At present, Android 13 DP1 has been released, and Google will focus on the privacy and security of the system, as well as providing developers with functions such as productivity and application compatibility. Aside from the known skins and features like the new photo picker, other updates will be consistent with OpenJDK 11.
It is worth mentioning that now a foreign Android and network developer @kdrag0n has conducted an experiment, flashed the Android 13 DP1 system on its Pixel 6 model, and implemented a virtual machine to start the ARM version of the Windows 11 system.

According to the developer’s description, the Pixel 6 model runs Windows 11 in good condition, but does not yet support GPU hardware acceleration. The running situation is much better than before, the pressure on the CPU, I/O and RAM of the mobile phone is much less, and the basic performance is close to the level of native hardware.

In addition, the developers also ran various Linux distributions to test the operation, and released a real machine operation video for the reference of netizens.

The developer said that the smoothness of running the Windows 11 system on the mobile phone virtual machine this time is basically due to the addition of a new virtualization framework to Android 13, which effectively and significantly improves the ability of virtualization, and will be the focus of Google’s vigorous development in the future.
