Razer is known for its game changing approach in its strategy, (literally) the gaming hardware specialist makes great products that has high approval rating among its harshest critics, the gamers. The Singapore tech company based in US, is established in PC, keyboards and even smart wear mostly in the gaming sector, but now is looking at wider horizon this has been confounded with the recent acquisition of NextBit.

Expanding into the mobile phone market, Razer will be using NextBit and the Robin Android smartphone that combines cloud storage and internal memory as its repertoire. This gives users technically unlimited space and the NextBit OS helps users updating the apps and uploading pictures without the pain of running out of storage space. Here’s what Razer CEO had to say about the purchase.

“Nextbit is one of the most exciting companies in the mobile space, Razer has a track record of disrupting industries where our technology and ability to design and innovate have allowed us to dominate categories with longstanding incumbents, such as the peripherals and laptop categories. With the talent that Nextbit brings to Razer, we look forward to unleashing more disruption and growing our business in new areas.”

Could this acquisition be a prelude to a full-on gaming smartphone, that elusive device that’s on every manufacturers mind but just cant find the last piece to complete the puzzle? Remember N-Gage from Nokia, an unrealised potential that was ahead of its time.
