Huawei devices getting Bing AI functionality in SwiftKey whilst MIA on Surface Duo
I followed the development and lifespan of Surface Duo aggressively, though.
Surface Duo abandoned
The support for the Surface Duo and its sibling has just been abysmal.
Yes Huawei, who haven’t been able to make phones running the Google Play Store for years.
