Royale will unveil its FlexPai 2 foldable smartphone on September 21
TL;DR
- Royole is holding a September 21 event where it’s expected to unveil the FlexPai 2.
- The new foldable phone should have an improved screen, faster performance and more cameras.
- It’s not certain how widely available the FlexPai 2 will be.
The company isn’t providing many clues as to what you can expect, although the imagery from the invitation leaves little doubt that a foldable device is coming.
Royole has already confirmed that the FlexPai 2 will revolve around an improved display. The foldable phone will have a much brighter, more color-accurate screen (reportedly 7.8 inches) that isn’t as prone to creasing. The should be a much stronger hinge, too.
You can likewise expect the phone to catch up in performance. Royole has already promised a Snapdragon 865 chip, dual-mode 5G, 12GB of RAM, and a 4,050mAh battery. A leak from August also suggested it would join the ranks of phones with four cameras, including a main 64MP sensor, 16MP and 8MP shooters, and a 32MP sensor that may be for front-facing shots.

Royale hasn’t offered clues as to price and availability, although it’s expected to undercut other tablet-like foldable phones such as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Huawei’s Mate XS.
The FlexPai 2 should represent a welcome improvement over Royole’s rough-around-the-edges original model. Whether or not it’s a compelling device is another matter. The first FlexPai was pioneering, but rivals are now on second-generation hardware. Royole’s new foldable phone will have much fiercer competition, and there’s no guarantee it will fare as well offerings from well-heeled companies like Huawei and Samsung.
