Technology is fast evolving and its faster than ever. Cloud computing is the future and unleashing its power on your smartphone is the next big thing. It is just not enough to produce the hardware for a phone. San Francisco-based device maker Nextbit has made a quick switch with its flagship “Cloud first” Android device Robin in India and its hitting the market in a big way.
Robin, the first Android smartphone with integrated cloud storage, is a fresh feeling from the Chinese players that dominate the market.
Nextbit is a startup which is backed by Apple, Google and HTC. Prices at Rs.19,999, Robin automatically switches to cloud storage when a user starts running out of space on the device.
Here are some specifications that you need to know about:
- The rectangle-shaped phone — in mint and midnight colour options — has a flat USB Type-C cable.
- The device is built entirely with plastic but the soft texture feels different. The identical speaker and earpiece space give the design symmetry.
- Next to the earpiece are the 5 MP front-camera and the light sensor.
- The 5.2-inch IPS panel display with a full-HD resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection makes it a complete choice.
- The round volume buttons are placed on the left while the single Nano-SIM tray and power button are on the right.
- The 13MP rear camera has a dual-tone LED flash unit and comes with a series of LED lights below.
- The company offers smart storage feature that gives a 100GB cloud storage in addition to the 32GB internal memory.
