3) Is not true for me though, it's awful mostly, but that's my pet peeve (all coders assume everyone else is on a 1000mbit connection as well all the time) and MS is really bad at making anything work on bad connections. Office 365 isn't even getting past the 'wait while loading' while Google drive/docs is completely usable when I have a bad connection (which is often). The software that was written for bad connections, like Whatsapp and Wechat, for me, have much better quality. But no video (which I personally don't need, but it violates your 3rd demand).

> 3) Good quality voice calls, video calls and group voice calls

In my experience, voice quality issues is almost always due to the people and not the technology.

Well Skype just disconnects often and it takes a while to get back. While the 'others' don't have that as they assume the connection will break / is too slow?

WhatsApp has had video for a while now...

I'm guessing on your slow connection the update is still pending...

For me, whatsapp video doesn't work at all. When I use it with my girlfriend (I have iOS, she has a new Android phone) her video has a real bad quality while I can see hers perfectly fine. Voice quality is good as well. Video quality is perfect on Duo and Skype and we're both on WiFi, so that's not the issue.

Don't know if it's due to the geography (across countries in Europe), but I couldn't find a solution yet. Calls work fine as well.

I'd love to get rid of Duo but have to keep using it as I don't want to use Skype on my phone.
