Nex Computer has pushed the launch of its NexPhone smartphone back by more than a year, shifting the delivery date from the originally planned third quarter of 2026 to March 2027. This delay matters because buyers who reserved the device with a $199 deposit must wait significantly longer for a phone that promises to run three distinct operating systems simultaneously. The extended timeline suggests the company is still refining the complex software architecture required to support this unique tri-OS configuration.

The NexPhone is a hardware device built around the Qualcomm QCM6490 processor, which serves as the foundation for its multi-system capabilities. It comes equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage to handle the demands of running multiple environments. The screen is a 6.58-inch IPS panel that provides a 1080p+ resolution and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate for visual clarity.

Nex Phone Specifications

  • Processor: Qualcomm QCM6490
  • RAM: 12 GB
  • Storage: 256 GB
  • Display: 6.58-inch IPS, 1080p+, 120 Hz
  • Operating Systems: Android 17, Debian , Windows 11

A defining feature of the device is its ability to support Android 17, Debian Linux, and Windows 11 as primary operating systems. The Windows 11 implementation uses a custom mobile user interface that mimics the design language of the classic Windows Phone era. This configuration allows users to switch between a standard mobile ecosystem, a full Linux desktop environment, and a familiar Microsoft interface on the same hardware.

The NexPhone is priced at $599, which includes the cost of the hardware and the software licenses for the three operating systems. Reservations require a $199 deposit, with the remaining balance due upon shipment. The device is available globally, but customers should expect the physical delivery to align with the new March 2027 schedule rather than the previous 2026 target.

Nex Computer confirmed the delay in a recent blog post, acknowledging that the original Q3 2026 window was missed. The company is now focusing on finalizing the software integration before mass production resumes. The NexPhone remains a unique experiment in mobile computing, offering desktop-class operating systems in a smartphone form factor.
