Hold it like a phone and you might run Android apps.
It also has two operating systems: Android and a custom version of Debian Linux.
It currently runs Android 5.1, but support for Android 6.0 is said to be in the works.
The phone stays fully functional, Intels Nir Metzer, Path Finding Group Manager, told the Register.
I have a multi-window environment.
As soon as I plug in I can do spreadsheets, I can drag and drop, play video.
Achieving all this on a low-end platform is a challenge, said Metzer.
Also, the smartphone screen turns off while using the gear in desktop mode.
In addition, Android also does continue to run in the background.
The version of Linux used is retained by Intel.
We need to align between the Linux versions and the Android, said Metzer.
The framework is pre-installed, not an app you’ve got the option to download.
