According to the article, it launched with android 10. So, just android 11 and android 12L. Giving an android 13 update was the least they could’ve done, considering android 14 is around the corner. Oh, well. Do not buy products from companies that do not guarantee to provide one.

Well… I guess it beats their treatment of Windows Phone 7 models.

MS doing MS things, cancelling products. Just like Google.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Microsoft is done supporting the original Surface Duo, three years after it first launched on September 10.

The company has stated from the very start that the Surface Duo would receive just three years of OS updates, meaning today is the last day that Microsoft has to stay true to its word.

Going forward, Microsoft will no longer ship new OS updates or security patches for the original Surface Duo, meaning Android 12L is the last version of the OS it will ever officially receive.

Surface Duo only ever got two major OS updates, one shy of the average three that most high-end flagship Android devices get these days.

Microsoft hasn’t been working on new features or bug fixes for Surface Duo in months anyway, so it’s not like current Surface Duo users are going to be missing out on much outside of security patches.

Plus, with support for third-party ROMs, enthusiasts can install a custom version of Android 13/14 on their devices.

I was really hoping for the Duo to succeed and be iterated upon. It fascinated me and seemed like it would be useful for taking notes at work, provided I ever RTO. Oh, well.

The duo should had never existed anyways. MS should had kept all the RnD in the neo…
