So uh, I'm one of the two people who actually own this phone and the pen - This update actually broke the pen. The pen pairs itself to the phone every time you bring it into about 5mm of the screen, so as you are writing the pen is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. There's a subtle input lag everytime this reconnection happens, so you are left with gaps or straight lines randomly in your writing. Also, if you are using the pen to scroll down something - say a web page for example -when this reconnection happens it has a 30% chance of just instantly flinging you to the top or bottom of what you are reading.

Nobody is talking about this because nobody uses this phone and even fewer use the pen with it. Microsoft support is no use, they just replaced the pen with another - but it's the update not the pen. I genuinely think nobody at Microsoft uses these 2 product pairings, it's infuriating to someone actually trying to regularly use it for extended periods but works well enough in short bursts it might not be noticed by whatever team works on these updates . I might as well have set $130 on fire cause I don't think I'll be using the pen ever again.

    Both the people who bought it must be delighted.
    Although I think Bill now has a Samsung...

          Who buys this overpriced and very bugging phone with lots of issues. The surface duo 2 belongs in the toilet where it should be flushed down with other crap phones like the OnePlus 10 pro. Microsoft needs to only concentrate on software only and exist from the laptop and phone market for good because nobody buys crappie surface products with no innovation.😂😎😤
