The Duo is ahead on battery with the outer screen on, and it adds a large folding display. The 18 Pro is ahead on camera, with a variable aperture main camera and a telephoto that the Duo lacks. It is also lighter, cheaper and on sale now.
My take: every time Apple launches a product, people expect it to innovate and to beat the one before. A folding phone is interesting and eye-catching. But most Apple phones have always had a great camera, and here the camera is a step back.
I am not going to give a firm opinion on this phone yet. I want a real review that shows the good and the bad points. For now, read the table and draw your own conclusions.
