RELX is introducing two new colorways to their lineup — Infinity Arctic Mist and Essential Steel Blue.

The devices use the same vaping technology. These are the Active-Steam Pro and Air Boost design to provide consistent vapor volume and quality. This is achieved by actively balancing and controlling both atomizing power and temperature. At the same time, its providing sufficient pressure to enable the vapor to travel upwards the maze leak-resistant design from the atomizer.

Both RELX Infinity Arctic Mist and RELX Essential Steel Blue have a leak-resistant maze, ergonomic mouthpiece design, and symmetrical pods.

RELX Infinity is perfect for those who like great design. With dual charging options available, the unit can be charged using its built-in Pogo pin or USB-C charging port. The device also has a SmartPace Vibrate Alert to prevent nicotine over-consumption by vibrating when the user takes over 15 puffs within 15 minutes.

#NoSmoke campaign

RELX launched the Proudly #NoSmoke campaign in October to highlight the journey to being cigarette-free. With this campaign, RELX helps tell the stories of ex-smokers who’ve since made the #SwitchtoSmooth.

According to pre-med student Jessa Zapanta, RELX helped her kick the unhealthy habit, “Recently, I had a chat with my friend and have been wanting to stop smoking. I decided to #SwitchToSmooth after trying RELX for the first time and proudly #NoSmoke for 1 year,” she said.

Jacky Tenorio is a Digital Marketing Manager who was looking to stop cigarette for health reasons. “I’ve been a heavy smoker for 7 years and wanted to think about my personal well-being due to my age. My friends and family also complain about the smell and I wish to not smoke indoors – so I decided to make the #SwitchToSmooth. Absolutely no regrets!”

More often than not, the decision to quit is to protect the ones you love. Marketing Associate and father Tey Ramirez shares, “I started smoking at a very young age out of curiosity – it became my greatest stress reliever. I consumed 25 – 30 sticks on an average day. I’ve wanted to stop smoking for so long since I have kids and don’t want them to grow up with this habit. Thankfully, my cousin introduced me to RELX and it works perfectly for me! No urges!”

Ghost of Yotei gets a story expansion in October

The Complete Edition comes with the expansion and a roguelike mode.

Published

Ghost of Yotei is a classic RPG experience set in the same universe as its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. In my opinion, Atsu’s journey of revenge feels a lot more fun than Jin’s battle to save his homeland. If you’re in the same boat, Ghost of Yotei is coming back on October 1 with brand-new content.

Without delving too much into spoiler territory, Ghost of Yotei has a conclusive ending. Rather than shoehorning a forced epilogue, Echoes of Sekigahara, the title of the upcoming story expansion, explores Atsu’s past.

As with Tsushima’s expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara features a new map with new enemies, weapons, and collectibles. It will be set in two different time periods.

Besides the story expansion, the upcoming update also has a new mode called Most Wanted, which Sucker Punch Production describes as their “spin on a roguelike.” The mode explores Atsu’s experience as a headhunter, feeding her with bounties and earnable perks.

The two new content expansions will come with in the upcoming Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. The new edition, coming on October 1, will also come with the co-op Legends mode. It also has a few perks and customization options. The edition will sell for US$ 70.

If you already have the base edition, you can grab an upgrade for only US$ 15. If you don’t want to pay for the upgrade, the game is still getting a few minor tweaks.

HONOR isn’t taking the Robot Phone global — yet

The hardware is ready. The AI isn’t.

The HONOR Robot Phone may have officially launched, but don’t expect this version to immediately make its way to global markets.

HONOR told media in Shenzhen that it currently has no plans to bring the current Robot Phone outside China. The main hurdle isn’t the hardware. It’s the phone’s AI experience, which is currently optimized for the Chinese market.

HONOR believes a future generation of the Robot Phone would be better positioned for a true global rollout once its AI experience is ready for markets outside China.

That doesn’t mean HONOR is abandoning the idea. Quite the opposite.

More than a phone with a moving camera

The Robot Phone is HONOR’s attempt to introduce a new idea to the smartphone market. It combines a smartphone with a 4DoF mechanical gimbal, allowing its camera to physically move.

Its AI features take that concept further. YOYO Robot Mode can use voice commands, gestures, and AI tracking to control the camera. It can also automatically pan and tilt to keep a person in frame during vlogs, livestreams, and video calls.

The phone also brings selected elements of ARRI Image Science and professional cinema workflows to its camera system. Its 200MP gimbal main camera supports 10-bit ARRI LogC3 recording, while ARRI Wide Gamut 3 and ARRI Looks give creators more control over their footage.

But HONOR isn’t treating the Robot Phone primarily as a volume-driving product.

The company says its bigger goal is to introduce a new concept to the smartphone market and see what kind of effect it can have.

That makes the Robot Phone an interesting experiment for HONOR. The hardware is already here. The company now wants to learn what happens when a smartphone can physically move, respond to its surroundings, and use AI to help operate itself.

For now, though, China is where that experiment begins.
