Microsoft announced the Surface Duo 2 yesterday with impressive new specs and a refreshed design. However, those who purchased the first model are currently displeased with Microsoft, and rightly so.
The Surface Duo launched last year with Android 10 out of the box. More than a year since it was unveiled and since Android 11 was announced, the Surface Duo is still running Android 10, and with Android 12 almost here, owners of the Surface Duo sure have a genuine reason to be disappointed in Microsoft.
Back in February, it was reported that the dual-screen phone will receive the Android 11 OS upgrade this summer. Summer is officially over and the update is yet to arrive. A new report says the update is still planned for this year.
According to The Verge, they were informed by a Microsoft spokesperson that they are working on bringing the Android 11 update to the Surface Duo before the end of the year. That is not a specific date which means it isn’t set in stone and there is a likelihood of it arriving later than stated.
The Surface Duo 2 will ship with Android 11, but unlike other manufacturers that have announced how many OS upgrades their devices will receive or the number of years they will be supported for, Microsoft only promised regular updates without being specific. This means there is no saying when the new device will receive Android 12 talk less of the first-gen model.
