Robot-vac maker Dreame jumps into phones with a modular ‘Nex’ and 29 flavors of luxury nonsense
Dreame, best known for its high-end robotic vacuums, has made a surprising pivot into the smartphone market with the 'Nex' series. The flagship features a modular design with snap-on components including a 1-inch sensor camera block, action cam, fan, satellite comms, and even a smart agent. For those with deeper pockets, the 'Aurora Lux' variant offers 29 different luxury finishes, including leather and mechanical watch-inspired rear panels. It's a bold, if eccentric, entry into a crowded field.
