Igeekphone August 7 news, dual-screen folding mobile phone Microsoft Surface Duo originally ran the Android system, but before the developers created a project, so that users can replace the Android system with Windows 10 or 11 system. In this way, users can experience the functions and interfaces of desktop computers on their mobile phones. Recently, the project released a new driver version that brings some improvements and new features.
Igeekphone notes that the developers of the project have released the driver for version 2308.12 on GitHub. This release updates Qualcomm’s drivers, including the Adreno 640 graphics processor, Aqstic audio, Atheros wireless card and Bluetooth, Hexagon subsystem Manager and FastRPC bus, among others. In addition, this release addresses a number of system stability and security issues, such as fixing blue screen errors when installing Windows updates, adding support for Secure Boot Signed Exclusion Database (DBX) and BlackLotus mitigation measures. And improved compatibility with Windows Core OS products. Most notably, this version also supports Miracast, which allows users to wirelessly project the phone’s screen onto other devices.
Although the project has made a lot of progress, it is still an experimental project with many flaws and limitations, and only those who dare to replace the original system with a desktop system can try it. For example, the speakers on the device didn’t work properly, the brightness control was faulty, the charging was erratic (and it didn’t work when using Windows), and so on, the developers listed the known issues on GitHub.
It’s also worth noting that version 2308.12 is only available for first-generation Surface Duo phones. While it’s technically possible to run Windows 11 on a second-generation Surface Duo 2 phone, the project is just a barely working proof-of-concept for the machine.
