How Surface Duo struggles with problems unknown to normal phones
Notifications - this problem has long been solved by almost all mobile phone manufacturers. Everyone but Microsoft, whose Surface Duo will have a very unobvious way of displaying them.
The phone vibrates and emits a sound - it is a sign that an application is asking for your attention. It can be an urgent mail from work, but it is also possible that someone sent us a new sticker using a messenger - something that we can definitely check later. Prioritizing responding to different forms of notifications is key to using the phone in a healthy way. Fortunately, almost every phone makes it much easier for us.
Notifications are usually briefly displayed on the screen. They differ in icons, position on the display or content. All you need is a quick glance at the phone and we already know if we want to pick it up and react, or ignore and continue what we have just done.
But not in Surface Duo. By default, Microsoft's phone is closed, and this means that the device has no way to send us a summary notification information - except for an external display, such as our watch. The equipment can vibrate helplessly, and it will be up to us to open it and check what is going on. Microsoft wants to partially solve this problem.
How do I check notifications in Surface Duo? You have to slightly tilt the screen and preview it
You don't have to open the entire Surface Duo to check your notifications. Just slightly open the hatch of the phone, and the notifications will group there with the possibility of rejection by the user. The date and time will also be displayed in this mode, as well as a preview of who is calling.

Does the date on the Surface Duo display mean anything? It is difficult to say, given the fact that the above material does not come from the official distribution of Microsoft. However, June 18 is much earlier than the originally forecasted date for the launch of Surface Duo for sale - according to Microsoft alone, its new phone is expected to hit store shelves at the end of this year .
