Joanna Stern Reviews the Duo: ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Buggy’

Joanna Stern’s video review packs a ton into 16 minutes. She commissioned a custom robot to fold/unfold the thing over 32,000 times in a week, to see if it loosened the hinge. (I won’t spoil the answer.) She took it on a yacht on the Hudson. She took it to a dark bar to test the cameras. And she really, really missed Face ID. I don’t know how she makes these videos in just a week, along with all the actual testing. So good.We rank our complaints (and praise) in different order, but overall her take jibes with mine on every single point. You can read a version of her review, too, if you’re a subscriber to The New Things, which you should be.
