The screen should be brighter and less discolored at an angle. In addition, there is a new hinge and the screen should be sturdier. Royole has also equipped the device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865-soc with 5g modem, lpddr5 RAM and ufs 3.0 storage. There are four cameras on the back instead of three.

It’s not a full announcement; that will follow later. Then Royole will also announce what it will cost and when it will be released. This must be done in any case before the end of June, according to the manufacturer.
