«I don't understand why anyone would buy anything other than Apple."With that forceful phrase, a venture capital investor rejected Emre Kosmaz's vision more than a decade ago."
Today, the founder of Nex Computer has the last laugh. After 14 years of waiting, six generations of NexDock docks and an industry that has finally matured enough, the company has officially announced the NexPhone: the materialization of the dream of carrying a universal workstation in your pocket.
14 years pursuing total convergence
The story of the NexPhone is not your typical one. corporate roadmap designed in a boardroom, since It is a project of passion and stubbornnessFrom that first concept video in 2012, Kosmaz clearly saw that the future lay not in having multiple devices, but in a single, transformable one. While the industry tentatively flirted with ideas like Microsoft Continuum or Samsung DeX, Nex Computer kept the flame alive by manufacturing accessories to turn phones into laptops. Now, taking advantage of the fact that Android 16 has adopted a desktop mode native and robust, The company has decided that it is time to eliminate intermediaries. and manufacture their own "super-phone".
The device is presented with a unique value proposition.A device capable of operating in three different states. For everyday use, it functions as a phone. Android 16 Clean and bloatware-free. For developers and enthusiasts, it offers an environment Debian GNU/Linux full It runs on demand like a GPU-accelerated application, without needing to restart. And when the power of a traditional PC is required, the device allows a dual-boot in Windows 11, effectively transforming into a mini ARM PC.
As a self-funded startup without the backing of large investment funds, Nex Computer has made bold and efficient hardware decisions. Instead of chasing the latest Snapdragon processor a fashion trend that would become obsolete in two years, They have opted for the Qualcomm QCM6490This chip, geared towards the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), is not looking to break benchmark records, but to offer longevity: it has guaranteed support until 2036.
Based on feedback from thousands of NexDock users working in the field, the NexPhone is not a fragile glass jewel, but a work tool designed to be extremely rugged and durable. IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H military resistance certificationsIt is designed to survive the real world. Accompanying the processor, We found 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, balanced specifications to manage multitasking across its three operating systems.

Windows on 6 inches and the reality of the market
One of the most interesting challenges that Kosmaz's team has solved is the Windows usability on a 6,58-inch screenSince Microsoft's desktop interface is unmanageable in portrait mode, they have developed a custom mobile interface for when Windows 11 is running on a phone screen, making navigation easier until the user can connect it to an external monitor.
The NexPhone It doesn't aim to replace your current thousand-dollar flagship from day one, but rather to position itself as the ultimate secondary device or the main tool for technical profiles. With a final price of $549 (and a reservation system with a refundable deposit of $199), the device It includes a USB-C charger for easy connection to peripherals. Shipments are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026, thus closing a development cycle that began when many of its future users were just in high school.
