Even though Windows 11 is an operating system that will be reserved for PCs, a Reddit user still wondered what Microsoft’s operating system would be like if it had also been introduced on mobile.
Despite the arrival of Surface Duo, Microsoft has not opted to adapt its operating system for mobile devices, which is a shame. In fact, according to the translations offered by “jeffmartinjr” on Reddit, Windows 11 could look great on a smartphone.
Unlike the experience of a user who has successfully installed Windows 11 on a Lumia 950 XL, everything looks modern and properly optimized for a mobile screen. How Microsoft Focused on Features for Dual-Monitor Computers, it’s a shame not to see such an operating system arrive on your own smartphone. We also know what the next Surface Duo 2 will look like, but it will run on Android.
Windows 11 mobile: what Windows Phone should have been
As can be seen in the renderings, the OS imagined by “jeffmartinjr” uses the system codes offered on a PC, with a Windows 11 logo as the main button, and the iconic blue wallpaper of the new operating system.
The artist also imagined how the apps and widgets would be laid out. The layout is similar to what’s already possible on Android, but it takes Windows 11 design codes. The control panel is also being revamped, with larger icons and volume and brightness bars that can be accessed at the bottom of the screen.
Settings and notifications also have nothing to envy in the upcoming Android 12, which will be released by the end of the year. Next October, we will also have the chance to try out the stable version of Windows 11, as confirmed by Intel last month. Microsoft long ago abandoned its Windows Phone, but such a design on a smartphone almost makes us want to see the OS come back. Unfortunately, these are just photoshopped images. The arrival of a new competitor would also be a good thing for the market, as for now it is divided mainly between iOS, Android and HarmonyOS.
