Meet Nextbit's Smartphone "Robin"

Nextbit's Robin is a Android smartphone and is only just a kickstarter right now.  But the Nextbit company promise that this phone will help kill 2 birds with one stone.  What is this referring to you asked? Glad you ask that question.  See for years, we have been purchasing phones with just a set of storage or phones that have no microSD card slots. Also a phone that runs out of space for memory.  With Robin, this is to solve your worries and stress about not having enough memory or running out of memory.  Robin's solution is in the cloud. Now, before you all start to complaining how expensive a cloud service is and that you need to delete apps and all other sorts of stuff to have space for another item to be downloadeed and installed onto your phone, this phone will make running out of space history.  This phone will free up space by offloading apps and photos and anything else that is not needed.  So far this phone has received great praise and has already surpassed its funding goals.  It has been funded over $800,000 dollars to date! If you are a person that fears of not having enough space or memory on their phones, then this smartphone might be your future purchase.  So would you purchase a phone that powered by and depends on the cloud for storage management or would you rather have all storage that is built into the phone or a micro SD card?

Why OnePlus 2 Might Fail As the Flagship Killer!

For the OnePlus 2, the HYPE was real! We now have seen hands-on about this device and what it can do and what it brings to the table. But, we also seen what it can not do and what deal breakers it lost and might cause it not to deliver on its promise as the Flagship Killer.  Although, some of its specs are up to par with the Galaxy S6, M9, G4, and the iPhone 6 Plus, it was missing out on some key features.  Last years's OnePlus One came with NFC.  This year's OnePlus 2 doesn't include it as of right now.  This is a major "Oh-no ".  NFC you will need it for one major function "Android Pay".  Android Pay will be Google's revamp of Google Wallet.  Which will allow you to make purchases with your Android smartphones at grocery stores, gas stations, department stores and so on.. Hopefully OnePlus makes a fix. If not, you are not going to want to purchase the phone.  Also another issue here is that this device won't come with a SD card slot. As we have recently seen Samsung make this move with the Galasy S6 and S6 Edge and possibly the Galaxy Note 5, OnePlus has also made sacrifice by not accepting SD card slots into their phones.  Your only choices this year with the OnePlus 2 are a 16GB internal and 64GB internal storage version of the phone.  These are you only choices. For goodness sake, why are companies still making 16GB internal storages on high-end smartphones? Even reports out are even saying that Apple's iPhone 6s is suppose to still bring a 16GB of internal memory to its flagships.  Once again, Why! But, these are besides the points. Also, OnePlus 2 is equipped with the SnapDragon 810, which is also in the HTC One M9.  This chip has been the talk of the year for its overheating madness.  No word yet on if this is going on in the OnePlus 2 right now. But, will keep a close eye on this as more updates and news continue to unfold. day-by-day.  OnePlus 2 also doesnt come with a removable battery as well.  To some, this can be a big deal.  But, once again I must reference to Samsung as this is becoming a infamous trend and it spreading like a wild-fire! With the 3,000 mah battery in the OnePlus 2 and a Snapdragon 810 chip, better pray battery life isn't a pain as this phone isn't equipped with a quick charger! What in the world OnePlus? What are you doing to your consumers!   One more thing! The OnePlus 2 doesn't have is the Wireless Charging! No Wireless Charging at all is discovered here guys. You have to charge your device up using the USB Type C. Which seems pretty cool and nice and gamechanger.  But, there is another issue here.  It will take about up to 4 hours to charge your device up to 100%! Now, who wants to wait that long for their device to charge up?  Are you all not seeing the big picture here?  This should turn you all away from this device! Its really a NO BRAINER! The only thing that look attractive at this point is the price for the 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory on phone is its price tag @ $389.99! We will talk about that in another article. But, remember what all you are missing and losing out of.  This, my followers, and viewers, and readers is why the OnePlus 2 fails as being a "Flagship Killer".

Android 5.1 Update Is Now

Ok guys, so there has been a lot of dirt thrown at Google about Lollipop 5.0. Why haven't a lot of high end devices been receiving the update at normal rate or maybe why 5.0 had so many issues and problems.  A lot of carriers have been slow to release just the Android 5.0 to their phones such as the Galaxy S5s, S4s, Note 4s, M8s, and M7s.  But not to worry as those devices are finally getting to see the Lollipop update (after about 4 months being available).  But, not to worry as Android 5.1 has been released in the wild. Now for those that do not know about how the Android updates work, Google usually only let their Nexus line of devices receive the Android updates because its pure stock android and Nexus is by Google.  The devices that will receive Android 5.1 update first will be the Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 devices.  As recent reports stated that Verizon's Nexus 6 will launch with Android 5.1 on device  already.  The Verizon's Nexus 6 will be available to purchase next week.  There are also other carriers right now including Google Store already have the Nexus 6 available if you don't want to wait a few more days.  So, now that is out of the way, let us take a look at what we will be getting from the latest Android Lollipop update.

Dual Sim

Dual Sim capabilities will be available for the Android 5.1. Which means if you or more than one other person will be using the same phone, you can keep your information protected, plus you'll be able to use more than one carrier sim card such as T-Mobile and At&t.  This will also come in handy for traveling as well in parts that do not have a particular service or good signal for one or the other.

Device Protection

The Device Protection, when a lost or stolen device remains lock until you sign in to your Google account.  This is a new feature that is available on most android devices shipped with 5.1 in addition to the Nexus 6 and 9.

HD Voice

HD voice is already available on the T-Mobile phones, but this is coming to other carriers as well  such as Verizon Wireless. HD voice improves on voice improvements and enhancements. But who talks on phones today anyway?

Quick Settings!

Yes! What we all been waiting for in the Lollipop updates,  There are quite a few improvements in the quick settings menu.  Now, instead of having to go all the way through the settings app to pair your bluetooth and wifi, you can now control it all from the status bar drop down menu.

As you can see from the list, there is a lot to be rooting for or even looking forward to as your android devices get hyped for the Android 5.1 update.  But one thing that seems to puzzle me about the whole Lollipop upgrade and updates, where is the SILENT MODE! For goodness sake, Google, please bring back the Silent Mode in 5.1.1 at least, maybe. 

Based on what you see here and everywhere else, what are the android fans mostly excited for?  Do you have a Nexus device? Are these enhancements worth the wait?  Please drop all of your comments below.
