The interface has a feel somewhat like Windows 7, and you can immediately tell you’re using something serious. Any PC user will be instantly comfortable with its conventional window controls, taskbar, system icons, start menu and so on.
The Phoenix team has included its own file manager and text editor. And while not amazing to use (they’re okay…), they’ve had the good sense to include the keyboard shortcuts we’ve all become accustomed to – something usually missing in Android apps.
Performance is pretty decent, with full-screen HD videos running nicely, and the system seems stable, with camera and sleep functions not crashing the machine. We did have some trouble with the taskbar getting in the way of full-screen videos, but when we set it to auto-hide, the whole system fell into place!
With all the tweaking done, it becomes a very simple system. Run Google Play, install app, run app.
Of course, not all Android apps run on a PC. and some really need a touch screen – not much you can do about
that. But the Phoenix team has worked wonders with its window manager, and appears to have even solved the ultimate problem of apps wanting to run full-screen in the wrong orientation.
Desktop Android makes sense because there’s already an established software ecosystem, familiar to most consumers. Nevertheless. Android laptops have already tried and failed to break into the market. However, an OS like this is a game changer, and could spawn a new wave of ultra-cheap ARM computers that Joe Public might actually want to use.
It will first need to be properly localized for Western markets, with full translating and irrelevant Chinese software removed. But once the flaws are fixed, this will be a true tour de force – it’s already dangerously close to something you could deploy en masse.
The remaining flaws mean we have to give this a slightly harsh score (though it’s worth at least another point if you’re Chinese!), but please look past that, because Phoenix OS is likely to be the future of the Android desktop.
Behold comfortable familiarity. Phoenix OS may finally have the Android desktop sorted. Much like a practical Toyota, it’s an excellent kind of boring.
Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers.
Phoenix OS looks and feels a lot like the now unsupported Remix OS. It's GPL-2.0 compliant and installs on many different kinds of x86-based hardware. (If you can install Linux on a specific computer, you can probably install Phoenix OS.)
Phoenix OS also includes improvements to Android, such as automatically preventing apps from running in the background. In addition to speed, the OS also receives regular updates. These features have contributed to its recent increase in popularity. A few China-only hardware companies will release tablets and mini with Phoenix OS as its primary operating system -- for example, the P10 2-in-1 tablet.
It also makes your laptop into faster. The Phoenix Os helps us to get more advanced technology. It is compatible for all laptop. It also helps beginners to play games easily. It is the most of all gamers. Thank you
Nice bruh
