I owned one, had horrible freezing issues and screens going unavailable randomly, making folded use a horrible game of flipping the phone to get the other screen, but now it switched to the other screen. Sent it for repairs under warranty for one screen having flickering issues, they sent me a new one. The new one was still bad, but at least both screens worked.
Battery life was pretty bad. Had like a 2500mah battery which with two screens drains very quickly. I used it for a few months as a primary phone and put it in a drawer. It was several versions of android behind. Took it out one year later, it worked fine, used it for a while... But these phones are made of glass, and there wasn't a proper case for it because of the hinge, so Microsoft sends you these rubber bumpers you glue onto the phone which come off easily over time, official replacement "case" which was just rubber cost like $40 bucks, which made me buy double sided adhesive to keep using the original.
Anyways some people like to have multiple phones and it's good as a second phone if you spend all day near a charger. For anything else it's impractical.
Reading on it was great, though. Haven't tried a folding or hinge phone since
