please, just shut up and take my money. NOW!

[kixfan]

That's a pretty sweet looking phone! I'd definitely consider it!

I have the same two concerns. I can probably overcome the price (my company will purchase) but it needs to be available for Verizon.

😱😱😱 that looks amazing!! I want that but am afraid it will be $2000. I really love that devices are getting even larger so I won't need reading glasses lol

Agreed. No pen/stylus, not in the running. That thing looks way too big and thick to carry around as a phone anyway.

What about rumours of Samsung combining the S and Note series?

I don't think it is a horrible idea, since the phones are about identical. But they need to make sure to keep the S Pen for sure.

That new windows device looks interesting. I would love to play with it, unsure I would want it for my daily driver though.

This maybe a bit off topic, but the surface X looked like a great tablet/laptop replacement. I might get that next time I am in need of a laptop. Right now I want a tablet, but my note 9 kind of covers that.

[me just saying]

there has been rumors for a while that the s11 and note 11 will have some major hardware changes. I almost skipped n10 because of those rumors. guess we will know after the first of the year

[bigsmoke79]

Really hope they don't combine the S11 and Note 11, there's a few reasons I think they won't main one being they'll want something to release later in the year to compete with the iPhone the the Fold won't do that! and secondly the Note 10 sales were better than the Note 9.

Personally I think if they combine them id go elsewhere, but that's just me.

[pizza_pablo]

I bought the Note 9 in 8/512 with the intent to keep it for at least 4 years.
I have kept it on Oreo because there are too many things that I don't like about Pie.
If Q or R suck as bad or worse, I may stay with the Note 9 forever.

That Surface Duo looks really cool, but I didn't see a pen slot, it'll easily cost two grand and doubtful it will fit in my pocket.

Isn't that what has already been accomplished by the Note 10 and Note 10+ ?
I imagine Samsung would continue that trend and do away with what was formerly the S series, that is until enough folks complain and they bring back the S series, like what happened when they removed the SD card from the S6.

Removal of the SD card was so stupid, thankfully I skip all the even numbers, lol. I went from S5 to Note 7, then had to go to S7, because you know. Now I'm on Note 9. Hopefully will get Note 11 next year.

I had to bring my phone in for repair of the Note 9, thankfully they covered it. Replaces the whole board and cameras, since they were not focusing.

[scribe4food]

I wish there was a stylus silo; that's the only reason I keep getting the Note line. however, this is tempting.

That rumor has been going around since like the Note 5.

Oh, well, then it won't happen?

I'm definitely interested in the MS Duo. IMO they got the "Fold" right. I don't mind the little bezel in the middle of the screen. I won't give up my Note though. Been using it for too long and I love it still.

[EMGSM]

Does look good and more refined then most foldables.

I agree.

Same here. The S Pen is the main reason I keep going back to the note. Although I still look/buy other phones.

[Rhyalus]

I think it looks awesome.

But.

There are clear workflows for me for a handheld device that is small enough to manage in a car, my suit pocket etc... AND an iPad or tablet for larger content consumption or emails, etc AND a laptop for real work.

That Duo device tries to obviate the need for a smaller phone and a tablet, which won’t work for me.

I think it will be a niche product.
