Resume
NexPhone dual-boots Android, Debian Linux and Windows 11 on the same phone.
Shipping for the NexPhone has been pushed back to March 2027 (end of Q1) after 14 years of development.
New pre-orders will cost $599, but people who pre-ordered the original $549 won’t have to pay extra.
You usually only have one operating system on your phone, but what if you could choose between Android, Linux, and Windows 11? It sounds ambitious, but it’s a key selling point for NexPhone, which has been around for 14 years. The phone was originally slated to launch later this year, but unfortunately, it was pushed back by a few months.
The NexPhone has been delayed until March 2027
A few months more than 14 years?
If you’ve never heard of it, the NexPhone is designed to run Android, Linux (specifically Debian), and Windows 11 in dual boot. It has been working for a long time; in fact, this very video above was published in its entirety in 2012. It was originally slated for release at the end of 2026, but it has been pushed back. According to an updated statement on the NexPhone website:
Our estimated delivery window is now the end of Q1 2027 (March 2027). New pre-orders are priced at $599, while the device is priced at $549, or $599 for reserved customers. NexPhone is currently running Android 17 on development devices, with Linux and Windows continuing development.
I’m not sure how they squeeze all this functionality into a $599 phone, but I’m willing to check it out when it comes out. You can order yourself on the NexPhone website if you are interested like me.
