TL;DR

  • For smartphone users looking for a desktop replacement, the NexPhone wants to offer a choice of three popular operating systems.
  • In addition to desktop support for Android, Linux Debian, and Windows 11, there’s full mobile compatibility, including a custom Windows UI.
  • Shipments are expected to get started in Q3 2026, with the hardware going for a reasonably affordable $549.

I really want to see how windows 11 runs on this thing. It's at least 12 gigs of ram and not 8. But still. That's a few generations old Snapdragon CPU.

Btw, the 549$ seems to be early bird pricing, with 199$ that it requests first.

I'm not sure if I just misunderstood you but, the article does say the pre-order/reservation is a deposit that is for the phone. so you would only own an additional 349(plus shipping and fees) at shipping not 549 + deposit

A NexPhone reservation entitles you to purchase NexPhone before general availability.
Price: $549
Reservation deposit: $199, refundable
Remaining balance: $350
At shipping: the remaining balance plus shipping and any applicable taxes/duties will be due.
