Audi has [unveiled a concept electric car]( that can transform from one type of vehicle to another. Why does it matter? The Audi Activesphere concept is a four-door crossover coupé at its heart but has a versatile body that can open the rear to reveal a cargo bed and become a pickup at the touch of a button. What's my take? It feels like Audi has been a little quiet of late, but when this concept is what materialises, it feels worth the wait. The Activesphere's most interesting feature is around the back, with the rear window sliding forward rather than lifting up, meaning it can change from a coupe design to more like a pickup truck. I'm immediately concerned about how you'd keep it water tight, but the stance of this car, looking like a coupé SUV is something that I can see Audi doing. As for ditching the interior to replace it with an AR view through glasses instead, seems like a long way off. It's worth watching the video, [just for a look](.  Realme teases a 'really refreshing' Coca-Cola phone REALME What's happened? Realme has [teased the unannounced Coca-Cola phone](, meaning this thing is really real and it can't come soon enough! Why does it matter? While Realme has stopped just short of confirming that it is announcing the Coca-Cola-branded phone, it has shared a new promo webpage for the product. "Realme is set to get really refreshing," it says, with much Coke-themed imagery leaving little to the imagination. What's my take? It's the Realme Thing!  Sony DualSense Edge review: Is the PS5 pro controller worth the price tag? POCKET-LINT What's happened? When Sony launched the PlayStation 5 it also reinvented the humble controller, of sorts. The DualSense was (and still is) somewhat a revelation. There's just one problem though - if you're a power player, you'll have realised by now that a conventional DualSense isn't the most sturdy of accessories. We've actually rinsed two of them ourselves, with another two on their way out. It's an expensive hobby if you have to replace them all the time, that's for sure. That's where the DualSense Edge comes in... Our quick verdict Although pricey, Sony's first pro controller for the PlayStation 5 brings a lot to the party. It has elements that can be completely replaced to improve its longevity, and customisable profiles that can be swapped between during gameplay. The build quality is decent too, although wireless battery life is shorter than the standard DualSense, so that does need to be taken into account.
