A smartphone that earned over $1.3 million on Kickstarter is offering users extra space to save apps. The Nextbit Robin uses cloud storage over and above its 32 GB internal storage, giving users an extra 100 GB, USA Today explains. Apps that have been stored in the cloud appear gray compared to those on the phone, USA Today reports.
The Android phone runs 6.0, has a 5.2-inch, 1080p display and runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, according to The Verge. It also features duel front-facing speakers, a 13-megapixel sensor and a five-megapixel front camera.
The Robin costs $399 and comes unlocked, The Verge reports. It can be used on AT&T or T-Mobile. A version for Verizon and Sprint will be released later this year.
The biggest issue with the phone has been how the cloud-stored apps appear alongside the active apps, according to CNET. Another issue was the time it takes to download the apps over Wi-Fi or the data it costs to download archived apps or photos without Wi-Fi.
The phone is not without its kinks, but it overall a stylish, one-of-a-kind phone, according to PC World. Nextbit is reportedly preparing to fix any issues the phone has, but it's still unlike any other Android phone available.
