Following various leaks, Google finally released the first developer preview of Android 13 for its Pixel devices last week. Now, an Android developer has recently shared that Google’s upcoming Android version is much more flexible for running virtual machines with Linux and Windows 11 than previous versions. Let’s take a look at how this can happen.
After Google released the first developer preview of Android 13 last week, Android developer Danny Lin (aka Kdrag0n) took to Twitter to share that he was able to run “full-blown virtual machines” with “near-native performance” on the Pixel 6, thanks to Android 13 DP1. These virtual machines are of other operating systems such as various Linux distributions and Windows 11.

It is further suggested that Google’s Tensor chip also has a part to play in this. Additionally, this setup was also able to run the popular game Doom.
