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?
