Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates (www.windowscentral.com)

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.

That's Android. You want an Android. Buy a Samsung and flash whatever rom you want onto it.

Not the person you're responding too, but... Unfortunately the Samsung is quite expensive and the screen is waay to vulnerable for me. A single foldable screen is definitely preferable, but personally not at the cost of having a screen that you can scratch with your nails.

If Samsung made a phone with two screens with last year's flagship specs at a decent price I'd be all over it.
