Three years after launching the device with a premium price tag of $1,499, Microsoft has released what appears to be the last ever security update for the device: as with the original Duo last year, Microsoft is ending all support and software updates three years from the device's launch. For the Duo 2, all support will end on 21 October 2024.

Microsoft said in October 2021 that it would keep the Duo 2 around for a minimum of three years—and now that it's fulfilled that promise, it's dipping out of the smartphone game once again.

Microsoft Surface Duo 2 has received its final software update, marking the end of Microsoft's brief return to the smartphone market. The Surface Duo 2 was launched in October 2021, following a disastrous debut of the Surface Duo, which was announced in September 2019, and launched a year later in October 2020.
