**Unboxing the Nextbit Robin: A Unique Android Device with Cloud Storage**

As I took out the Nextbit Robin from its packaging, I couldn't help but notice the sleek and minimalist design of this Android device. The Robin's design is quite different from other devices on the market, with a flat back and a rounded rectangular shape. While some may find this retro aesthetic to be appealing, it's essential to consider that this design choice might not appeal to everyone.

**Auto-Archiving Apps and Cloud Storage**

One of the standout features of the Nextbit Robin is its auto-archiving system, which automatically moves unused apps and photos to the cloud storage. This feature is designed to free up internal storage space on the device, and it's a great way to keep your device organized and clutter-free. According to the manufacturer, the app archiver will identify which apps you're not using most frequently and will move them to the cloud for you. The icon of the archived app will turn gray, indicating that it has been moved to the cloud storage.

However, it's essential to note that this feature may not be as seamless in India due to the limited availability of mobile data plans. When using the Robin on the go, archiving an app may require a significant amount of mobile data, which could lead to unnecessary data usage and additional costs.

**Stock Android Experience**

The Nextbit Robin runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box, providing a stock Android experience for users who are accustomed to this operating system. The device also features virtual buttons that double as multitasking gestures. However, some may find these gestures to be less intuitive than other devices.

**Storage and Performance**

The Nextbit Robin comes with 32GB of internal storage, which is relatively generous compared to other devices in the same price range. However, only 24.6GB of this space is currently available due to the auto-archiving system. This means that users will need to rely on cloud storage for their media files and apps if they run out of internal storage space.

**NFC and Fingerprint Scanner**

The Robin features NFC capabilities and an intuitive fingerprint scanner, which unlocks the device with a single press of the button. The fingerprint scanner is located at the back of the device, making it easy to access without having to remove your phone from a bag or pocket.

**Camera Performance**

The Nextbit Robin's camera is a 13-megapixel shooter with a 4:3 aspect ratio and support for 4K video recording. While the camera interface is simple and functional, some users may find it lacking in features compared to other devices on the market.

I took a few sample shots using the device, which were taken in semi-indoor conditions. The results were decent, but not spectacular. However, I was impressed by the camera's ability to capture good images in low-light conditions, although it still struggles in extreme environments.

**Pricing and Availability**

The Nextbit Robin is priced at $400 in the US, which translates to approximately ₹20,000 in India. Considering the device's unique features and performance, this pricing seems reasonable. However, some users may find the lack of a microSD card slot to be a limitation, particularly those who rely on expandable storage for their media files.

**Battery Life**

The Nextbit Robin boasts a 2,680mAh battery, which is relatively small compared to other devices in the same price range. This may lead to concerns about battery life, but I'm not sure how this will play out in real-world usage. Further testing and usage will be required to determine the actual battery life of this device.

