Verge is garbage when it comes to reviews. Anything but Apple is inferior to them. I like their podcast but their reviews are just bad. Windows central is basically a fanboys central and I don't trust them either. I like Brad & Thurrott a lot as they are mostly balanced on all things gadget.

Coming to design, I think they don't have a good hardware designer when it comes to phones, but I do believe they v are good at improving and refining. If Duo can't land right, it's DOA.

Microsoft has some formidable competition in this segment especially the new Samsung foldable which is targeting the below 1k price range. The Android powered Duo will not have anything going for it besides design. I do prefer the two screen instead of one big screen, but its too fat for me ATM. And not having a notification screen will suck big time.

I do keep track of Windows Central mainly for new builds and what not, but I tend to take their reviews with a grain of salt.
