We are going to review the main details of this Royole FlexPai 2, an ambitious high-end folding mobile that arrives with a smaller screen fold, a completely renewed hardware and a quite striking design.

The new high-end folding
The FlexPai 2 is a concept that moves between mobile and tablet. When folded leaves two panels outside, one on each side. Royole promises that the panel has been tested with more than 200,000 folds, ensuring that resistance will meet.
When open, the panel is 7.8 inches. Its design reminds something of Huawei Mate XS, although it is not exactly the same. Despite being such a big screen, resolution is quite good, 1,920 x 1,440 px. The technology of this panel is OLED and important improvements are promised over last year’s model.
If we talk about the interiors of the FlexPai 2, we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, a base configuration of 256 + 8 GB and a 4,450mAh battery with 18W fast charge. The maximum configuration is 512 + 12 GB and the device has extras like the stereo speaker. It has Android 10 quite customized with Water OS, the manufacturer’s layer.
Regarding the photographic section, the Royole FlexPai 2 has four cameras. The first one is a 64 megapixel main sensor. This is accompanied by a 16 megapixel ultra wide angle, an 8 megapixel (3X) telephoto and a portrait sensor of no less than 32 megapixels. Curious detail is that under the cameras there is a small pad that allows you to make some gestures for system functions.
