However, you should not expect such a device to appear earlier than the second half of 2024. Still, there are rumors about Microsoft considering moving from a dual-screen to the traditional foldable form factor, so perhaps the hope is not lost. The first iteration was not something we would call a success.
The lackluster software support and reports about Microsoft scrapping its plans to release a Surface Duo "3" picture a grim future for the company's post-Windows Phone mobile ambitions. The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is the second iteration of the companys dual-screen smartphone efforts. Although Microsoft has yet to update the official documentation, it is safe to assume that the only change in the release is monthly Android security patches. The April 2023 firmware update for the original and second-generation Surface Duo is now available for download with a puny size of just 25MB (via Windows Central). As I said shortly after reviewing that phone, the Surface Duo 2 misses the mark on the one compelling reason to get a foldable phone you get more screen real. The Surface Duo, powered by a modified version of Googles Android software, puts a different spin on the foldable phone trend. And to add insult to injury, last month's update has arrived with a significant delay. Microsoft brought the Surface Duo to market earlier this fall.
After releasing Android 12L in 2022, the company has only shipped small and security-only updates for its dual-screen phones, leaving them without device-specific fixes and improvements. Microsoft is not having a good time updating its Android smartphone duo.
