Nextbit today said it plans to fully reveal its first smartphone on Sept. 1.
The company has not revealed any details about the handset just yet, other than to say it will make use of Google’s Android platform and will hook into Nextbit’s cloud services.
“The idea is to take Android a step further, and extend beyond the hard specs of the phone to offer features that consumers have been clamoring for over the past few years,” said the company.
Nextbit is based in San Francisco and run by former Googler Tom Moss. HTC’s former head of design, Scott Croyle, is also aboard. The company is backed by Google Ventures and other investment firms. The Nextbit phone will be available for order on the Sept. 1 launch date.
