![]() As Windows Latest again reports, unlocked devices now benefit from refinements to the overall camera experience. While these features appear to still be at the internal testing phase, the device’s November update provides further minor improvements. This will primarily focus on the camera, with improvements to EIS (electronic image stabilisation), live previews of HDR images and new modes such as “Image Refiner” and “Photo Solid”. ![]() Talking of software, Windows Latest reported in September 2020 that Microsoft is working on a significant software update for the Duo. However, this additional layer of security may also mean it takes Android patches longer to be approved for the Duo. As Windows Central reports, the device will come with a custom UEFI (formerly BIOS) that allows the company to respond directly to any software-related threats. Microsoft will be hoping the design of the Surface Duo means it’s able to overcome problems more efficiently. This should take it right up to the release of Android 14, and matches similar commitments made by Google and Samsung recently. Talking of software, Microsoft has confirmed to Android Authority that the Surface Duo will receive three years of Android updates. As an Android phone, the 35 apps include 20 from Google and 15 from Microsoft.Īpp compatibility on the Duo has been a topic of discussion ever since the device was announced, and Windows Central has now published a list of the apps that are optimised to run across the dual-screen design: We also have confirmation of the apps that will come pre-installed on the Surface Duo, courtesy of Windows Latest. The multi-core score here puts it above the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Motorola Razr and Galaxy Fold, and behind only the iPhone 11 Pro Max among similarly priced devices. However, as Windows Latest is reporting, the latest Geekbench 5 benchmarks suggest the Duo is a solid performer. It may also have allowed Microsoft to keep costs down slightly. The use of a chipset from 2018 may come as a surprise to some, but the 865 requires a separate 5G chip and was unveiled after the Duo made its debut.
