    I charge my phone on a racing car. Do you?

    The Infinix Note 60 Ultra, launching today in Malaysia, was codesigned with Italian auto designer Pininfarina. I’m not sure I see much of its influence in the phone’s dot matrix rear display or odd inspirational lockscreen quotes, but the sports car-shaped SIM tool and wireless charger do give off a very specific energy.

    The Note 60 Ultra’s race car wireless charger is… unique.

    Xiaomi’s EV hypercar sure is shiny.

    You may never be able to drive the Vision GT concept — except when it arrives in Gran Turismo 7 — and there’s nothing to prove the model at Xiaomi’s MWC booth is even a functioning EV. But hey, you can’t say it doesn’t look the part.

    Oppo is going Ultra in Europe too.

    Not to be outdone by yesterday’s news that the Vivo X300 Ultra will launch in Europe, Oppo has confirmed its Find X9 Ultra will also get the series’ first release outside China. And… that’s all we know, except that it’s coming “later this year.” Will it beat the Find X9 Pro’s excellent 7,500mAh battery?

    Four shades of Nothing.

    We already knew what the Nothing Phone 4A would look like, including its pretty perfect pink option and new Glyph Bar lighting, but now we’ve seen it in a sharp blue and the inevitable black. We’ll see more, including its Pro sibling, at Nothing’s full launch on Thursday.
