Accidentally shattered first Duo2; got a replacement and decided to do a "fresh" install.

Hi everyone:

I thought I would share my experience here because it was so interesting.

**My first Duo 2 (Received back in November, used the option to backup from a prior device)**

* Screen 1 and Screen 2 color calibration was pretty off. I can't remember which side was which but one was much more of a "cool" tone and the other was very "warm" to the point that a white screen would look bluish or reddish on either. It was disappointing but I mostly ignored it. * Could NEVER get the glance bar to work. Never saw calls/texts/emails, etc. I had it enabled in settings. Gave up on it. * Felt really choppy? The screen is supposed to be 90hz and I was coming from a 60hz phone. I noticed no difference. Chalked it up to maybe being not noticeable to me. * Got Surface Pen, felt like the digitizer was slightly off/slow. * Not really another bullet point, but I broke it by trying to catch it from a fall. Honestly if I had let it fall it probably would have been fine but I missed my catch and basically batted it at warp speed where it landed on some tile flooring. :( I took off the bumpers hours earlier because my slim pen charging case was about to be delivered. Oof!

**My second Duo 2 (Received this week, decided to just do a clean install and re-download my apps as needed)**

* Screen color calibration isn't perfect but holy cow it's 100x better. * Glance bar works perfectly. * Feels so smooth, definitely notice the 60hz vs. 90hz against my prior device. * Software feels so much faster to load * Surface pen feels far more accurate, tracking in drawing seems way smoother. * Hinge feels way better; and I had no issues with the first one (in fact I thought it was amazing, so super amazing this time!)

I guess overall I just thought I'd mention since it's entirely possible that the "fresh" install fixed most of these issues (aside from the screen calibration, that was way off as soon as I powered on the first duo for setup). If you're having issues, you might consider just starting clean, probably a good thing to do here and there anyway.

Also possible my first one was some sort of "dud." Don't get me wrong, it worked fine enough, but in comparison they almost feel like two different devices. Wonder if they were built in different locations or if MSFT released a second batch with minor improvements.

Also, don't worry - I slapped the case on the 2nd Duo the second I unboxed it! ;)
