In the YouTube video posted by Mark Spurrell, it was seen him converting this new foldable into a fully functioning Windows phone. Although, Mark didn’t actually fully hack the system of the phone instead he just added up a highly customizable Windows launcher which will be working on top of the Android on which this smartphone has been working.
To get this new Windows look, there are two new launchers being used here where one launcher will be used for the outer display and then the other launcher will be used for the bigger inner screen.
NOTE: It was not possible t use two separate launchers somehow Spurrell has worked on this limited with a new Bixby Routine.
However, as we mentioned here even the outer screen has been utilized where we will get to see a Square Home which showcases a Metro-inspired interface. And as you jump inside to a bigger 7.6-inch display, here you will see the fully functioning Windows which is operated by a Win-X launcher onboard.