Overall, the Nextbit Robin offers a unique blend of cloud storage and Android performance, making it an interesting option for users who value simplicity and organization. However, some features may require adjustments due to India's limited mobile data plans and lack of microSD card slots.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit and in this uh video we'll be doing the unboxing and have a first look at this next bit uh Robin uh which is a unique phone and they say that this is a phone with unlimited uh storage but I think so that marketing Mantra is false because it has cloud storage but that's restricted to 100 GB so let's open this up and this is a review unit and regarding the pricing and availability this product is sold in India via flip cart and it's priced at 20,000 rupees I'll have the link for flip cart in the show notes for your reference so let's just open this up and the packaging is very different and it says Hey Rebel meet the Robin and uh again it says that it does not run out of space ever because of cloud storage uh but uh the Restriction is that it's 100 GB of cloud storage it's not truly unlimited so that's the thing about this device and it does this cloud storage stuff in the back background so uh the thing is that you won't come to know about it and it comes with the USBC type Port but sadly the charger is not included in the Box as you can see we just have the phone itself and the USB C type uh cable so charger is something that is not there and it also has a fingerprint scanner on the power button like the Xperia Z5 if I recall so let's just take this out uh so this is the handset itself and this is not a physical button this is actually a speaker it has a front firing speaker so studo speakers and uh this is the handset and it says next now and this is the uh USB C type cable but again you have to use your own USB charger for the same it's flat type and this is the PIN to put your sim card so let me keep these things to the side so this is the handset itself and again it's really different in terms of The Styling it's sort of looking retro I would say uh with the these colors and stuff St it's really unique and we also have four LED lights so when it's doing that cloud syncing these will glow and it just says next bit over here uh so minimalistic branding I have to say let me give you a physical overview first and then we'll boot up the device on the top we have the 3.5mm headphone jack secondary noise cancellation microphone uh this is the power onof PN which also embeds the fingerprint scanner and here you'll add your uh SIM card it does not support the micro SD cards on the bottom uh we have the main microphone and also we have this LED light uh if you connect the fast charger it's supports qualcom quick charging too uh this light actually glows and this is the USB C type port and these are the volume rockers so again in terms of styling it's really different I would say and it supports a 13 megap rear facing camera with dual tone LED flash we just have this Cloud logo and these four LED lights when it's doing the Cloud syncing these will uh glow and it has that front firing speakers and the front-facing camera is supposed to be a 5 megap uh shooter so let me just quickly just uh boot this device and in the meantime let me give you a Specs overview this uh next bit Robin is parted by the Snapdragon 808 chipset which is a six core chipset it comes with 3 GB of RAM 32 GB of internal storage 100 GB of cloud storage is also included it supports a 5.2 in 1080P screen it also has a fingerprint scanner the battery is a 2,680 mAh battery and it also has NFC support so this is the first boot of this device uh and uh it just gives us this uh logo and it's a little bit different uh it's I would say this is close to stock Android but they are using a different skin and uh again the cloud storage is supposed to work in the background so this is what you get so again as you can see not a lot of blow these are the Google gole apps that we have uh Play Store and stuff and these are the basic apps that we have and again as I told you it's a different skin uh and we don't even have an app tray but initial Impressions I have to say uh it's smooth running on the Snapdragon 808 and again regarding the cloud storage uh right now I don't have a lot of apps installed because we have just set up the device so if you have a lot of apps and uh you're running out of the internal storage that is 32 GB of internal storage uh the apps will uh move automatically to the cloud storage you don't have to do anything about it it autod detects which are the apps that you are not using the most frequently or the pictures and will Auto archive them to the cloud and the icon for example let's say uh this app has been uh what do you say archived will become gray so if you want to use it you just tap in and it downloads the app I don't I don't know how feasible that would be in India because we don't have unlimited mobile data and stuff like that so yes the cloud storage stuff is interesting but again uh if you are on the go and let's say your app is archived when you click it will use your mobile data so you have to be aware of that uh because we don't get unlimited data here in India with most uh mobile providers so this is what we have so this is very close to stock Android as you can see if you go to about the device good thing is that it's running on Android marshmallow that is 6.0.1 out of the box so that's what you get and again the buttons are virtual this is back home and this is for the Mone multitasking as you can see so let's just go back and look at the storage uh and it does have NFC and the storage tab is known as smart storage if you click on that as you can see the local storage that we currently have is 24.9 GB uh but if you want that uh what do you say cloud storage you have to sign up for the uh next bit Robin account you just can hit this and you can create your account so right now we are just using the default storage that is on the device and out of the 32 GB we have 24.6 GB of space left again uh do note that we don't have any micro SD card uh with this device so they expect that you use the cloud storage if you're running out of the internal storage so that's the big thing about this device um and again it looks a little bit uh retro The Styling is very different from other devices uh it's very rectangular in nature many of the new devices are coming with the rounded back curved stuff but this is totally flat so again some of you might like this retro design but you have to be aware of that let's also quickly look at the camera the camera is supposed to be a 13 megapix shooter and again they have skinned the camera interface so let's look at it so this is the camera interface looks very sparten as you can see we have the top to focus let's do that and uh the shutter lag is not that much as you can see I can just tap and take the picture and let's go to the settings so back at 13 megapix it's in 4x3 ratio and uh you can again go down to uh other uh screen resolutions as you can see and in terms of video it does support 4K video so that is nice to know uh so it's nice actually regarding the pricing uh uh they have priced it really well in India because in us uh this one is priced at $400 so that means it's above 202 5,000 rupees in US but in India they have priced it at 20,000 rupees so that's interesting let's look at some of the picks that we have just shot so here are some more sample shots that I took just now to give you an idea about the camera now these pictures were shot in semi-indoor conditions and I feel it does a decent job uh in very low lighting yeah it struggles but still better than the yex 3 in my opinion and before I end this video Let's also quickly look at this fingerprint scanner it's sort of recessed as you can see and if you just place your finger it does not unlock you have to actually press that button and uh it works actually really well as you can see the moment you press it unlocks so the fingerprint scanner uh seems to be actually really good on this uh device so that's nice thing so it looks like an interesting handset but one thing I'm worried about it is that it has just a 2,680 mAh battery so I'm not very sure how would be the battery life on this next bit Robin so what do you think about this next bit Robin and its unique cloud storage uh features will it work in India I love to know your thoughts about the same so that's it for now for this quick unboxing of this next bit Robin again if you have any
