What we like about Royole FlexPai 2 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Significantly lower price point (around $1,500) compared to competitors like the [Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2](Use code with caution.jsonhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2020/10/11/royole-flexpai-2-review-the-worlds-first-foldable-phone-is-back-with-much-improved-sequel/Use code with caution.json)
  • Hinge design allows the device to fold completely flat without a visible gap
  • Improved 'Cicada Wing' display with better brightness, color gamut, and touch response than the original model
  • Solid multitasking capabilities with WaterOS, allowing up to three apps to run simultaneously in split-screen
  • High-end internal hardware including the Snapdragon 865 processor and up to 12GB of RAM
  • Large 7.8-inch tablet-style screen that is ideal for watching videos and browsing

What we don't like about Royole FlexPai 2 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lacks native Google Mobile Services (GMS), making it difficult to use common Western apps like YouTube or Maps directly
  • The 'outward-folding' design leaves the plastic screen permanently exposed and vulnerable to scratches or damage
  • Noticeably heavy and bulky at 339g, making it unwieldy for one-handed use
  • Cameras are described as 'solid but unremarkable' with muted colors compared to flagship rivals
  • The plastic screen surface feels softer and less premium than the 'ultra-thin glass' used by competitors
  • Hinge can produce audible creaking or clicking noises during operation
  • Manufacturer [Royole has declared bankruptcy](Use code with caution.jsonhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/rise-fall-royole-technologies-lessons-from-innovative-odofin-pzdafUse code with caution.json), leading to severe concerns regarding long-term software support and repairs

Verdict

The Royole FlexPai 2 (12GB + 512GB) is a second-generation foldable smartphone featuring a 7.8-inch, 1920x1440 resolution Cicada Wing flexible OLED display that folds outwards, powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and supported by a robust 3S stepless hinge tested for over 1.8 million folds. Main characteristics include 5G connectivity, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512GB UFS 3.0 storage, and a versatile quad-camera system (64MP main, 32MP portrait, 16MP ultrawide, 8MP telephoto) which doubles for high-quality selfies. The primary pros are its competitive price point compared to rivals at launch, a durable gapless hinge design, an impressive camera setup with 3x optical zoom, and an expansive, bright display. The main cons are its bulkier 339g weight compared to some competitors, limited availability (primarily a China-only launch), and the lack of full Google services support in global markets, meaning some OS elements and apps may default to Chinese.
