While Samsung was one of the first brands to launch a foldable smartphone in the market, it wasn’t the first one to actually release a device with a foldable display. Royole takes that claim with its FlexPai lineup of foldable handsets, and now, we have have information on its upcoming third iteration of this series.
A known tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared a new image that was a leaked render of the upcoming FlexPai 3. In other words, the successor of the FlexPai 2 has just been revealed. Looking at the image, it appears that the Chinese smartphone maker has made major changes in design for the next generation of foldable handset. The device now features a dedicated rear mounted camera module and even feature a pop up selfie camera as well, opposed to the single vertically stacked camera module on the side of the display that acted as both the selfie and rear shooter.
Although, the rear camera module now only includes two sensors, which is a downgrade from last gen’s four image sensors. Furthermore, it appears that the device will be an outward folding device, similar to its predecessor, as we can also observe a square shaped area that is bent inward in the other half of the rear panel. This would likely help in accommodating the camera module’s bump when in the folded state.
As of right now, finer details regarding the smartphone is still unavailable. However, the Royole FlexPai 3 was also recently spotted on TENAA (Via XDADevelopers) that revealed some key information. The foldable phone will apparently feature a 7.2 inch display and will be powered by a 3,360mAh battery pack. Unfortunately, that is all the information we have to go on for now.
