Another month ofSurface Duoupdates. Or, as they are now unofficially called, Android Security Bulletin PSAs. Here’s the only item on November 2021’s Duo update log: “Addresses scenarios outlined in the Android Security Bulletin – November 2021.”

That’s it. Get your security update, and get on with life, because Microsoft doesn’t have any other goodies to offer at the moment, especially not of the variety many Duo owners are waiting on. Here’s the new version number for each classic Duo type:

You can read the November 2021 Duo update log onMicrosoft’s site,but you’ve already read its entire contents here, so, yeah. The whole update clocks in at 42.74MB in size.

Perhaps you’re wondering if there’s a different Duo product that Microsoft is focusing its attention on. Something like aSurface Duo 2. Well, you’d be correct, as there is indeed a Duo 2 that’s been hogging the limelight for much of October and November. The sequel device is expensive, but if you have an original Duo, you may still be eligible to trade it in at Best Buy andshave $700 off the priceof the newer, fancier foldable.

Alternatively, you can hold onto your original Duo and wait for the day Microsoft decides to give it an Android OS bump. There’s no telling when that day will be, but it should be “soon.” Probably. Maybe.

Duo dip

Everyone always asks “when” Surface Duo is getting an Android OS bump, but never “how” Surface Duo feels about it.
