Nextbit is now all set for the India launch of the Nextbit Robin, arguably one of the first 'cloud -first' smartphones in the world.

While the handset is already up for grabs outside India, Nextbit couldn't launch the smartphone in India until now due to impending BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) approval from the government.

Today it has announced that it has received the regulatory approval from the government and will start shipping the device to Kickstarter backers starting from next week. And for the general buyers, the device will officially launch in India later this month, but the date and availability are yet to be known. Let’s check the specifications once again.

The Nextbit Robin sports a 5.2-inches Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels)IPS display that comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 Soc clocked at 1.8 GHz 64-bit Hexa-Core processor along with Adreno 418 GPU. It packs 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory with 100GB of cloud storage. The Nextbit Robin runs on the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS out of the box.

The device features a 13-megapixel rear camera with flash apart from a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It runs on a 2680mAh battery, and sports a USB Type-C charging port. The 4G-enabled smartphone features an unlocked bootloader, allowing users to easily use their custom Android ROMs if they so desire.

The smartphone is available in two colour variants: Mint and Midnight.
