Sketch comedy via Zoom.

Motorola

With everything going on, I’d kinda forgotten that Motorola revived the Razr name and slapped it on a $1,500 foldable smartphone. After Samsung followed up with a device that’s likely superior and costs less, it was easy to forget, but now Motorola is releasing a “blush-gold” colored variant.

Separately, Brad Sams reports that we could see 10X test builds next month, and that the Android-powered Duo device is still right on schedule.

The League of Legend maker’s new game is available in a limited beta, and even though most of us can’t play Valorant yet, it’s already breaking records on Twitch thanks to an inventive-laden streaming strategy. Its style falls somewhere between Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Overwatch and could make it the next big thing in esports, but it’s really just the start for Riot.
