• Royole FlexPai 2: Foldable Phone Release Date, Price, What's New and Features

The Royole FlexPai was the first foldable phone most people could afford, and now its successor has been released: check out the Royole FlexPai 2. The original Royole FlexPai stood out from the mass of standard ``bar phones''. chocolate,'' but the FlexPai 2 doesn't have that distinction. In a world of Huawei Mate Xses, Motorola Razrs, and Samsung Galaxy Folds, novelty alone won't be enough to propel the FlexPai 2 to success. It's a good thing, then, that the Royole FlexPai 2 looks pretty special, from its processor to its camera suite. The main thing we don't know at the moment is international pricing, but since we haven't seen an affordable foldable phone yet, we'd expect it to be expensive. We're still waiting for the global launch details, but the Royole FlexPai 2 has been officially launched in China, so we know its design and most of its specs, and here's everything you need to know about the new one. foldable phone.

Royole FlexPai 2 display and design

The Royole FlexPai 2 has a redesigned version of the 'cicada' hinge used on the original model, but for all intents and purposes the phone has the same design as its predecessor. It folds in half vertically, with the screen on the outside in this state. The hinge is said to be able to unfold from 0 to 180 degrees, with no gap between the screens when the device is closed, and the screens perfectly aligned when open. It has reportedly been tested to survive 1.800.000 times; That seems a bit of a stretch, because to reach that number you'll have to fold your phone almost 500 times a day for 10 years, but at least it sounds reassuring. A key point in the marketing around the phone is Royole's claim that when the phone is open, you can't feel the crease in the middle of the screen. We've heard this from other companies before, but have never found it to be the case, so we'll be interested to see if Royole actually succeeded in pulling it off.

Royole FlexPai 2 (Image credit: Royale) When unfolded, the phone has a 7.8-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and 1920 x 1440 resolution. When closed, the front screen measures 5.5 inches High. in diameter with an aspect ratio of 1440 x 900, and the rear screen is slightly smaller at 5,4 inches and 1440 x 810. The reason the rear screen is slightly smaller than the front is because it also it houses the set of chambers, which we will see shortly. It's in a long vertical panel next to the screen, and it points towards you when the device is open, so when the device is open, you'll only be able to take selfies and you'll have to close it to take. other cliches. .

Royole FlexPai 2 Camera

The Royole FlexPai 2 has four cameras, as well as an intriguing-sounding 'soft light' flash module, which apparently provides a weaker, less intense light that's better for selfies. The four cameras are 64MP f/1.89 main, 32MP f/2.0 portrait, 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide, and 8MP f/2.4 telephoto; it's unclear why the portrait and main cameras are different, given that a 64MP snapper would probably take amazing selfies. We don't know anything about the specifics of the camera or video specs yet, but given the chipset - see below - 8K video recording may be an option.

Royole FlexPai 2 Specifications

Royole FlexPai 2 (Image credit: Royale) The Royole FlexPai comes with a Snapdragon 865 chipset, which should give you some high-end processing power, and it's 5G-capable too. There are two memory and storage options: 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. We imagine that the Chinese price shown above is for the first option, although we are not 100% sure. The phone runs Android 10, with Royole's WaterOS on top, and will likely get the Android 11 update at some point. We found the original FlexPai's operating system a bit tedious to use, but this phone ran on an older version of Android, and newer versions included better optimizations for foldable phones. When it comes to battery life, the phone packs a 4450 mAh battery, but given the device's large screen area, we imagine the phone may struggle to last a day. . There's 18W charging which isn't really fast, but should be fine for powering up the phone overnight.
