The Royole FlexPai is a kind of device when they feel the need to be the first ones to be out with new technology. The smartphone which measures 7.8 inches diagonally, is an Android tablet. It becomes two, when it is closed or flexed. It also provides two SIM slots and provides an auto-detection system that only shows content on the half of the folded screen. The user gets a 1920 x 1440 resolution on the full display, and that shrinks to less than half when in phone mode.

Lockly’s Secure Pro combines a random number generator with an app. It comes with a keypad that generates numbers in random order every time you need to enter your passcode. Each input on the keypad is actually three numbers, so even if someone watches along as you tap the code in, they likely wouldn’t be able to guess what you’ve entered. Apart from the keypad, there is also a fingerprint scanner and a way to unlock through either the mobile app or through voice assistant command. In case you can't open it with anything, there is a regular key as well.
