NexPhone: A midrange Android that dual-boots Windows 11 and runs Linux
Nex Computer is pushing the NexPhone, a midrange smartphone that can dual-boot Windows 11 for a full PC experience when hooked to a monitor, while also offering Android and Linux desktop modes. It uses a Qualcomm QCM6490, is rugged (MIL-STD-810H, IP68/IP69), and packs a 5000mAh battery with a 64MP camera. Windows mode requires reboot and driver work (with a future USB-C/DisplayLink solution), while Linux runs as an app on the phone for desktop-like use. Shipping is planned for Q3 2026 at $549, with refundable $199 deposits.
