When Microsoft released Surface Duo device in the US last year, the company was expected to release an update to Android 11 soon after.
In the end even regular updates have been slow in coming, and not much has been heard about Android 11 either.
Today some news about the OS update has trickled out, courtesy of DrWindows.de.Â
According to the German blog, based on a briefing they had from Microsoft, the OS update will arrive sometime in the summer.
The reason is somewhat unexpected – according to Microsoft the company is collaborating with Google on dual-screen support in Android, with the modifications Microsoft is making expected to flow to other dual-screen OEMs.
