If you are quite bored with Android, then maybe try Windows 10 instead? It might sound stupid, but it’s not. Evisio0n - a programmer in China has successfully installed Windows 10 on two Android phones. In this case, they are the Xiaomi Mi 6 and Samsung Galaxy S8.
The programmer first tried to install Windows 10 on his Xiaomi Mi 6. It was supposed to be an error, but with the Windows version for ARM x64 devices, the Xiaomi Mi 6 was able to successfully boot and load the keyboard input selection screen.
After successfully installing Windows 10 on Xiaomi Mi 6 (running Snapdragon 835), the Chinese programmer appears to have managed to expand his project to several other flagships, including the Galaxy S8. However, installing the OS on the Galaxy S8 is still at an early stage of development, so some key features aren’t working, including touch functionality, cameras, several sensors, and more.
To clarify, Windows 10 x64 ARM is not a feature-cutting version of Windows 10, this is actually a full version and users can run and install the .exe file right on the Xiaomi Mi 6. The features will be identical to the desktop version.
Qualcomm has previously demonstrated the ability to install the Windows 10 OS on devices running the Snapdragon 820 chip, specifically a tablet with 4GB of RAM. The result was very positive when popular apps such as Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop or even 3D World of Tanks game could run with very stable performance.
Of course, in order to do the above, you need to have a certain amount of knowledge about hardware and software, as well as bear the risk if any problems occur to your device.
