Dominic Preston Jan 23 D Dominic Preston Jan 20 Link Air in name only. Redmagic’s new 11 Air just launched in China. Sounds thin and light, right? Well, sort of — at 8mm thick and 207g it’s smaller than Redmagic’s liquid-cooled 11 Pro , but a far cry from the 5.6mm, 165g iPhone Air . Still, not bad for a phone with a 7,000mAh battery and built-in fan. The 11 Air is svelte for a gaming phone, but still pretty big — and it’s no smaller than the previous 10 Air.

Dominic Preston Jan 8 T External Link Thomas Ricker Jan 7 Link Realme moves under Oppo. Realme is once again an Oppo subbrand in a bid to save money. Both were once brands under the Chinese consumer hardware behemoth BBK Electronics, which was also responsible for brands like Vivo, OnePlus, and a few more. But BBK consciously uncoupled a few years ago to avoid regulator scrutiny, creating a myriad of legal entities that occasionally shared supply chains, R&D efforts, and even marketing teams.

Soccer’s governing body isn’t at its most popular right now, from price gouging complaints to allegedly breaking its own rules giving a “peace prize” to Donald Trump. But hey, it’s a World Cup year, so you can’t blame it for trying its luck with this branded version of last year’s regular Motorola Razr .

The Verge ’s Dominic Preston got a look at a static prototype of the phone this week, but unlike Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots , the phone’s fancy camera didn’t move. In case you missed the announcement for the Robot Phone and its gimbal camera (which is apparently intelligent), check out this video for a recap of what we know so far. D Dominic Preston Jan 5 Link The Robot Phone is real(ish). I only got to see (and not touch) a prototype, and the fold-out gimbal camera wasn’t operational. So it’s strictly TBC what the Robot Phone will actually do, but Honor did tell me this is no concept: after the full launch at MWC next month it will go on sale — but only in China.
