YotaPhone 2 Hands On

Yota Devices is a Russian company that entered the mental space of tech enthusiasts everywhere with the debut of the original YotaPhone a couple of years ago. The YotaPhone 2 is an amazing example of massive improvement through just one generation of iteration: The original device was a mess of compromises, generally unfit for use beyond an R&D lab. TechCrunch reviews the YotaPhone 2, a unique Android smartphone with one standard OLED display, and one low-power E-Ink display on the back.

E-ink really needs to catch on more. I want to be able to use my phone as a reading device, but smartphone battery technology still sucks ass in 2015.

very cool but £555 in UK, reduces the temptation.
