Windows 11 on Surface Duo - Demo and Overview 

The surface duo running Windows 11 is beautiful!!

If only Windows Phone would get a return

That would have been the dream. Windows with SMS & call support, all the apps that i need could be a web app, or if they would keep WSA that would also be an option. But it will be a dream i guess

Suppose Windows on Arm will be a big thing in the future (because of Snapdragon X Elite and so on). Wouldn't OEMs like Lenovo try designs like Foldable Laptops (2 in one or Tablets), which would require Win 11 to work seamlessly on that hardware? This looks like a window in the future of Windows.

i wish they launched windows phone OS again with better app support. Windows Phone OS is the best for me .

Surface Duo 2 FTW! :)

Just what does it actually take for Microsoft to hire these guys, support them on a full team scale, revive back the Surface Neo and Duo but as Windows machines? They don't have to compete with Android, as long as it is windows, there is always a way to get things running. If only they didn't kill the android app support this dream would've come true in this day and age.

This is what Microsoft should do. We’re on something

Actually, Windows 8 / 8.1 and Windows 10 mobile was the best for any touch screen devices. The UI was superb ! . Far much better than Android ,IOS, iPad OS, or any. I had used windows 10 phone like Lumia 650. and many windows 2in1 pc since windows 8 was out including surface go and surface pro.

I found that in Windows 11 using two monitors extended desktop, it opens apps on the last used monitor. This highlights the multitasking genius in Microsoft Launcher on Duo. It recognizes which screen is being engaged.

I would really like to see the Surface Neo running Windows come to market to go with my Surface Duo Gen 1.

It's working surprisingly very good!

Duo should of had this from the beginning. Once the bugs have been fixed then this would have been an amazing device.

When I saw the Surface duo being teased I was hoping they would make it dual booting of android and windows. imagine having your phone with you all day doing phone stuff then coming home and docking it for your pc. would make for a killer work setup.

i am not surprised at all . im still using the Galaxybook go with snapdragon 7c with 4GB ram and still good till today

Just imagine a Surface Duo 3 with the same dual display solution like this but with Snapdragon X Plus/Elite chipset.

I am watching this with tears after buying the 1 and 2 and now on fold 5 . Why Microsoft why .

Snapdragon X Elite ❤❤

Until it have no voice, really hard to find reason to try out. I using xiaomi pad 5 with perfectly working Android/Windows 11 dual boot. But sound is very basic in my opinion to find reason to start a very complicated install proces. But I waiting and i have hope....

I'm actually running windows on my Xiaomi pad 5, which has the same processor and benefited from this project, and everything works except the cameras ! It's actually very good, and surely the cheapest way to get a 120hz windows tablet with good battery life It's also very good on Poco X3 pro

These would be really great

Should have shipped with W11 and Android subsystem with proper side loading or Play Store support. Would have been amazing.

wow i'm pretty impressed.

good start. Microsoft should release a alternative windows 11 for android devices, so people can install as custom rom and gives full support of update and security features.

Anybody knows if it will run dropbox and Metatrader 4 or 5 ? It works on surface pro 11. Great video!

How does the Microsoft Office apps run on here? Is Excel too small to see anything etc? does Bluetooth work ok with an external mouse/keyboard? looks very cool!.. Hopefully they can get these other issues resolved and it could be an amazing little machine! Thanks for the video

can you run android apps through WSA?

it's a mini Surface Neo. Microsoft, put it on market, plz

Having used it for a couple days, di dyou find iot practical to use as a replacement for android?

Is it true that i should stop using Windows, and start using Linux???? I keep hearing that everywhere...

where can i get my surface duo screen repaired?

I can belive that windows central exist 😂

If they made it like flip phones today that all screens are connected and that ugly giant bezels are less non-existent, this product would probably be one of the best smartphone up to this date. They just didn’t commit enough and released some kind of a concept phone. 😅

Been following this and have been eager to make windows the main os once its stable ... Still waiting for sound and quality of life things ! For now might just stick with android

There’s a future possibility that Linux will become the dominant PCs in the not too distant future. The rise of Linux will dethrone Windows era.

So... Dream of getting windows phone is still alive?

I would buy this. Amazing how a small team can work better than Microsoft own team. 🤔

Yooo if they keep working on it tho it will be really good

Definitly Microsoft should do a official Windows 11 for Surface Duo/Duo 2 and maybe future Surface Duo 3.

It would be nice if Microsoft just continue to support Android with their Android launcher designed for folding devices. Surface Duo could live on as a Duo launcher for Android. Everything that the current Microsoft Launcher does for single display phones could be made for foldables as a replacement for Duo hardware. Only difference would be instead of 2 displays, a Duo launcher could emulate a large screen split in 2 halves. Google's Android 14 already has split apps so why can't they integrate functionality to a launcher as if it's 2 displays showing on one screen? Also when a foldable is closed the launcher could emulate Surface Duo's phone mode. Would this be too difficult? it's only a UI change to their current launcher anyway.

I would try it if it has sound working. No sound is a deal breaker

Why doesn't Microsoft just give us this? 😓 This is exactly what we want, just give it to us

zac, what happened to windows central love stream podacst?

the new OS might be appropriate for something like a newer version of the Surface RT. I wouldn't mind a cheaper Windows on Arm tablet even just an 8inch - 10inch flat tablet without the surface hinge mechanism to keep production cost down. This would be a good building block to iterate future successful models of the Win-on-Arm system there is a literal ARMs race and Microsoft is currently behind the pack

This is great for the 5 people that has this device.

come on guys we want to know about surface pro 10 and surface laptop x elite .

Does it fix the occasional touch lags?

This is the actual surface duo.. justifying the parent brand name

if there is a chance for microsoft to come back to mobile devices that chance is now

RIP Windows Phone

blud think he the surface neo [skull] only in ohio bruh

Stop experiments and start full fledge development on developing Windows on ARM devices such as handhelds.

Poor video recording

Windows sucks ass. This is why everyone is leaving to Linux. Linux is becoming more popular and successful thanks to Windows 11 failures. Windows era is coming to end. The era of Linux will begin. Windows will become history. Linux will become dominant.

Surface Duo sucks ass anyway, and the same goes for Crappy edge, Trashy search (a.k.a Bing) and Windows 11 and other trashy products made from Microsoft. Microsoft era is coming to end. The Linux golden age is coming. Linux is becoming more successful than ever thanks to Windows 11 failure.

To bad Microsoft will go bankrupt because of their dirty tactics. They got deserved.
