Nextbit Delivering Smaller System Update to Robin

Jun 9, 2016, 9:36 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Nextbit today said it is sending a minor system update to its Robin smartphone. This upgrade makes changes to the speaker volume, giving the minimum setting a softer sound and also providing a more linear progression as users increase the volume from quiet to loud. Nextbit made a small tweak to the camera, improving stability when sharing pictures to the Line application. The update also throws in a couple of custom ringtones and installs the June 1 Android security patch from Google. Robin owners can download and install the update over the air for free. At the same time, Nexbit recently said that Amazon is running a sale on the Robin, which costs $299 for a limited time.
