"... Duo 2 fails as a big screen phone..."
Complains that this 5.3 inch device is too big to carry around. Then compares watching videos on it with an iPhone 11 pro max, which is entire 1.1 inches bigger than the duo.

This article is way off point and rife with contradictions.
As stated in the article it's the reviewers job to look at a device unobjectively. All this article does is complain it doesn't suit your needs.

This device definitely isn't for everyone but it's a great dual screen device. It shouldn't be compared to other foldable phones because the duo has a completely different vision than other foldables (it has two screens, not one big folding screen).
And while the gap between the screens is probably its biggest downfall in terms of aesthetics. It's not much different than one folding screen that's constantly warped by the hinge underneath it and it better suits the idea behind the phone which is ultimately multitasking and productivity.

I agree. The mention about objectivity is simply to try and ward off and pre empt comments about the niche target use case so as to bring more credibility to his argument. But it fails, as he clearly is just another person who doesn't get it. Perhaps he thinks all phones should be the same, or that people use them just for media consumption and want a big uninterrupted space. It's understandable mind you, given he is an iPhone user, that he cares more about showiness than features.
