Surface Duo is Microsoft's first dual-screen Android smartphone, and it comes with a 360-degree hinge, with two separate OLED displays.
As per the Microsoft Launcher changelog on Google Play Store, (first spotted by XDA-Developers) the update comes with the firmware version 6.2.201102.92686. It is now being rolled out for Surface Duo in the US, and brings optimisations and bug fixes, shared by the report.
