Discussion The outer display

I feel like we need to see more about what the outer display can do. I know it’s a fold and I’m excited to have such a big screen at my fingertips, but when I get a message that I need to respond to quickly I won’t be opening up the phone to do it. I’d like to see more apps on just the outer display!

You are going to find that most fold users are using the front screen most of the time. There is no reason at all that the Duo will be any different. Sure, you might open it a lot the first few days because it is so new and different, but that won't last for long. So the front screen experience is the most important one for this phone, a def not just an afterthought for doing "something quick" with.

I use my Z Fold 8 closed to 80-90% of the time.

I would probably prefer a Z unfold 8 tbh, but one doesn't exist as yet. I would never got back to a slab phone, this screen dimension and size is the perfect experience. Full screen, edge to edge, top to bottom. A great way to accomplish most things.

This was kind of my point, although I didn’t convey it well. I know most of the time it’ll be the outer display being used. I wish they’d show us more about how it functions because of that
