2015-09-16
and today's see a flat slabs it's hard to deny that even though today's smartphones are very capable products they aren't really smart about learning more about its user next fit is a new smartphone company that intends to change that and we were recently invited to learn more I'm high memory better with pocket now here at CTIA in Las Vegas and let's talk about the next fit Robin next bid has already garnered a lot of fame for a ton of reasons over the last couple of weeks to start its leadership team is composed by some of the genius and minds that made Android what it is today and that made HTC famous for design as well second is the fact that the company's next bit robin kickstarter campaign became a raging hit in just a few minutes but even more because the company has come up with a smarter approach to how android should feed on its own the next bit Robin is one of the boldest smartphone designs that we've seen in years it's polycarbonate finish on the edges and metallic back give it a very pleasant feel in the hand the sharp corners are extremely elegant at first sight this squared finish then comes in contrast with the circular accents all over the device giving it a very futuristic look all around from the round finish of the circular front firing stereo speakers to the accent on the side buttons it's really hard for this film to not turn a couple of heads at first glance when it comes to specifications we have a 5.2 inch 1080p IPS LCD powered by a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor 3 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage that's matched by a hundred gigabytes of next vid cloud storage we have a 13 megapixel face detection camera with dual tone flash a 5-megapixel selfie shooter and then the usual LTE support with addition to Wi-Fi a total of an AC a 2680 milliamp hour battery and even a side mounted fingerprint scanner on the power button now with its powerful hardware and great design and even more important story lies in its software given the fact that the hardware is still at a very early stage we received the glimpse of it on a nexus and its speed and fluidity are just part of the story it does seem like stock Android marshmallow at first glance but this particular software package is meant to be unique and that it works together with the next fill out storage the software was designed to learn from its user in every way and its first iteration will focus on storage management whenever you run out of storage the device will suddenly notice which applications you use least and then gray them out this process uninstalls the application but leaves the grey icon of the application and all your data for the application remains as well if you ever need the application again you simply tap on the grey button and it will simply reinstall the application and return it to its exact previous state just like if you've had it on the phone all along this feature alone is genius and probably one of the things that everybody would like to see on Android because while storage is definitely a problem for those of you that want to enhance your experience and really don't want a hassle with the fact that you want to manage what things you keep on the phone and what things you don't the same goes for your photos and other information that you rarely access but again this is just the beginning next bit is also working on future ways to make the phone smarter by learning from your user scenarios this is definitely one of the oldest approaches to a smart phone that we've seen in years and we cannot wait to have this particular product for review we've got a ton of coverage coming from CTIA in Las Vegas so make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our YouTube channel as well you can follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore Iveta on instagram @ high memory beta please give this video thumbs up if you like what you saw I am Jaime better thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next one
