The Surface Duo received mixed reviews, with critics praising its design and battery life, but mixed on its multitasking features, software quality, and believing that its hardware (including its RAM, camera, and wireless network support) was outdated and underpowered for its class.
A successor, the Surface Duo 2, was unveiled in September 2021. Microsoft released the final security update for the Surface Duo on September 10, 2023.[2][3]
