Um, no.

ARM vs x86 processors - nope.
Yes, I'm aware Microsoft has a version of Windows 10 that will be working with laptops powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC, but that's not out yet and likely won't be available for consumers to install anyways.

Alright, with Windows 8 around the corner, was wondering if anyone is working on Win8 arm port for our Galaxy s3's (and im not talking about the international version cause that one got exynos which will never be compatible with windows environment due to lack of drivers and low ram) but our Galaxy S3 runs on same chipset (S4 Plus) that win8 tablets will be running so maybe somone's is planning on port?!
Nope.

Anything (almost) is possible. But I highly doubt it. Android on the MS Surface (ARM flavor) is more likely.

A future Samsung wp8 phone may be based on the GS3 hardware. That could get wp8 rolling at least.

Won't happen. Android is open source so rom makers can make their roms as they want however windows phone 8 is not. If somebody released a rom if even possible Microsoft would come down on them like a tornado and rightly so.

he's talking about Windows 8 not WinPhone 8
i had the exact same question.
It's possible to have Windows 8 on the s3 I guess, but it's not open source?
Not sure if Microsoft would approve

That's the best thing they could do. The SGS3 outsold the iPhone 4s in the US, they could ride that success train easily.

Dual boot could be nice, like I did with my old I phone 3G when I installed android and iOS in dual boot with bootlace

I don't recall the GS3 being ARM-based to actually support Windows 8 RT.....
Any Microsoft WinCrap software is NOT open source .. so for anyone trying to port that over to our phones would be illegal .. and if someone trys to port Windows 8 RT onto an SGS3 .. it definately WOULD NOT be on XDA.

What mobile processor is not Arm based? Razr I's.
I can't think of a single reason you'd want Windows 8 on your phone anyway.
Besides, getting it to run on any ARM based mobile is about a lot more than just having an ARM based processor.

wow... for someone raging as hard as you are on Microsoft, you should at least check your spelling.
why hate so much? i have 2 surface rt tablets and there is no other mobile OS that can do what i do on them. even though i'll be honest android is better for porn.
Now on op's question windows 8 rt is not going to be possible.
Pixel XL 2 yet?

No, not yet....
New forums don't usually get added until the device has at least been officially announced.
I thought it was officially announced?

Coming October 4: The Google Pixel 2

Announced for 7.0 I believe. 2 years later and games aren't supporting it? Anyone have any idea?

It's not hard to find. You get it directly from Epic Games

The phone can't handle it. It requires more RAM. Also the game needs to be optimized for better performance. Also Pixel 2 XL isn't the best at gaming. There are other phones out there which do a fsr better job at this
I'm not seeing the "Live Caption" function in Android 10 on my Pixel 2 XL. Do we know which phones this is available on? And do we know if it's coming to the Pixel 2 line as well?
Thanks, Alan

Well ... that doesn't answer my question. I'm asking about a Pixel device.
Does anyone know if and when Live Caption is coming to Pixel 2?

Yes it does answer your question. Reread the answer and it's "Later this fall".
