hey what's up guys is never of here 400 authority at CTIA 2015 and we're taking a quick look at the next bit Robin which is a really cool and unique device that ain't to supercharge the smartphone experience with the power of the cloud rather than the boring smartphone designed that we've seen on other devices the next bit Robin comes in this really cool white and mint color and it's got this really nice unique design if you'd rather something a little more traditional the midnight color which is dark blue and almost black is also actually very nice as well up front we've got the 5.2 inch 1080p IPS screen which is flanked by two dual front-facing stereo speakers with dual amps given that former HTC One VP Scott crow designed the Robin we're expecting the speakers to be similar to HTC boomsound to the side of the top of speaker we've got the five megapixel front facing camera and the sensors and as you can see circles make up a big part of the next bit design with the volume keys on the left also circular and quite easy to press on the right we've got the fingerprint scanner built into the power button like the experience at five range and the mint colored SIM card tray which remains the same color whichever color Robin you buy moving to the back and there's a 13 megapixel camera that lets you capture and bra and comes with phase detection autofocus and a dual led true tone flash beneath the camera we've got the next bit logo and four LEDs which light up when the Robin is talking to the cloud and look around the funky the Robin is about more than hardware though and the software is where next bit may be on to something truly special as this model is an early prototype and isn't running the full next bit OS the companies show no suit software running on an LG Nexus 5 the cloud features include the ability to offload frequent infrequently used apps to the cloud to free up space on the handset once offloaded you're left with the grayed out icon and you can restore an app and its data including any login credentials just by tapping the icon and don't worry guys the Robin uses Wi-Fi by default unless you to use your data the launcher comes in two flavors with one offering a simplified homescreen and the other a classic interface including an app drawer the Robin runs on android 5.1.1 lollipop and next pair are already working on the marshmallow update if you switch the launcher you'll still be able to make use of any cloud features including the great hour icon the hands icon thirty two gigabytes of on-board storage which is expanded thanks to a further hundred gigabytes of lifetime free cloud storage on top other notable specs included Snapdragon 808 processor three gigabytes of RAM USB type-c NFC LT cat for a two thousand six hundred eighty milliamp hour battery and quick charging given the pre-production nature of the Robin will certainly impressed with both the hardware and the software and it's likely to be further refined before the handset launches early next year with the retail price of $399 or $349 if you back it on Kickstarter is certainly an interesting smartphone and for the most part the Robin certainly seems to deliver a unique experience so there you have it a quick look at the new crowdfunded next bit Robin and for more info don't forget to check out the written post which you'll find a link to in the description below what did you think of the Robin and were you one of its backers on Kickstarter let us know your views in the comments below give us a thumbs up down below if you like this video and don't forget to subscribe because we are your source for all things Android until next time
