However, this statement alludes to new updates set to arrive on both the Surface Duo 2 and first Surface Duo, along with the potential for another model to be in the works. With a new Microsoft event taking place in October, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. What’s more, these “supply constraints” could be making room for a new device instead.
New Surface Duo on the horizon?
According to the report, Microsoft is thinking about using the same foldable design as the current Surface Duo or switching it up to something similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. If the design is changed, then it’s expected to come in a different aspect ratio and thinner design. We’ve heard murmurings of Microsoft’s scrapped Surface Duo before, which was expected to be a low-cost model with a dual-camera array and plastic exterior. Images of the device popped up on a now-deleted eBay listing, titled as a “dev unit” of the Surface Duo 2. Apparently, it was canceled in late 2021 to focus on the next Surface Duo device. If this is the case, a new device may be just over the horizon. However, we could also see Microsoft bringing Android 12L to existing Surface Duo devices, which has been rumored for a while. We won’t know until Microsoft makes an official announcement, but we’re likely to hear something at the Microsoft October event.
