Camera

Tablets generally do not possess great imaging capabilities, but this device’s rear camera takes decent photos even when it’s at the lesser resolution with just 2MP in tow. It’s a fixed-focus cam, and colors are close to accurate despite the whole image being hazy and all. Here are a few sample shots:

: Front Cam

It also takes 3gp videos at HD resolution. The videos also tend to produce this haze, and details are not as sharp as we thought it would be. Here’s a sample clip:

OS, UI, and apps

As for the star, or rather stars, of the show, the Duo packs both Android Lollipop and Windows 10 right out of the box. Switching is as easy as pressing the button on the notification panel in Android, or double-clicking on the shortcut at Windows 10’s desktop. It takes awhile before it opens in Android, while launching Windows is definitely faster than its dual-boot counterpart.

There aren’t any included apps on the Android side except for a few Google ones and the O+ app, and you’d have around 15.6GB of free space for Lollipop alone. Windows 10, on the other hand, has a few Office mobile apps pre-installed, and you’d have 21 of 36GB left for future updates and app installations.

A so so dual boot tablet with a not that good built quality. Bought it 2 months ago and ended up with a cracked screen which accidentally dropped by my son. It should have been working until now if not for the cheap lcd glass protection, sana man lang gorilla glass or dragon trail nadulas lang sa kamay about a foot then ayun basag agad?. In fairness the tablet performs well both in android and win10 mode, but the problem when switching from android to windows the external sdcard reader has to be reset or it won’t be detected, you have to manually turn off the tablet and boot natively to windows10 for it to work properly. Antoher thing the micro hdmi is not working I’ve used several cables for compatibility and none of them worked. The hardware keyboard is also disappointing because of the missing escape key…DUHHH!!! you can’t use it in recovery boot mode or better yet connect a usb keyboard. The battery on paper is rated at 8000mah but it is good for only 2to3hours what the???. Overheating problems(mainit sa kamay) in gaming and the red led keeps on blinking and I have to stop playing. I won’t recommend this tablet for entertainment but only for reading email, editing documents and web surfing if you have the patience. Design and hardware flaws and that is the O+ duos. Spend your money on a better and reliable one sayang lang pera ko dyan.

The HDMI is its most important feature, unfortunately it is not working. I bought one and I regret it.

Very substandard built. Yung battery nia parang pang 4 y/o na device. May HTC ako at 2120 Mah tapos eto mauuna pang mamatay sa standby. SUSME! RAM is @ 2GB daw pero mas fluid pa yung 3y/o na HTC na 1GB ram lang and it really hangs a lot kahit dalawang app lang dinownload ko. at grabe maginit!!!!

Kelangan palitan ng kernel to kaso I wonder kung pareho lang kernel ng windows at android. Sayang talaga pera! wala pang 1k difference naka Samsung Tab nalng sana ako.
