So what does “cloud first” mean?
In short, all of you Photos, Apps , Music , Videos etc. Will be backed up to the cloud. When an App is not used for a long time, the Robin will automatically backup the app and it’s data to the cloud,and your launcher will show the icon grayed out. If you want to use that app after its been moved to the cloud, you have to just tap the icon and the Robin will retrieve the app from the cloud. All data is backed up automatically in the background when the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
The Robin has 4G LTE (Cat 4) 3G (HSPA+) Wi-Fi at 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (dual band), NFC, GPS and Bluetooth 4.0
All this is powered by a 2,680 mah battery which supports quick charge.
