Nextbit Robin is discounted to just $299 at Amazon
It seems this should be the normal price if they want to get there foot in the door. I know a few people who are interested but would like a lower price to try them out since there such a new company.
Considering the deals to be had on a Nexus 5x, I'd love to see it hit around $200-225 and then I'd consider it. Still holding on to my Nexus 5. With all the info on 808 processor and lag, I'm afraid to pull the trigger on anything right now.
I'm still rocking my Nexus 5.. No lag at all. Go into developer settings and make all transition speeds .5.. Still one of the fastest phones out there.

He's talking about the Snapdragon 808
Misread - my bad

Yeah, pretty much every device I can think of that had an 808 (with the possible exception of the Moto X Pure?) had serious lag issues. I'm glad to see that new devices, even budget ones, seem to be staying away from that one at this point.
When they put out their first big update to Marshmallow 6.1, it drastically improved the phone. I haven't had any issues with lag at all.

I haven't experienced any lag on my Robin and would definitely give it the edge over my 5X. My only complaint with the Robin is since the last update the lowest volume setting for media is way too loud. The Nextbit team is aware of it and promises a fix, but I'm beginning to wonder when. In the meantime there is a work around using a DSP app, but it doesn't work 100% of the time and I have been surprised by loud volume on more than one occasion.

Wasn't there an update released in this week that fixed this issue?
Love the color and design
How about a new device with 820 soc?
I might have to jump on this. This phone has had my eye for a while now.

Nexus 5x 32GB (US variant) on sale on eBay for $275. New, 1 yr warranty from LG.. I tipped AC, but they don't check their inbox apparently.

project fi has this for $249 plus the cost of 1 month $20-340.
would you rather buy directly from Google or some seller on eBay? Plus using Fi you can test out Sprint and T Mobile networks and if you like them, you can switch to ATT, Cricket or other MVNO
Me personally, I'd rather just stick with AT&T then bother with Fi. As long as it's new and has LG warranty I'm fine with eBay. It's not some person either, it's a company that sells on eBay.
Plus, I run the family plan I'm on. Can't beat AT&T's deal with all unlocked devices with my company discount.

Who has the longer lasting battery, robin or 5x ?????

In my experience, the 5x was slightly better but just slightly.
Great phone. Love it!
