Surface Duo owners have lived with disappointing updates
Disappointing software updates have been a way of life for Surface Duo owners dating back to the OG model. That phone was supposed to have been updated to Android 11 not long after its release, but the update has never taken place leaving the device stuck running Android 10. And the monumental Android 12 update might never make it to the first-gen Surface Duo.

The Surface Duo 2, like the original model, is not a foldable phone in the sense that the screen can bend. Instead, it uses a hinge and software enhancements developed by Google to give the user a tablet-like experience in a device that folds up allowing it to be used as a smartphone. The sequel has the Snapdragon 888 under the hood along with 8GB of memory and 128GB ($1,499.99), 256GB ($1,599.99), or 512GB ($1,799.99) of storage, although the latter configuration is available in Obsidian (Black) only with the other color option being Glacier (White).
