Yota Phone : Is it the next generation phone?

Yotaphone, the new international brand manufacturing device company is out with the first ever dual screen phone. The front screen is a regular screen like the one in every mobile phone. However, I choose to call it next generation because it comes with a secondary screen at the back which has the e-Ink technology, the one in your kindle readers. This helps you to read unlimited books of course and also access all the contents of your phone like messages , facebook etc. Using the secondary screen saves battery life immensely as it doesn't consume so much power as accessing the same features on the primary screen. this is truly an smart and intelligent design, also a dream for the book lovers.

The Yotaphone Device: Front (primary) and Back (secondary) Screens

The first generation of Yota didn't have a good navigation of the secondary screen making it hard to access, but that feature has been made better in the second generation. This phone totally stands out of the crowd and people planning to buy both a kindle and a phone can do with now just a Yotaphone.  The phone also boasts of a 32gb internal storage, 1.7 GHz + Snapdragon 400, Dual Core, 13 megapixel primary camera and 2gb RAM. 

The device is only available in India via Flipkart only and hence we haven't got a chance to review it yet. Hope that will happen soon. Its Priced at 23,499; little higher than its competitors with similar specifications. Also with Xiomi being a tough competitor, Yotaphone should reconsider its pricing around 15,000-18,000 INR.  Though it does stand out via its USP but going by the public reviews on Flipkart, they still have to do a lot of work on the screen yet. Also they should increase their screen size as that facilitates reading better, 4.3 inches is just not good enough. The secondary camera is just 1 MP and thats just too low as the generations of phones coming out now will have a minimum of 2-5MP camera. 

Once they work on these I will surely grab one, for what does one want more than reading books at leisure on a phone?
