However, if you interact with a text box, the on-screen keyboard shifts everything around if it's docked, and typically you'll want it to be docked. You can drag and drop apps for a side-by-side experience, which is useful and intuitive. Samsung uses virtual containers for its multitasking experience.

However, the multi-tasking experience on the Duo 2 is definitely a cut above what Samsung is able to offer with its flexible option, with Android itself being partially to blame here potentially. And the big split down the middle means you can't use all of that combined screen real estate for media consumption. The downside here, of course, is that the bezels are chunky, reducing the body-to-screen ratio fairly unpleasantly. It feels safer to use, and it actually folds flat when closed, unlike the Galaxy Fold 3. I don't need to worry about a grain of silt cracking the display if I fold it at the wrong time. I don't need to worry about dust getting trapped in the hinge mechanism, nor do I need to baby the screen with protectors. This thing is made of good ol' regular glass. This is where the Surface Duo 2 presents a clear advantage. But the downsides are numerous, notwithstanding the fact that the screen died simply from being looked at.
I loved this thing for gaming, with its large and clear display ideal for arranging touch controls and also consuming media. A fragile display meets an "average" battery and arguably a sub-par camera array in exchange for a phone that can double as a mini tablet. The compromises on the Galaxy Fold line are pretty clear. When I went to the seaside this summer, the terrifying crunch of getting air-borne sand trapped in the hinge mechanism gave me pause. The plastic-feeling screen has always been anxiety-inducingly fragile. When my Galaxy Z Fold 3 broke, I asked myself if I shouldn't just get a regular Samsung Galazy S22 or something.
