Royole’s FlexPai 2 5G foldable phone costs under $1,500

[ad_1] Royole Compared to its competitors, Royole has once again priced its phone-tablet hybrid rather aggressively. In China, Huawei’s Mate Xs — which also uses an outward-facing flexible screen — costs 16,999 yuan or about $2,510, which is significantly more than even the higher-end FlexPai 2. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 2 is only asking for […]

Samsung teases premium Thom Browne Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 2

[ad_1] As you might imagine, though, the combination of a fashion imprint and the extras could easily make this one of the most expensive Samsung phones to date. The Thom Browne Galaxy Z Flip cost $2,480 when new, or well over the $1,380 price of the standard Z Flip. With the Z Fold 2 likely […]

Motorola Razr’s Android 10 update makes better use of the outer screen

[ad_1] Motorola is finally updating the new Razr to Android 10, but it’s not just an under-the-hood update — it should deliver genuinely functional improvements, particularly when the foldable phone is closed. You can now use more apps on the outer (aka Quick View) screen, including Google Maps’ turn-by-turn navigation and music control for apps […]

Motorola has a two-for-one deal on its foldable Razr phone

[ad_1] Foldable smartphones are clearly in their infancy, but there is a certain level of hype around them. If you’ve been on the fence about becoming an early adopter, Motorola’s buy-one-get-one deal on its Razr flip phone might be worth checking out. You get two foldables for the price of one, but that price is […]

YouTube now takes full advantage of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip

[ad_1] If you splurged on a Galaxy Z Flip, you’ll be glad to hear that it’s now a better video viewing machine. Google is rolling out an updated YouTube app for Android that supports the foldable smartphone’s Flex mode. Prop up the Z Flip’s top half and you can watch clips hands-free, with comments and […]

Motorola’s Razr is still $1,500 but now you can get it in ‘blush gold’

[ad_1] The Motorola Razr is now available in blush gold, in case the only thing that’s keeping you from spending $1,500 on one is the fact that the phone only came in black. While the new option thankfully doesn’t make the foldable device even more expensive, the only difference between it and the basic black […]

Royole’s next foldable phone is much better at bending

[ad_1] The most notable feature about Royole’s third-generation Cicada Wing FFD (Fully Flexible Display) on this device is perhaps its much improved bend radius, going from the previous version’s 3mm down to just 1mm, while still lasting over 200,000 bends. This gives the phone a much better fold — perhaps much closer to, if not […]

Android 11 developer preview offers more control over robocalls

[ad_1] DP2 is better-suited to modern hardware, too. Games and other apps can set a preferred refresh rate if you happen to have a phone with a speedy screen, like the Galaxy S20 or Pixel 4. Android 11 will also support hinge sensors so that foldable phones can react to an open phone’s specific angle. […]

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip review: Admire it, don’t buy it

[ad_1] Practically speaking, there are only two notable shortcomings. First, its resolution: at 2636×1080, it’s far less pixel-dense than a Galaxy S20, but you’ll probably never notice the difference unless your nose is pushed up against the screen. The other is that, presumably because of its odd, 21.9:9 aspect ratio, some apps don’t scale to […]

The Galaxy Z Flip’s hinge fibers aren’t enough to keep dust out

[ad_1] We’ve asked Samsung for comment. iFixit is planning to publish a full teardown in the early hours of February 19th that might shed more light. The Z Flip does have water-resistant circuitboards, at least, so it’s less likely to die if you’re unfortunate enough to spill water on your $1,380 pride and joy. This […]
