The first generation of Surface Duo has reached the end of its support period after just two updates
Launched on September 10, 2020, the first model of the Surface Duo series was launched as a risky bet by Microsoft, which intended to position the family as Mobile phone options with folding screens Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.
And while the hardware was attractive, the company didn’t care much about the device’s software. Owners of the device had to wait over a year to get the first update, and over the three years of the device’s life, Microsoft has only been able to ship two major system updates: Android 11 and Android 12L.

Now, the first delivery of the Surface Duo You will no longer receive new updates. No operating system version, no security patches. Meanwhile, the Surface Duo 2 will continue to receive updates until October 21, 2024 next year.
