Razer aquires Nextbit !! What about the phones??

Nextbit has announced that it has been acquired by Razer. So, it is not an independant startup company now.



And because of this deal, it will stop the sale of its phone- The Nextbit Robin, along with it's accessories.
It will, however, commit to honouring warranties for the next six months. It will also be releasing android security updates until February 2018.

Razer will continue to operate as an independent division inside of Razer to work on the mobile hardware and software division.


Razer, the company, is renowned for making one of the best devices when it comes to gaming laptops and accessories. Their computers are both powerful and beautiful. (The beauty differs from one person to another)

From Nextbit's point of view, being acquired by a larger company seemed like an inevitable next step. The Robin was a great phone, particularly as it got on in age and was regularly available for less than $200, but Nextbit never felt like it could carry on selling several generations phones primarily built around a single feature of seamless cloud backup.










 

Now, lets all hope that Nextbit does not stop designing awesome phones, with features that are somewhat different that the other ones in the market now.
