Microsoft is testing Android Apps on Windows 11

The launch of Windows 11 has brought quite a few changes to the overall user experience, including a less functional task bar and potential support for Android apps. While Windows 11 OS, as it stands at the moment, does not support Android apps, Microsoft has begun testing Android apps on the OS to ensure that it can do so in a future update. This should help create a more seamless experience for users who rely on multiple apps to get through the day.

What apps will be available on WIndows 11?

Microsoft has teamed up with Amazon and its app store to start testing Android apps and the way they function on the WIndows 11 OS. Some of the apps that it aims to bring users include Amazon’s Kindle app, The Washington Post app, Clash of Kings, Coin Master and Lego Duplo World.

Currently, these apps can be used by those who are on the Beta build. However, they will be soon rolled out to everyone once the initial bugs and glitches are fixed by Microsoft’s developers. 

These apps will also work on AMD and Intel devices, and will be running on what the company calls “The Windows Subsystem for Android,”. This subsystem runs on Intel’s Intel Bridge Technology. 

What are the requirements to run apps on Windows?

In order to run apps on your WIndows-based laptops, you will need the Windows 11 OS. This means that your PC should ideally fulfill all of Microsoft's requirements for being able to run the WIndows 11 OS. Additionally, your PC must have virtualization enabled.

The Amazon Prime Membership in India is about to get more expensive

Amazon has confirmed that the price for the Amazon Prime Membership in India will be increasing by up to 50%, which translates to roughly Rs 500 for the annual package. The rate hike will apply to all the different types of memberships the company offers. Amazon will continue to offer access to Prime Video, Amazon Music, Prime Reading, and Prime Gaming under the same membership package.

Amazon Prime Membership in India: New prices

As per Amazon’s announcement, you can expect the following changes in membership prices:

Plan

Current Price

Monthly

Rs. 129

Rs. 179

Quarterly

Rs. 329

Rs. 459

Yearly

Rs. 999

Rs. 1499

Prime Young Adult Monthly

Rs. 64 (Rs. 65 cashback)

Rs. 89 (Rs. 90 cashback)

Rs. 229 (Rs. 230 cashback)

Prime Young Adult Yearly

Rs. 499 (Rs. 500 cashback)

Rs. 749 (Rs. 750 cashback)

 

 

Amazon’s affordable pricing in India is what has helped the platform maintain an edge over Netflix. With other OTT platforms such as Disney+ Hotstar, Voot, Zee5 and others offering annual plans that don’t exceed Rs 999, Amazon may end up seeing a dip in their subscriber base. To combat this, the platform is probably working behind the scenes on increasing its content offerings. Hopefully, this means we’ll see a surge in content, and Family Man Season 3 launches sooner than later!
