40.22 megabytes are headed your way.
What you need to know
- The Surface Duo August 2021 Android security and firmware update has arrived.
- It's 40.22MB and brings the build number up to 2021.721.41.
- The changelog for the update is now live and posted below.
It's that special time of the month again when Surface Duos get their regularly scheduled updates. This time around, it's looking to be another standard security-and-firmware-fueled month without any major bells or whistles, as indicated by the 40.22MB size. The changelog isn't up on Microsoft's site yet, but that doesn't mean we know nothing about what is and isn't in the forty-megabyte package, which brings the Surface Duo up to build number 2021.721.41 (for U.S. unlocked and AT&T locked devices).
Update: The changelog is now available. This update is merely installing the Google security patch for August 5th.
- 2021.721.41 (North America)
- 2021.721.43 (Europe)
- 2021.721.42 (AT&T Locked Device)
- Addresses scenarios outlined in the Android Security Bulletin - August 2021.
As is usual with these updates, expect security to be one of the items addressed, helping keep the device free of critical vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the device's current update says it "improves the performance and stability" of the Duo, so there could be meaningful performance updates in there as well, beyond just added security measures.
One thing that's not in the update is Android 11, to the disappointment of some users over on Reddit.
In the meantime, don't forget the Surface Duo 2 is on the horizon. As you might expect, Windows Central readers are pretty darn excited for it, having voted it as their most anticipated upcoming Surface device.

If one screen is good, then...
The Surface Duo has won a place in many people's hearts thanks to its two-screen design. And now, you can grab the device for lower than ever, thanks to its reduced MSRP.
