Accompanying the revamped Siri could be a new AI-powered wearable the size of an AirTag, according to fresh rumors this week from The Information.
This smartphone can run three operating systems: Android, Linux, and Windows.
When you boot Android, you can use it as a normal Android phone, and you can enable Android's native desktop mode in Android 16.
If you launch the NexPhone with Windows, the company has a custom mobile user interface of Microsoft's operating system (very reminiscent of Windows Phone Metro UI) to make it easy to use on a phone display.
And when plugged into an external monitor, you can enjoy the full Windows 11 desktop experience.
