Nextbit Acquired by Razer – Robin Sales Immediately Ceased
Nextbit was acquired by Razer today, ending the company’s independent status as well as ending the sale of their only phone, the Nextbit Robin. In an announcement today, Nextbit will become an operating unit within Razer going forward.
While we have stopped selling Robin and all accessories through our official channels, we are still dedicated to supporting all of you. We will continue to fulfill warranties for 6 more months. And as promised, we will continue to provide software updates and security patches through February 2018.
The news isn’t entirely a surprise but still interesting given that the Robin has been a solid Android option that has nice specs at an affordable price. What this means for Nextbit’s next phone, if there is one, remains unclear.
