Remember Nextbit? The startup smartphone manufacturer that released the quirky Nextbit Robin a year ago? The company was just aquired by Razer, the PC gaming company.
In a forum posting, Nextbit said it would “operate as an independent division inside Razer” and would do “exactly what we’ve been doing all along, only bigger and better.” Razer’s co-founder and CEO, Min-Liang Tan, gave an interview to Techcrunch and indicated the Nextbit brand would be sticking around. Razer might not have a choice since Motorola’s “Razr” trademarks probably present a barrier to “Razer” branded smartphones.
