'Windows Mobile is back, sort of': US startup packs THREE OS in one smartphone in most exciting mobile release I've seen in years
NexPhone, priced at $549 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, aims to replace laptops and desktops with triple-OS support: Android, Debian Linux, and Windows 11 on ARM.
- Later this year, Nex Computer will ship the NexPhone, a triple‑OS smartphone running Android 16, Debian Linux and Windows 11, with refundable reservations for $199 and an early $549 price.
- Built from the NexDock team's work, the NexPhone continues a 14-year effort by Emre Kosmaz to create a phone that transforms into a PC, following Samsung DeX, Microsoft Continuum and other docking projects.
- The NexPhone is built around Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC, with 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, microSD up to 512GB, a 6.58‑inch FHD+ 120Hz display, 64MP Sony IMX787 camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.
- NexPhone will support standard Android OTA updates and Windows Update when booted into Windows; preorders include a USB‑C dock, a refundable $199 reservation, and Nex Computer warns success may prompt cheaper rivals.
- The chipset choice means the QCM6490 is midrange, so demanding Windows 11 on ARM tasks may feel sluggish despite 12GB RAM, and users cannot make calls while running Linux or Windows 11 on ARM.
