The first-generation Surface Duo is expected to upgrade to Android 11 in January next year

According to the latest news revealed by the Windows Central podcast, the original Surface Duo is expected to be upgraded to Android 11 in January next year. According to the podcast, Microsoft engineers have tested the Android 11 system internally, and the delay in production equipment is only because Google needs to complete verification before public promotion.

According to reports, Microsoft has sent an update image of Android 11 to Google, so if everything goes according to plan, Google should give the green light for the update in early January. In theory, the first-generation Surface Duo should also be able to receive Android 12 updates, but since even Android 11 has not been released, it is almost impossible to guess the possible launch date. If anything, Android 12 is expected to land on Surface Duo at this time next year.
