  • Microsoft has announced its Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 have received an Android 12L update.
  • The update brings unified iconography, colors, and UI controls.
  • It also introduces new features like a pen shortcut menu, updated widgets, improved accessibility, and more.

There was a rumor that came out earlier this month that suggested the Microsoft Surface Duo and the Duo 2 could be getting a Windows 11-inspired Android 12L update. It looks like that rumor has been confirmed as Microsoft has officially announced the update on its blog.

According to the Redmond-based business, the update based on Android 12L will bring a number of improvements to build “stronger connections between Windows and Duo, driving familiarity using visuals and coherence.” These improvements include a visual revamp, new features, and enhancements to the user experience.
