A less known technology firm from China, Royale has hit the bigger South Korean firm, Samsung by launching a foldable phone. It seems to be the 1st foldable phone of its kind and it works. Samsung has planned to launch Galaxy X, the foldable phone very soon, but before that Royale Corporation has released the Flexpai phone in the press meet.
Journalists, Mashable and Verge got their hands on the phone and they revealed that the technology works. The size of phone is half of 7.8” plastic screen in a single twist of 180 degree. Mashable’s Karissa Bell says that the phone isn’t actually perfect but it fulfills the promise of the 1st foldable smart phone. The phone is difficult to handle and crunching sound is heard while trying to fold the phone. Royale replied to her, that this arises because of sticky materials.
