YotaPhone 2 US release will be totally unconventional just like its top feature. Will its new competition bearing similar specs out do the impressive Android phone?
A 2.3 GHz quad-core processor with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage makes a lot of difference for the YotaPhone 2 against other midrange smartphones. However, the real show stopper is its dual display - front and back touch panels with the back display featuring e-ink technology. The e-ink Android phone features 5-inch OLED primary display and a 4.7-inch back display. It sports an 8 MP rear camera and 2 MP front snapper and currently running on Android Kitkat 4.4.2. A little back dated but the company is currently working on a Lollipop upgrade as it hits the US market. The dual display in YotaPhone is impressive but it's unfortunate that it can no longer monopolize the dual-display market.
Siswoo R9 Darkmoon is a direct competition of the YotaPhone sporting a dual-display and full touch panel. It has a bigger display panel protected with Gorilla Glass 3 on both front and back panels. It's powered by a 64-bit octacore processor clocked at 1.7 GHz, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Darkmoon's back camera is 1MP better than YotaPhone with LED flash with an 8 MP front camera. It also features dual-SIM support and 4G LTE. In addition, it has NFC and Qi wireless charging options. Siswoo have yet to reveal a release date while YotaPhone has already announced when and how the US market can get a hold of the dual display innovation.
In spring, the US market will finally get hold of the YotaPhone 2 release via Indiegogo. It's a unique sales campaign to be premiered by YotaPhone where early supporters of the phone will be privileged with incentives. The smartphone's retail price is expected to be around $600.
YotaPhone 2 could be facing a good competition with Siswoo R9 Darkmoon. However, getting ahead could always bring some useful edge.
