Microsoft’s first branded Android phone was a disaster
@ 2023/09/15Worst supported Android phone ever
Software King of the World Microsoft has pulled the plug on what might be the worst-supported Android phone in history.
Vole’s Surface Duo was a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. It was supposed to have a three-year update plan, but that turned out to be two late major OS updates.
The $1,400 device never ran a current version of Android.
Microsoft unveiled the Surface Duo in October 2019 and shipped it in September 2020. It arrived to negative reviews mostly because Android couldn't take advantage of the ultra-fat 4:3 displays, and having two of them didn't help. Typing was tough because there was no split keyboard.
After its release, it suffered from software issues, which made it buggy and after charging Apple sort of prices because it was pretty to look at, the Duo failed to jump over most of its hurdles.
