The YotaPhone 2 - The Two-Faced Smartphone

welcome back to another installment of.....

Thank you!

now....

lets talk about the phone with two faces...

In the United Kingdom, there is a phone with two displays. This particular device is making quite a few waves in the tech world. Its simply known as the Yotaphone.
This particular blog will review the Yotaphone's 2nd variant, adequately named the Yotaphone 2.


As seen above, the Yotaphone sports a  kind of average (not meaning bad) 1920x1080 main display across a 5 inch LDC display, nothing you haven't hear of before of course. 

however the rear display, is comprised of E-Ink technology ( that is present on the early Kindle E-Readers) that allows for the phone to be operated completely from the rear screen.

And that's not all this E-ink 4.7inch rear display, when operated, can significantly save on battery life, thus extending the range of this device far past 48 hours of operation. (even if its just black and white, it would seem that color requires more power than we first realized) 



But wait, there's more...

vital information can be stored on the rear display because of its "always on" feature, which means that even when the battery is depleted, the rear display will still be indefinitely active.
Yes, that means info such as, boarding pass qr codes, gps directions, shipping information, and much more can still be displayed on the rear screen, when you find that you just didn't make it to a charger in time! How awesome is that!?

Naturally you can customize the rear screen and what it displays. Just know it will show in black and white only. Personally, I find it quite retro-chic, but maybe thats just me...

Here are the other specifications for the Yotaphone 2 (2014)
  • It is running Android 4.4 KitKat
  • 2500 mAh battery capacity
  • 2.3ghz processor
  • Quad-Core
  • 2GB of Ram
  • YotaEnergy (promises 48+ hours of operation)
  • 3g (4gLte capable)

The Yotaphone 2 was easily the most innovative mobile device of 2014, from across the pond. 
it can definitely be said that the United Kingdom is not to be ignored when it comes to discovering new and inventive ways to use technology.



I know we here at TechExpo' will be keeping a close eye on the progress of the Yotaphone!

Now, it comes in black or white, and the E-ink display works the same on the white version, just with inverted color scheme. 

and dont be upset, even though the device originates in the UK, it is available in the States
 
While in the Kingdom, the Yotaphone 2 is sold for 555 pounds, 
(in the states that translates to  about $717)

There is also the original Yotaphone available for a mere 319 pounds ($488 USD)

and you can purchase them here = (( https://yotaphone.com/gb-en/ ))

now, keep in mind that these are contract-free, unlocked phones with 3g/4gLTE capability. 

the price tag may be intimidating, but the quality of technology is worth that and more. 

hopefully, we can manage to get our hands on it soon to bring you guys an "after the purchase" segment. 

in any event....
