Microsoft recently released the beta version of the Windows 11 operating system and developers are already experimenting with it. Soon after the first preview of Windows 11 was released, the OS was ported to Lumia 950 XL smartphone.

Now, in a further development related to that, a new dialer for the smartphone has been added that is designed to run on Windows instead of Windows Mobile. Simone Franco, a Computer Engineering student has created this dialer.

Along with the addition of a dialer, there’s also a new contact page with an alphanumeric bar next to the scroll bar that allows users to quickly find contacts.

Last month, Gustave Monce had successfully installed Windows 11 preview build on the Lumia 950 XL smartphone which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon series chipset and has ARM-based support. In a video shared by the developer, the smartphone runs the full version of the Windows 11 operating system without major issues.

There seems to be some noteworthy performance improvement on the Lumia 950 XL running Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 which was ported earlier. This shows the increasing compatibility and could soon pave way for more ARM-based devices running the Windows operating system relatively smoothly.
