Smartphone enthusiasts have always been keen on tweaking with their handsets. This interest can be in the form of flashing different customs ROMs to even a full fledged Microsoft Windows operating system. Now, the Xiaomi Mi 6 runs the latter, as it operates on the x64 ARM based system for Windows 10.
After successfully flashing the OS, users are met with the keyboard input selection screen once the device begins operating on Windows 10 system. Notably, Windows 10 x64 ARM system isn’t a cut down or smaller version of the popular operating system and can run similar to the desktop version. In other words, it can run .exe files and is equipped with features that can be found in the regular software as well.

In one of the early demos, Qualcomm had showcased the Windows 10 using the Snapdragon 820 SoC. The processor was found in a Windows 10 notebook, which is impressive considering it was powered by a mobile chipset. This laptop could run games like World of Tanks, play 4K videos, run MS Office 2019 and all the essential functions, similar to Intel’s entry level i3 Processor family.
This again goes to show just how far enthusiasts will go to tweak and test devices. It is currently unknown just how well the operating system works on the handset or how stable it actually is, but it is still an impressive feat nonetheless.
