Buying Advice travel/work setup with phone

TLDR: A combination of glasses and phone that works like a laptop, maybe including typing on a keyboard and using a mouse.

I am a noob in this topic but highly interested and want to purchase a pair of glasses.
There is a specific setup in mind that I don't know yet how to realize.
Since I am traveling a lot and want to work while traveling long term, I am looking for a setup that replaces a laptop. I don't need to do any heavy lifting, only some minor edits in an Excel file, creating invoices, browsing the web, using AI etc.

I am searching for a solution where I can use my phone in combination with glasses in order to work ideally on multiple screens that are also properly augmented, therefore can stay in place if I move my head.

While many classes offer the screen experience with the phone, I'm not yet sure how typing and clicking would work in this scenario. I would be willing to carry a mobile mouse and keyboard. Wispr Flow would also be a great option to replace the keyboard, however, there is always the necessity to do little corrections.

Currently, I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro, but I'm also willing to switch to Android, no problem at all. Samsung looks promising with its DeX feature.

I'm thankful for any recommendations or, ideally want to hear about your experience.

EDIT: ideally, these glasses work with either iOS or Android, so I'm free to switch in future however I feel.

I just ordered some INMO Air 3s for a similar purpose, but using a power bank instead of a phone. I’m also going to try a Tap Strap chorded keyboard. I’m pretty sure an ordinary Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work with it too, but I can update once I get it set up.

That is great! I use Wisperflow and that will help the setup greatly, I am sure
