Nextbit starts crowdfunding campaign for Robin smartphone
2015-09-01 16:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The smartphone start-up Nextbit has unveiled its first phone, the Robin, via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Those contributing to the campaign will receive a discount on the phone and can expect to receive the first devices in January or February next year. The main innovation of the Android phone is integrated cloud storage. The Robin smartphone automatically backs up data and apps on the phone and intelligently adapts storage on the phone to free up space and improve performance. The software learns the apps used and the space needed and offloads other things to the cloud. Robin is expected to ship with Android Marshmallow and no third-party apps. It will come with an unlocked bootloader and open source drivers for adding other operating systems such as CyanogenMod, and the company promises to respect the warranty even if another OS is loaded or the phone is 'bricked'. Other specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB RAM, 32 GB onboard storage and 100 GB online, a 5.2-inch full HD IPS screen, 13MP rear camera with phase detection autofocus and dual-tone flash, 5MP front camera, 2,680 mAh battery, dual front-facing stereo speakers, fingerprint sensor, NFC, quick charging, Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band Wi-Fi and support for a wide range of LTE bands. Manufacturd by Foxconn, the Robin smartphone will come in a choice of mint and midnight blue colours. Nexbit, started by former HTC managers, aims to raise USD 500,000 in the Kickstarter campaign to finance production of the first phones.
