Nextbit Robin which was unveiled last year with a price tag of $399 has received a price cut of $100 globally. It will now cost you $299, irrespective of your location.
The Nextbit Robin was launched in India last month with a price tag of ₹19,999 (around $296). It was also available for $299 in the US on Amazon. However, it was sold for $399 everywhere else, and, Nextbit felt that it was unfair to others to pay more than the customers in the US and India. Hence, Nextbit decided to reduce the price of Robin to $299 globally.
“We didn’t think it was fair that only fans in India and the US got to purchase Robin at a great price. So we’re lowering the price of Robin on Nextbit.com to $299 for everyone. As long as we ship there, you’ll get Robin at a great price. And to make the offer even sweeter, we made standard shipping free too.” wrote Nextbit on its community page.
