the Robin is designed beautifully

the phone is often face up in my hand or on my desk
it s never supposed to run out of storage space
it s not difficult to disable these tools
It s not as fast as a flagship
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
hard-cornered device can get a bit uncomfortable to hold during lengthy
slowed a bit when the going got rough and resource-heavy
There is no app drawer as with the standard Android experience
white plastic back will pick up newsprint and other stains
apps are archived they grey out on the home screen
cutesy design remains to be seen
the system failed to make space for a 4K video while
the white balance is sometimes inaccurate

score and contents below refer to an older Camera test protocol
s device isn t slippery at all
The camera struggles particularly with variable light conditions
most smartphones are boring
it will never run out of storage
It s not as full featured as other manual modes
The battery life is just a tiny smidgen above average
proprietary features are mostly relegated to the custom Home Screen
Nextbit adds on gets in the way of Android
baffling floating action button on the home screen
Photos also have this weird dreamy look to them
the phone starts deleting apps and photos you have not been using
his phone or tablet is not in his hand
weak and cheap
Shortcomings for the display on a phone can be overlooked by
Battery life on the Robin is a little bit of a disappointment
downgrades quality like Google Photos does to allow unlimited storage
Nextbit Robin has a dead boxy shape
data cleansing is a bit like returning home
Square edges always make a phone feel relatively thick
data is removed from the internal storage and evaporated into the cloud
there s no app drawer
Lack of Optical Image Stabilisation hurts
s a noticeable lag between when you hit the shutter button
it s a comparatively tiny player in a big pond
dual-LED flash and a 5MP front camera
four LEDs on the back light up
you never run out of storage
unfortunate combo of half-baked software and a slightly sad 2680mAh battery
only on a superficial level
the app install data is removed from the phone
don't get a power adapter or a headset
Colours are often exaggerated which makes scenes look artificial at times
icons appear greyed out on your home screen
no means a substitute for expandable local storage
the gallery app lacks sharing options for videos
Shadows have been lifted much more noticeably
softness is noticeable around the edges
slow outdated AP and mediocre camera
you cannot set shutter speed manually
Archived apps are grayed out on the home screen
cloud storage solution has some execution turbulence
not video files)
the Robin does fail to deliver in the battery department
it does fail to have an effect on blown out areas of the image
lack of storage is becoming an issue
camera app is rather slow with a noticeable lag
optical image stabilisation

Nextbit Robin Mobile review: Nice results from integrated cloud device

With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 81, the Nextbit Robin records well-exposed images in many situations. Featuring a 13Mp rear camera, good detail is preserved in both outdoor and low-light conditions, with indoor shots displaying a fine but visible grain noise. Combine that with well-exposed flash pictures and fast autofocus, the Nextbit Robin is a good choice for smartphone photographers seeking quality indoor shots.
