Nextbit announced that its Robin smartphone will be available for $299 through Amazon from May 4th through May 10th. That's $100 lower than the current price available from Nextbit's online store and matches the price that early Kickstarter backers were able to get the device for last year.
The Robin features a unique industrial design and a software system that will automatically back up your photos and apps to Nextbit's cloud servers, extending the device's 32GB to more than 100GB without the use of an SD card or higher costs associated with more on-board storage. The phone recently received a software update that improved camera performance and updated the system to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The limited Amazon sale begins at 12AM PT / 3AM ET on May 4th and will run through May 10th.
