Dual screen YotaPhone debuts at €499

The YotaPhone pricing €499 in Europe and 19,980 rubles in Russia is a great gadget to invest in which blends the qualities of an e-reader and a smartphone. The two prototypes of this device that has been used for the purpose of attaining observations have justified the ideas promised. Any flaw observed has been removed in the retail edition of this gadget.

This dual purpose gadget works on Android operating system. This YotaPhone has a 4.3-inch 720p LCD front display. Its fast processing is rendered by a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor and 2GB RAM. The 32GB of storage provides the users with a wider space to store their data. The rear e-paper display too is of 4.3 inches but doesn’t match the LCD display. Its resolution is 640×360 pixels which is lower than that of the front display. During the display of a static image, the e-reader does not consume the battery power.

Hence, the YotaPhone facilitates e-books, notification and other information reading at a power friendly rate. This feature of the gadget is helpful in displaying any image for a longer time at the e-paper display that has been captured from the front camera. This makes easy for the users to navigate maps and shopping lists that are displayed for a longer time without compromising with the battery consumption.

Apart from a power button and volume rocker, there are no physical buttons on this device. Rather two touch-sensitive strips are rendered which works as home, back and multitasking buttons. YotaPhone works best with 3G and LTE modems providing fast internet surfing to the users.
