The Motorola razr 70 Ultra is praised as one of the best small flip smartphones on the market, but the reviewer criticises it for insufficient RAM at a time when app demands are rapidly increasing — a trend dubbed the "RAMocalypse."

The technical requirements of the UK's next-generation GCAP combat aircraft mean the entire British aerial refuelling tanker fleet may be rendered incompatible with the new fighter.
