Earlier this year you might have heard that Yota Devices launched a successor to 2013’s YotaPhone called the YotaPhone 2. The device was unfortunately limited to the Russian market and it was unclear as to when the phone would be making its way to other parts of the world, at least until recently where the company revealed their plans to make it more widely available in December.
Well the good news is that they finally have as the YotaPhone 2 has been officially announced for the UK. As for a launch stateside, Yota Devices told Sputnik News that a worldwide launch will be taking place early next year, so hopefully its availability stateside will be part of that release as well. Alternatively you could always import the phone from Europe ahead of the official release if that’s what you truly desire.
For those who are learning about the YotaPhone 2 for the first time, this is a unique phone in the sense that it sports both a color display and an e-paper display. The e-paper display is on the back of the device where it will display simple information like the time and notifications, thus saving your phone’s battery as you won’t need to call upon the full color display all the time.
Under the hood the YotaPhone 2 will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard storage, an 8MP rear-facing camera, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and will come with a 2,500mAh battery.
