YotaPhone 2 Overview

  • Display: The main display is a 5.0-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels, providing sharp and vibrant visuals. The secondary e-Ink display on the back is 4.7 inches, offering a convenient way to read or view information without turning on the main screen.
  • Chipset: It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, which was a top-tier processor at the time of its release, offering good performance for apps, multitasking, and media consumption.
  • RAM and Storage: The device comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which should be adequate for everyday use, although it might be limiting for users who store a lot of media or apps.
  • Cameras: It features an 8MP primary camera and a 2.1MP front-facing camera. While not groundbreaking by today’s standards, these cameras are capable of capturing decent photos and selfies.
  • Battery: The YotaPhone 2 is equipped with a 2500mAh battery, which is complemented by the energy-efficient e-Ink display, offering the potential for extended battery life compared to traditional smartphones.
  • Operating System: At launch, it ran on Android 4.4.3 KitKat, and it was later upgradable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, providing users with access to a wide range of Android features and apps.
