Razer acquires smartphone startup Nextbit, will keep it around as an ‘independent division’

Razer, a startup that makes computers, mice, and keyboards, has acquired Nextbit, which built a smartphone that stood out thanks to its green case and its emphasis on cloud storage. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

The Nextbit Robin phone came out last year, but it’s unclear how well it sold. Now it won’t be sold anymore, although Nextbit will provide software updates and security patches between now and February 2018, according to a blog post from Nextbit cofounder and chief executive Tom Moss.
