Royole Flexpai was the first foldable
phone on the market, and it was supposed to get a successor at MWC2020. The
cancellation of the event meant that had to be postponed but we are only now
getting the new announcement date. Speaking to Chinese media, the company CEO Liu
Zihong has confirmed the new phone is coming on March 25.
It is said to have a Snapdragon 865
chipset with 5G modem. If it really manages to launch outside of China, it will
be the most powerful foldable phone on the market. Royole’s first Flexpai wasn’t
the prettiest phone out there, but it managed to beat the premium competition
to the title “first foldable smartphone in the world.” We'll see what its
successor's claim to fame is in a week.
