Nextbit moves in with Razer, stops selling Robin
From what it sounds like, the gaming hardware company is essentially taking on Nextbit as its new mobile division. That means a shift in infrastructure.

Nextbit Robin priced down to $145 on Amazon
The pricing cascade continues for the original Nextbit Robin. With no perceivable sequel on the horizon and a faithful, old friend of a phone that can beam up any stray bits of storage if you need it on your phone, it might as well be priced as low as it currently is.
How low? Try $144.99 on Amazon. Remember that we first set eyes on the bird in late 2015, saw its retail launch earlier this year and we’ve seen its retail value drop by 64 percent since then.
The Robin comes in Mint/White and Midnight/Black color combos and with a year’s warranty in the United States.

Nextbit Robin gets early taste of Nougat with sanctioned help from Paranoid Android
While you can still probably count the number of non-Nexus Android device models officially updated to Nougat, at least in one country or on one carrier, on the fingers of one hand, there are many more from several manufacturers treated to public beta builds.
Ambitious startup Nextbit today follows Samsung, Sony or Huawei’s suit with an experimental 7.0 rollout of its own for pre-release Robin software testers. The unique and surprising thing about the cloud-first phone’s beta community program is that Nextbit’s devs have actually partnered with the Paranoid Android team to “speed things along.”
Second only to CyanogenMod, PA is a hugely popular custom Android ROM with an estimated 200K+ users as of last year. This is likely the first time an OEM shows such openness to this particular open-source initiative, apparently being “there every step of the way” to help shape up and test its early N builds.
What courageous and cooperative Nextbit Robin owners will be getting over-the-air starting today is thus a joint effort to stabilize and improve the Nougat experience as quickly as possible without modifying too many stock features.
A “few bugs and kinks” obviously still “need to be worked out”, but otherwise, Nextbit and Paranoid Android hope your introductory beta version of the next software release will only make your “day-to-day experience” better, requiring minimal additional efforts and time before a proper, wide-scale launch takes place.

Midnight Nextbit Robin on Amazon just $170
A good cloud phone just got that much more affordable. And it’s about time, too — Nextbit is just nearly a year into its tenure on Amazon with its Robin smartphone.
After starting at $400, we’ve now dropped to a standard $200 on Amazon and now a cool $169.99 for the Midnight version. Yep, it’s that affordable to get a decent phone with a decent Snapdragon 808, a decent screen and 100GB of cloud storage to back up your apps, files and most everything else you might need.
Alas, no word on duration of this cost cut nor any word on if that Ember Robin will come on at a lower price.
