The luxury brand Vertu, once created by Nokia and changed hands several times amid its collapse, still exists, but now it is only engaged in the release of branded versions of Chinese smartphones – ZTE, Hisense and Royole. The latter supplies the brand with its folding devices. The first-born Vertu Ayxta Fold was based on the Royole FlexPai 2, and the new one was based on the Royole F3, certified in China a year and a half ago and still unannounced.
As before, this is a “clamshell screen out”, but this time Royole did something very unusual with the cameras. If we talk about the deployed mode, then the cameras are on the back panel, but can recline for use as front cameras. In minimized mode, this means that you have to rotate the smartphone slightly, tilt the camera, and then rotate it with different halves of the screen towards you in order to use the same cameras as the main ones, then as the front ones. There are no cameras on the inside of the case.
With other chips, the phone is doing badly – therefore, among them, Vertu even notes the wallpaper that makes the Ayxta Fold 3 look like a handbag. For greater realism, Vertu even sells an accessory for wearing the device on a strap. The characteristics of the device include a 7.2 “display with a resolution of 1620×1520 pixels (9.6: 9), a 3500 mAh battery, a 48 MP + 16 MP dual camera, a USB Type-C connector and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset. The novelty works out of the box. on Android 10; whether Vertu plans to update it to a more recent version is unknown. The smartphone is sold in seven colors with an alligator skin back panel; the price is $ 8,050 (480,400 rubles) for the 8 + 256 GB version. There are no other modifications.
