A smartphone with Windows 11 has become a fact. This is not Microsoft, but a small company
Okay, but how is this supposed to work? Simple and very complicated at the same time. Well, we have a smartphone on which we can run not one, not two, but as many as three operating systems. The default is, of course, Android. It is with its help that we can do what we usually do on a smartphone. The second one is run from Android Debian. This is to provide us with access to the application database from Linux. The third option is to run independently, via dual boot Windows 11 ARM.

Because yes, the whole thing is supposed to run on an ARM processor. More specifically, the Qualcomm DragonWing QCM6490, which looks like a hardware copy of the Snapdragon 778G, but with official support for Windows 11 and manufacturer support until 2036. Windows 11 is to be the default system used when connecting the device to the docking station. Of course, we can connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor to it, and gain a full-fledged computer with Windows 11, but on ARM. And how will it work? Well… rather average, because we are talking about a relatively weak processor compared to the solutions known from the latest laptops with this system. You will see for yourself:
At this stage, it is worth moving on to the hardware specifications. This includes a 6.58-inch Full HD+ display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, the above-mentioned Qualcomm DragonWing QCM6490 processor, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB of built-in memory, which can be expanded with a memory card up to 512 GB, a 5000 mAh battery with charging up to 18 W, a 64 Mpix main camera, and water and dust resistance as standard. IP68/69K. As for the price, it will be $549 + taxes, which is probably about PLN 2,400.
