Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone with Windows 11 OS gets support for several new features

Last month, soon after Microsoft released the Windows 11 Preview, the Mi 8 smartphone from Xiaomi was flashed with the Windows 11 operating system. The development came soon after the newer OS was loaded on the Lumia 950 XL smartphone by some developers.

Now, a new report claims that the project of flashing the Windows 11 operating system on the Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone has made significant progress. A video related to the project reveals support for GPU, power management, Wi-Fi, and some other features working normally on the device.

However, nothing everything is working as intended. For instance, there are still issues with the Bluetooth driver and the graphics processor cannot render x64 programs. But we expect many of the issues will get resolved in the coming weeks or months, as the development keeps going on.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL and the Xiaomi Mi 8 aren’t the only smartphones running the Windows 11 operating system. As per the report, several devices powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC have successfully run the latest Windows OS.

The list of such smartphones includes OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, Xiaomi Pocophone F1, Meizu 16th, Meizu 16th Plus, Hammer Nut R1, Black Shark Phone 1, OPPO Find X, Xiaomi MIX2S, LG G7, Samsung S9+, Nubia X, Nokia 9 PureView, ASUS ZenFone 5Z, and Vivo NEX dual-screen version, among others.
