Microsoft announced on September 13 that the Surface Duo generation has completed the software update process
The Surface Duo generation debuted in September 2020 and is priced at US$1,399 (approximately RMB 10,200). Now, it has fulfilled its promise of software update maintenance. Microsoft originally promised to provide 3 years of Android update support for this device, and now this commitment has been fulfilled
The first generation of Surface Duo was initially equipped with Android 10 system, and later in January 2022 ushered in the Android 11 update, followed by the Android 12L update in October 2022. During the entire system maintenance cycle, Surface Duo only received two major Android version updates. Compared with competitors, the update frequency is somewhat insufficient. Most manufacturers on the market currently offer at least 3 major Android version updates, and even some high-end devices promise more.
As the first phone in the Surface series, Surface The Duo generation has attracted the attention of many users with its unique dual-screen design. Two 5.6-inch AMOLED displays are connected together through a delicate hinge. When unfolded, they can present an 8.1-inch field of view with a resolution of 2700×1800 and a screen aspect ratio of 3:2. Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, an 11-megapixel camera, a 3577mAh battery, and support for 18W fast charging, the device is also quite competitive in terms of hardware.
However, although in terms of hardware Surface The Duo generation performed well, but its short update maintenance window may disappoint some users, especially considering its high price. This situation also reminds consumers to fully consider the importance of software updates and maintenance when purchasing new devices to ensure a smoother long-term use experience.
