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.
Like I said before, I will never stop making fun of the Juicero of Android phones.
Microsoft is using Android, not its own proprietary OS? Preposterous /s!
Microsoft tried a mobile version of Windows. And, it was actually not terrible. However, it suffered from a major problem.
I miss my Windows Phones. Had 2 of em and they were the best. App gap was terrible though.
I too miss using my windows phone. I loved it while I used it. I still use it sometimes as a music player. I use a windows style launcher on my android phone. I find it very convenient and productive to use.
It had too many developers?
I actually like Microsoft’s Android apps, like, a lot. Pretty much nothing to complain about across their entire line.
It’s their hardware design I have a problem with.
Does outlook still steal your emails even if you don’t use it with a Microsoft account?
Define steal in this context. What does this mean?

I actually have no idea.
It does have an impact. Apple has all the interest in keeping devices working for as long as possible because they make money from the app store. Microsoft makes money from selling the device and its surfaces but it’s google that benefits from the play store.
Its* own propietary OS.
Fixed
You’re pure class :)
