YotaPhone 2 US launch cancelled - Liliputing
Yota Devices says backers of the campaign will be able to either request a refund or receive an international version of the phone instead of a US-specific model… although the logistics for refunds are still being worked out. The Yotaphone 2 is an unusual phone with a 5 inch AMOLED full HD color display on one side and a 4. 7 inch, 960 x 540 pixel grayscale E Ink display on the other. The phone runs Google Android software and can either mirror the color display to the digital paper screen so that you can run full Android apps on an E Ink display, or push content from specific apps to show weather, time, pictures, eBooks, or... The idea is that you have one screen that gives you a normal Android smartphone experience, and a second screen that’s easier to read in direct sunlight and which uses less power, allowing you to extend the phone’s battery life. Yota provided me with a demo of the phone at CES in January, and while it’s not necessarily the best option for everyone, I could see how the dual-display feature could come in handy. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 2,500 mAh battery, 802. 11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4. 0, and NFC. Source: liliputing.com
