What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA buyer in Hong Kong paid seventeen thousand four hundred ninety-nine Hong Kong dollars for a Duo in a pre-sale, and planned to resell it for about four thousand Hong Kong dollars profit.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's the most honest review of a foldable I've heard. He never has to open it.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentReuters also found a Sydney buyer who paid two thousand seven hundred thirty-four dollars for the 512GB model. The price starts at nineteen ninety-nine.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentShipping slid to January twenty-fifth within minutes. If you're a flipper, a long wait is the product.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd Vice reports one owner's screen cracked after about six hours and fewer than twenty openings.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentClip it. Fewer than twenty.

  7. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe Verge gave it a seven out of ten. The flipper's unopened box gets a ten, and the screen is flawless.
