Windows 11 works very well on a smartphone running Android 13, the proof in video

On Twitter, developer Danny Lin posted several screenshots and videos of his Pixel 6. His achievement? Successfully run Windows 11 on the smartphone. A feat that is actually not really one (for those who know what they are doing), thanks to the virtual machine offered by Android 13.

At first glance, Android 13 doesn’t seem like a big update. The first known features are certainly very practical, but do not necessarily revolutionize the operating system. Proof of this is the passage to 6 applications on the taskbar or the possibility of changing profiles from the lock screen.

However, on closer inspection, some features are clearly worth a look. Thanks to developer Danny Lin, otherwise known as KDragOn, we know for example that it is possible to run Windows 11 on the OS. The latter has indeed shared screenshots of the virtual machine of his Pixel 6, on which we can see the Microsoft operating system.

The feat is not new, because the Renegade Project developer collective had already transposed Windows 11 to a OnePlus 6 T. Still, the performance is impressive, in addition to giving an overview of Android 13’s capabilities in this area. Indeed, although graphics acceleration has not been activated, KdragOn explains that the results obtained are very correct.

To show what his smartphone is capable of, the developer even went so far as to launch Doom, after plugging in a keyboard. If this experience is above all a running gag in the middle, it shows that Google has not botched the functionality. As such, the latter will likely be the first truly notable update.

It remains to be seen whether the Mountain View company will continue its momentum, and whether the old fantasy of obtaining a single device for all its uses will become a reality. Until then, the next betas of Android 13, available in a few months, will already tell us a little more.
