The Microsoft Surface Duo, released in September 2020, will no longer receive software updates, including Android version upgrades and security fixes.
The Surface Duo was launched with Android 10 out of the box and came with the promise of three years of Android security updates and OS upgrades. It received the Android 11 update in January 2022 and later, in October, it was upgraded to Android 12L, which is the last Android version upgrade for the foldable phone. Considering that it launched with a $1,399 price tag, only receiving two Android version upgrades is quite disappointing.
The Microsoft Surface Duo 2, released in October 2021 with Android 11, also came with the promise of three years of security updates and operating system upgrades. It received the Android 12L update last October and will not receive any further Android version upgrades and security patches after October 21, 2024. Whether Microsoft will release a new Android OS upgrade for the Surface Duo 2 before dropping software support remains to be seen.
