I see it coming, in a very short time every Android and iOS phone will come with AI built-in and so intertwined in the phone that it’ll be impossible to remove. I would like to investigate alternatives. I do have a few requirements–
- 
Can run on ATT network (USA). 
- 
WiFi hotspot is a feature. 
- 
I need Ring Central for work. Therefore I would need to have some way of using Android apps, even if within a Linux or other system. 
Within those confines, what are the most promising options?


Any concrete news about their new phone yet?
