I have the YD201 international model and this comes with Android 5.0 and an additional 4G band.
If you search you can still find this around the 145 euros mark.
It works fine and battery life is good, but I'm not a heavy user. I charge it every 2 days and it has plenty left in the tank when I charge it.

As a phone without taking the e-ink screen in consideration, I would rate it middle class in the current market. Add the e-ink screen and it becomes a one of a kind device. Great if you want to travel light with decent e-ink reading capabilities.
However, size-wise it is not a substitute for a normal 5" or 6" e-reader.

The Yotareader app on 5.0 gives you a choice of 8 different fonts, font size selection, 2 formatting options, black or white theme, an index and quotations.

You can customize the back e-ink screen by filling templates with supplied building blocks like clock (digital/analog), weather, calendar/appointments, mail/calls/messages notifications, background pictures etc.
Most icons will open dedicated e-ink apps after double tapping, some seem to open the default app on the e-ink screen.

You can have several back screens and you can swipe through them after activating the screen by double tapping.

I'm very happy with mine.
