With the launch of FlexPai, Royole became the first company to release a foldable phone. However, the device was limited to China and thus it did not add much to the company’s popularity. The Chinese manufacturer is back again with the second-generation FlexPai. The glimpse of the device was first revealed back in March and now the company has released complete specs of the new foldable phone. Let’s learn more about the specs, features, expected price & availability of Royole FlexPai 2 in Nepal.

Royole FlexPai 2 Overview

Design and Display

As with all of the first-generation foldable phones, the original FlexPai also suffered durability issues. Royole has tried to improve it with the new 3S Hinge. The new hinge is made up of aircraft-grade aluminum titanium alloy and liquid metal. This helps the company adopt light and wear-resistant design. The hinge allows the user to unfold the device up to 180-degree without any gap. Royole FlexPai 2 Design

Royole has adopted the 3rd Generation Cicada Wing display with a bending radius of 1mm for FlexPai 2. For people questioning the durability of the device, Royole claims that each display has gone through 1.8 million bends. Royole claims that it is the brightest OLED panel in the smartphone industry right now. When unfolded, the display measures 7.8-inch at a 4:3 aspect ratio. When folded users can choose to use the 5.5-inch screen or the 5.4-inch secondary display.

Performance and Memory

Royole FlexPai 2 is a true flagship inside out. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. Back when the device was first unveiled in March, the newer Snapdragon 865+ did not exist. It is a 5G processor with support for both SA and NSA network. The device is available in two memory configurations. The base model features 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The premium model pairs 12GB of RAM with 512GB of internal storage. Royole has used LPDDR45 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage for faster operation. WaterOS 2.0 Multi tasking mode

The device ships with Android 10 but with Royole’s own custom skin on top. Water OS 2.0 is optimized to make the Royole FlexPai 2 more interactive. It allows the device to accommodate three different apps on the skin and run them at once. When folded, the short-cuts are positioned on the edge of the screen that lets the user open the app of their choice using a single touch.

Camera

Royole FlexPai 2 flaunts a quad-camera setup. The 64MP primary shooter uses a 1/1.72” sensor, 6P lens with an aperture of f/1.9. Accompanying it is a 16MP ultra-wide sensor with a 116-degree of Field of View. The device also sports an 8MP telephoto lens that offers up to 3X optical zoom. The fourth camera is a 32MP portrait lens. It is to be used to capture selfies. The four cameras are arranged vertically with the flash residing just below them. Royole FlexPai 2 Camera Setup

In addition to nine different 5G bands, the device supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB  3.1 Type-C for connectivity. Royole has also managed to fit in stereo speakers.
