Why are people getting so excited for Nextbit’s first smartphone?

There’s a good chance that you’ve never even heard about Nextbit, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to the new smartphone the company will unveil next month. The startup was founded as the developer of a little-known cloud-based tool for Android users but has since decided to focus on creating hardware, and it certainly has the experience to do so. Many of Nextbit’s employees are mobile industry veterans and former employees of companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and HTC, so a lot us have high hopes for the company’s first-ever smartphone.
