Nextbit, a developer of mobile phone hardware, has been acquired by Razer, a developer of PC and console peripherals.“Nextbit is one of the most exciting companies in the mobile space,” says Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan. “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.”
According to Razer, Nextbit will operate as a standalone business unit under its own management and apart from the ongoing business of its parent company. Furthermore, Nextbit will continue with product support and software updates for its Robin smartphone.

What does this mean moving forward? We're not really sure. We know only that all of the Nextbit staff was also brought over as part of this acquisition. They will, presumably, help Razer enter into creating a new line of phone hardware moving forward.
Nextbit is perhaps best known for their most recent release, the Nextbit Robin.
