FlexPai Developer Model - Preorder

$1,318.00

Model

The world’s first commercial foldable smartphone, a combination of mobile phone and tablet, with Royole’s 2nd generation, ultrathin, fully flexible display. Disrupting the concept of a traditional smartphone, the unit can be used either folded or unfolded, giving it the portability of a smartphone plus the screen size of a high-definition tablet. FlexPai can be folded from 0 to 180 degrees. Say goodbye to broken screens. FlexPai will completely change your perception of a traditional mobile phone and the need to own multiple mobile devices. Unfolded, FlexPai provides a 7.8” large, tablet sized, full color display screen that easily fits into your pocket. Never sacrifice a large screen to enjoy mobility again, with FlexPai you have the best of both.

• 7.8" tablet sized, full color flexible display with 4:3 aspect ratio and 1920 x 1440 resolution
• Capable of folding up to 180 degrees
• When folded, three screens (primary, secondary and edge) are available with the following aspect ratios and resolutions (primary = 16:9/810x1440, secondary = 18:9/720x1440, edge = 21:6/390x1440)
• Work or play without interruption; FlexPai’s edge screen displays notifications for incoming calls, emails, and messages
• Unique Water OS is intuitive and provides unparalleled viewing flexibility
• Includes two quality cameras with 20 and 16 megapixels that can be bent to capture objects at unique angles
• When folded, incoming calls or photos can be conveniently taken from either side

Due to the overwhelming response since the launch of FlexPai, for orders placed after January 1, 2019, please anticipate 60~90 days to ship.

Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone has big starting price

Samsung today announced the nation's most expensive, and possibly most innovative smartphone: the $1,980 (and up) Galaxy Fold, a 4.6-inch smartphone that expands into a 7.3-inch tablet.

"With the Galaxy Fold we are creating a new dimension for your phone and your life," Justin Denison, Samsung's SVP of product marketing, said at the company's Unpacked event in San Francisco.

Folded, the Galaxy Fold fits easily in one hand. It unlocks with a fingerprint sensor on the side of the phone. Samsung showed the Fold running a limited selection of standard Android apps on the external screen—including email, Microsoft Office, and Google Maps—although it wasn't clear if all arbitrary Android apps will run on the outside.

Samsung showed someone opening Google Maps on the external screen, and then folding the phone open to see the map expand, something the company calls "app continuity."

You can use it like a money clip and put the large bills on the outside?
