In a stunning upset for Huawei and Samsung, California-based start-up Royole has laid claim to the world's first foldable smartphone, the FlexPai mobile, which officially went on sale Thursday in China. The phone is priced from $1,295.49 to $1,871.33 and will be shipping sometime in December.
Royole, a six-year-old components manufacturer, said FlexPai would "subvert people's perception of traditional smart phones," functioning as a portable device and a high-definition large screen tablet, with the capability to support dual-screen use. During the press conference, Bill Liu, founder and CEO of Royole, also announced that the firm would invest 200 million yuan into global firms that would develop apps and software for the device.
