May 2021 firmware update is now available for US and European versions of Surface Duo - the only device in the Microsoft Surface family running Android, not Windows 10.

Here what is new in May 2021 firmware update for Surface Duo.

Microsoft continues to roll out May 2021 firmware updates for different Surface models. Following updates for Surface Laptop, Laptop 3, and Laptop 4, the company has released new patches and improvements for a bunch of other computers.

Both first gen and second-gen Surface Pro X has received a humongous April firmware update with tons of improvements. Recently, Microsoft merged updates for Surface Pro X and Surface Pro X with the SQ2 processors. From now on, two ARM-based computers from Microsoft receive new unified firmware together. Despite that, this month's update is not the same for the two devices. Surface Pro X SQ2 gets significantly more patches than the original Surface Pro X. It is quite interesting, though, that Microsoft still mentions both SQ1 and SQ2 models in one of the changelogs.

Surface Duo, the only non-Windows device under the Surface brand, received the April firmware update. It contains Android security patches and a few quality improvements.

After releasing the April firmware update for Surface Studio 2, Microsoft pushed a similar set of patches for Surface Pro 6. These updates contain several stability and security improvements with no major changes or new features.
