Microsoft Launcher New Beta Launched With Surface Duo Update

Microsoft has launched a new version of the popular Microsoft Launcher for Android. This is a new beta version, but the preview only gets improvements and no real innovations.

Microsoft has released a new beta update for Microsoft Launcher for Android. The new update brings version 6.210102.940491 and a number of improvements. This includes providing further optimizations for the Surface Duo. This is interesting because Microsoft has confirmed that the double-display smartphone will soon also be available in Germany. This means that users can then use the alternative app launcher with the new duo.
