Microsoft, one of the technology giants, cut its support for the dual-screen Surface Duo device, which it announced in 2019 and launched in 2020. Surface Duo will no longer receive any software or security updates.
The company announced the Surface Neo tablet together with the Surface Duo in 2019. The launch of the Surface Neo, which was planned to go on sale with the Windows 10X operating system, was canceled and decided to continue with the Android-based Surface Duo. When it announced the device, it stated that it would only receive updates for three years.
Microsoft announced today that it is ending support for the dual-screen Surface Duo device.
Microsoft announced the device in 2019 and introduced it to the consumer on September 10, 2020. However, as we mentioned above, the company stated that it would only provide support for three years. Today, Microsoft’s support for the product has officially ended. But the good news is, apps will continue to update as usual.
The device had a complicated update history. It was released with the Android 10 operating system, but the Android 11 update, which was expected to arrive in 2021, was delayed. As eyes looked towards 2022, it finally got Android 12L, but this was the last update the device would get. The output price of the device, which was expected to be popular, was $ 1400, although it saw many discounts, it was not very popular.
