Does a Surface Duo Mean a Windows Phone Revival Is Possible? Microsoft Says It’s Not Happening

When Microsoft first unveiled the Surface Duo, it wasn’t known if the phone will run some variation of the company’s newly announced Windows 10X OS or Android. After all, Windows 10X has been made from the grounds up for dual-screen devices like Duo and it could give another chance to the company to have a share of the mobile OS market. However, the company has now confirmed that the Surface Duo is not a Windows Phone and it isn’t going to be pooling resources to revive this platform either.

While Microsoft may be the vendor of choice for the majority of desktop operating systems, mobile devices don’t seem to be its cup of tea. This is apparent from the fact that despite being introduced before Android and iOS, the Windows Mobile platform, which was later rebranded as Windows Phone failed to make a mark. In fact, Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows Phone this year.
