Nextbit earlier this week launched a Kickstarter campaign for Robin, a cloud-connected Android smartphone. Robin boasts a streamlined interface that does away with bloatware and automatically offloads data to the cloud. The company expects to ship Robin running Marshmallow, the next version of Android — unless the OS’ launch is delayed. In that case, Nextbit will issue an over-the-air update when Marshmallow rolls out. The phone will learn which apps owners use and the space they need, and automatically offload unused stuff to the cloud.
