This is sad. I was looking at S22 and may be it is finally good enough I could switch away from Apple. Now I need to think again.

Doesn't seems like I have much choice.

I have been thinking for some time, what does it take for a third Mobile OS platform. While there are millions of Apps, The absolute essential Apps on smartphone seems to have concentrated to less than a hundred?

Honestly there are only a handful of apps I use that couldn't just be a PWA. Maybe it's time for Windows Mobile 2.0.

Yes. But Microsoft seems to have completely given up.

Surface Duo + slowly building Surface brand properly is "giving up"?

Misread something, one of us.

The parent comments are talking about phone operating systems not hardware. And Microsoft is failing in that front, the Surface Duo missed it's target date for the Android 11 update multiple times. It didn't receive a11 until 4 months after Android 12 released. If they can't even keep Android up to date, there's no chance of them developing a separate mobile operating system.
