After releasing Android 12L for the Surface Duo and Duo 2 last month, Microsoft is back with another monthly update for its Android smartphones. However, changelogs are less exciting this time unless you have the first-gen Surface Duo for AT&T, which is now ready to move from Android 11 to 12L.

What is new in the November 2022 update for the Surface Duo and Duo 2?

Not much. Microsoft says the latest release "addresses scenarios outlined in the Android Security Bulletin for November 2022." Unfortunately, there are no device-specific improvements, new features, or fixes.


However, if you have the original Surface Duo for AT&T, you can finally update to Android 12L, which contains a massive list of changes, new Windows 11-inspired UI, fresh features, and performance improvements.


You can download the latest Surface Duo firmware update by heading to Settings > System Update. Keep in mind that firmware updates for Surface devices (including Windows-based) are non-uninstallable, so always check lists of known issues. Microsoft says the November 2022 update for the Surface Duo and Duo 2 has no apparent problems, so everyone should be good after installing it.
