Microsoft Didn’t Fulfill Its Surface Duo Android 11 Update Promise

Kellen December 31, 2021 13

Microsoft made a promise a couple of months back that it was going to update its $1,400 Surface Duo device to Android 11 before 2021 ended. Unless something changes over the next several hours, they will fail to do so. That's both unsurprising and pathetic. I...

Surface Duo Should Get Android 11 This Year

Kellen September 23, 2021 5

I was going to spend this post dunking on the Microsoft Surface Duo (again), a flawed product that will soon be replaced by the Surface Duo 2, but I'm tired of dunking on it. You all know how bad it is. So let's instead make this quick and talk about the...

Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2 Looks Great, Hopefully It Gets Software Updates

Kellen September 22, 2021 36

Microsoft announced their new Surface Duo 2 today, and dammit, it looks pretty good. I think they fixed just about everything I had complaints about, plus they improved the device in a number of areas and tossed in some clever new tricks. That said, if they...

Microsoft Surface Duo Gets July Security Patch, Still No Android 11

Tim July 26, 2021 2

Microsoft has announced a fresh update for the Surface Duo, and before you get your hopes up... No, it's not Android 11. Will Android 11 ever come? Eh, who knows? We're too busy focusing on Android 12's release next month, so apologies to those who are...

If Real, This Surface Duo 2 Design is a Major Mistake

Kellen July 26, 2021 22

The original Microsoft Surface Duo didn't necessarily fail as a concept, it failed because Microsoft decided an ultra minimalist design was more important than proper smart technological functionality. The Surface Duo is actually a pretty good idea, the...

No, You Don’t Want the Surface Duo Even at $400

Kellen July 6, 2021 24

A deal over at Woot today has the Microsoft Surface Duo down to $409.99, and no, you don't want one. Even at $990 off, this is a device not worth investing in. The Microsoft Surface Duo was a bad product when released almost a year ago and it's not much better...

Microsoft Brings Android Apps to Windows 11

Kellen June 24, 2021 16

Microsoft announced Windows 11 today, and look, this is a story we wouldn't typically pay much attention to around here. However, there is an Android component to the big news and it involves Android apps. Microsoft is bringing your favorite Android apps to...

Microsoft Made the Surface Duo Somehow Desirable by Turning It Into an Xbox

Tim May 24, 2021 11

Surface Duo from Microsoft. We don't talk about it much. However, Microsoft has sent out an update to the Xbox Cloud Gaming app this week, turning the Surface Duo into a mobile Xbox with working on-screen controls. Now we're talking! As you can see in the...
