Nextbit Robin

The Nextbit Robin was an Android smartphone manufactured by Nextbit. The phone was marketed as "Cloud-first" where it utilized cloud storage to store data which wouldn't be used for a long period of time, thus saving space in the device's local storage.

Specifications
Hardware The Robin was designed with a distinctive aesthetic, primarily constructed from durable polycarbonate material that features a smooth, matte finish. This design choice not only provided a premium feel but also helped in reducing the overall weight of the device, making it comfortable to hold and use. The front of the Robin is protected by Gorilla Glass 4, a toughened glass known for its resistance to scratches and minor impacts, which helps maintain the clarity and integrity of the display over time. Weighing approximately , the Robin strikes a balance between sturdiness and portability. Its dimensions— in height, in width, and in thickness—contribute to its sleek profile, making it both pocket-friendly and ergonomic for one-handed use. The device is equipped with a IPS LCD screen, which offers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles. The display resolution is set at 1920 x 1080 pixels, translating to a pixel density of 424 ppi, ensuring crisp and clear visuals whether you're watching videos, playing games, or browsing the web. To complement the processing power, the Robin was equipped with 3 GB of LPDDR3 RAM. This amount of memory allowed users to switch between apps and manage background processes without significant slowdowns. Additionally, the device's hardware supports a range of connectivity options, including LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC, making it versatile in various environments. The inclusion of dual front-facing speakers also enhances the media consumption experience, providing clear and balanced audio directly towards the user. When installed applications, for example, were not used by the user for a long period; the smartphone automatically detected them and archived them into the cloud to reduce internal storage usage. It also adapted to the usage patterns of the user and performed the backup process whenever applicable. The smartphone also stored the user's photos in the cloud in the default resolution appropriate for upload, until the user specified the resolution. ==Reception==
Reception
Sales Pre-orders after the Kickstarter campaign began in October 2015, with shipping set to start in February 2016. During the preorder period, the Nextbit Robin had estimated arrival time of February. The phone stopped being produced in January 2017, following the companies acquisition by Razer Inc. These issues were marked as resolved by Nextbit by releasing software updates in March and April. However, issues persist for many users. The smartphone was also quite easy to bend with both hands due to its all plastic housing, as was tested by Zack Nelson on his YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. ==References==
