In this launch-event hands-on, the reviewer praised the sturdy-feeling hardware, nearly invisible crease, matte inner screen, and big-screen multitasking. The missing telephoto camera disappointed her, while long-term fold durability and battery life remain untested. Price is expected to deter buyers. Although the Duo changed her previous lack of interest in foldables, she remains undecided and is only considering it pending battery testing, so there is no buying verdict yet. Its clearest appeal is to buyers who value tablet-like multitasking in a pocketable phone.
