Yotaphone 2 Eink Android Phone. Now Cheap!

induna · 09-24-2016, 06:05 PM

In case anyone is interested, I've been seeing the Yotaphone 2 on sale for around $140 on several Chinese websites like Banggood.com and gearbest.com. It is a 5.0" dual screen Android phone with an always on Eink display on one side. It has 2GB RAM, 32GB of ROM and is running Android KitKat 4.4 (a little old). I know nothing directly about the device, but thought someone might find it interesting at the price. Here is a link to info on Amazon's website: https://www.amazon.com/Smartphone-Yo.../dp/B00PZPYN0S . It is available much cheaper directly from China.

Thank you Induna!

I was eyeing Yotaphone for around $350 a few months ago but decided to splurge on Sony DPT-S1 instead.

Now at $140 (from Gearbest) this was just an impulse purchase.

Probably it means that Yotaphone 3 is coming up soon.

As this was originally $700 device build quality should be good, only thing worrisome is that Android 5.0 update supposedly decreases performance as compared to original 4.4.

Thank you Induna for bringing this to our attention.
I bought an international version (YD201 with 800 Mhz 4G) from Coolicool.com and received it today.
First impression is it is a very good device, with useful applications for the e-ink screen.
