Nextbit isn’t exactly a well-known name in the mobile world, and neither is Baton, the cloud-based transfer tool that it released for Android devices last year. Even so, the company popped up on everyone’s radar last month when it announced that it would be releasing its own smartphone. What this announcement especially notable was the talent that Nextbit has in its possession, which includes veterans of the mobile industry from Google, HTC, and other big-name companies. After a few weeks of waiting, the company has taken the wraps off of this supposedly game-changing smartphone, known as Robin, and it’s definitely one of the most interesting devices I’ve seen in a while. 

We’re Nextbit. We made a smartphone that brings the power of the cloud to everyone with an integrated cloud OS. We made it because we’re tired of waiting on others. Because we believe in a cloud-first future. And because no one else was making the phone we wanted. This is the phone we want, and we think you’ll want it too. Smarter. Powerful. Bold. And, direct to you. Now we need your help. Back us to help make next a reality now. Unlike anything before it — Robin has the cloud integrated right into Android OS, and it’s perfectly tuned hardware is optimized to take every advantage of it. It can do what others can’t — seamlessly expanding its storage online so you always have the space you need for what you want most. By tapping the unlimited potential of the cloud, Robin delivers beyond its specs. Robin intelligently adapts to your storage needs, and automatically optimizes the space on your phone when it sees you need it. By learning the apps you use and the space you need, Robin offloads the stuff you don’t use to the cloud. So you can have everything you want (in the cloud), and just what you need (on your phone).
