The new update will allow the handset to gradually charge overnight and reduce battery aging. Fast charging is a key feature for both modern smartphones and their users, however, frequent usage of the option can also degrade battery longevity with time. Other than these, Microsoft’s latest update has also added the optimised charging feature to the Surface Duo 2 foldable device. Earlier, users had to connect their Slim Pen 2 to a Surface PC to get these updates. However, it is important to note that the Slim Pen 2 needs to run the latest firmware and software for this feature to work, which can also be updated directly through Surface Duo 2.

The June update has also added a few Slim Pen 2 features that include - automatic firmware update and automatic pairing while using either screen.

Moreover, the Camera app now also supports Haptic feedback that users can enable from its settings. The company claims that the latest update has improved the “usability” of the Camera app, which can either mean quicker app loading or improved performance.
