I hope you're wrong; there's several great Windows 10-capable phones already out that should have the horsepower to accomplish this. It would be a shame for such a useful feature to be limited to next year's devices.

The reason I said this is that Windows 10 universal apps compile to one binary (as MS claims) and how would this binary run on ARM chips?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I assume it would need something like this...

You can stick multiple arches in the same binary, much like OSX does. I think you can have ARM, PowerPC, and x86 in the same executable, each with 32-bit and 64-bit varieties.

The way I understood it, Windows 10 universal apps are truly universal; if your device runs Windows 10, it runs the app. This can be achieved as duaneb said, using the same method Apple has been using since the Intel switch 10 years ago.

I don't think horsepower is the constraint, it's running two displays at once.

[Guvante]

You don't need to run both if you don't want to. People would be fine with the phone turning off its display if that were necessary.

The real problem is USB-C which would be necessary to both charge your phone and have it connect devices.
