Russian Manufacturer Yota Devices have announced the YotaPhone 3 at the China-Russia Expo in Harbin. The successor to the YotaPhone 2, which made some waves when it came with an E Ink display on its back, will also feature a rear E Ink display which You can flip in direct sunlight, with an AMOLED screen on the front. The first one from the brand sucked but the second version was not completely terrible, was hardly an unqualified success, with a canceled rollout in the US and refunds a plenty.
We don’t have many details on the handset for the time being, but sources at the expo are reporting that a 64GB model will sell in the region of $350 (around £275), with a 128GB option for $450 (£350).
Specifications:
The Yota3 sports a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display on the front and a 5.2-inch 720p E Ink touchscreen on the back that saves the image even when the battery runs out. a source revealed that it is powered by a mid-range Snapdragon 625 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64 or 128GB internal storage optional. It has a 12-megapixel rear shooter with dual flash and a 13-megapixel front shooter, powered by a 3,200mAh battery with a USB-C port and a fingerprint sensor on the front side.
The official YotaPhone Instagram account said that “The YotaPhone 3 was still in development, and that interested parties should stay tuned for further information”. A short time later the company posted a teaser image of the phone, with a brief message saying that pre-orders would be opening in the summer, and this latest news suggests that the company is on right track to launch it.
The phone will ship in China in September, apparently, and in Russia sometime after that. Hopefully, things will change this time around, and there will be a US version of the YotaPhone 3. Yota Devices is expected to announce more details about the smartphone later this summer so we’ll have to wait until Yota announces its complete specs sheets in public.
