The Royole Corporation, a start-up based in California has announced the first commercially available foldable smartphone, the Royole FlexPai.

Royole officially launched the device in Beijing late last month, in an attempt to disrupt consumers’ traditional concept of a smartphone. The product is marketed as being a hybrid between a mobile  [Read More…]

Filed Under: Android News by Android NewsPad — Comments Off on 10 years of Android: How the best mobile OS was made
September 29, 2018

You’ve come a long way, baby.

Step into the Wayback Machine and travel to October 2008, if you will.

It’s no secret that HTC’s smartphone business has been struggling for years. The company’s latest flagship, the U12+ hasn’t done much to turn things around and in July, the phone maker was forced to lay off 1,500 workers in its manufacturing unit in Taiwan.
