Overview
- Nex Computer is taking refundable $199 deposits toward the $549 device, with shipments targeted for Q3 2026.
- The midrange handset runs Android with a desktop mode, offers a Linux desktop that can run as an app, and can dual‑boot into full Windows 11 for use with an external display.
- Windows requires a reboot and uses a progressive‑web‑app mobile interface because Microsoft ended Windows Subsystem for Android support in March 2025, according to the company.
- Desktop output was shown via DisplayLink during the demo, with standard USB‑C video planned once Nex Computer finishes its driver.
- Specs include Qualcomm’s QCM6490 chipset, a 6.58‑inch 120Hz display, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, 5G, MIL‑STD‑810H durability with IP68/IP69 ratings, a 5,000mAh battery, a 64MP rear camera, and wireless charging.
