As one of the 17 people on the planet who daily drives the Surface Duo 2, which I traded up from my SD1 for on launch day - I really hope they pull it together for this "maybe/maybe not" SD3 next winter.
This is my all time favorite device I've ever owned, and every day I dread the standard wear and tear knowing the few New In Box Surface Duo 2 devices are getting more and more expensive by the day, and there are literally 0 devices in this category besides the SD2.
Sad times.
I moved from the SD1 to the Samsung Fold and love it.
I've been considering the GFold5 if my SD2 bites the dust, at least over a Pixel Fold. But I'm making this thing run until it completely dies.
I just worry about those plastic feeling screens, such as on my wife's GFlex4- I'm always worried I'd scratch the interior with a fingernail and a stylus for editing a spreadsheet is just a no go, from what I understand. Have they improved in that regard?
I haven't had any issues with the inner screen and it doesn't feel soft to me. I didn't even put a protector on it. I do pay for the extra Samsung insurance every month, tho.
