If this is going to be Linux phone, then a good use case would be to use it on desktop mode with an external monitor. They mention this on their website but they are planning on doing it with a convuluted wireless device?

Why not simply usb C with displayport alt mode?

I could just stick a dongle in there and connect all my peripherals. It's not new technology, that's what I do with my 3 year old phone.

Taken directly from the interview:

> Does one (or both) of the USB-C ports support DisplayPort Alt Mode, so that I can plug into a display without carrying accessories? > > Yes, at least one of the ports will provide direct DisplayPort output, allowing you to use the Nexx as a desktop without additional docks.

So indeed, it's going to have displayport!

I'm guessing their wireless dock is optional.
