There haven't been many smartphone launches in the last few weeks that really stood out. Qualcomm recently announced a new phone called the "Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders" (yup, that’s the actual name), and we also saw Motorola release two derivative phones in the Motorola Defy 2021 and Moto G Stylus 5G. The one handheld device that really grabbed our attention recently is Valve's Steam Deck, a portable, Switch-like gaming PC.

Smartphone gaming is growing in popularity, particularly as high-end gaming PCs become more unattainable thanks to the ongoing global chip shortage, though it's likely to affect smartphones too. Even still, demand for gaming smartphones has risen and given way to lots of different attempts by companies that have never even tried before. Red Magic has been in the game for a while though, and the Red Magic 6R is a toned-down version of the company's flagship Redmagic 6 that launched earlier this year.
