Yota YotaPhone - Pros & Cons

colors and exposure were good
the stock interface is fairly good-looking
Maps is another good use
the smartphone can boast with low specific absorption rates
nice and sharp in good light conditions
Telephony and Voice Quality The voice quality of the YotaPhone 2 is quite decent
the displayed image always remains well-legible
color reproduction is relatively good
It is very basic and functional
relatively high light sensitivity makes it quite suitable for videoconferencing
decent touchscreen and impeccably functioning sensors round
a well-conceived and configurable feature
app's design is quite basic and easy to use
The volume key has a pretty neat party trick
Competently made
extremely energy-efficient E Ink display
best work in bright
sunlit conditions
oblong shape is charming in its own right
Touchscreen responsiveness is similarly impressive
unparalleled dual-screen design and top-tier performance

10mm thickness puts it very much on the chunky side
lack of software that supports the second screen
difficult for individual handsets to stand out from the crowd
The quality of the second display is poor
poor quality of the display
no memory card slot to let you add to this
it never stops feeling a bit awkward
too many bits traded away for the sake of the rear display
hardly gobbles up any energy being so
provocative
but a bit jarring
It suffers especially in low-light
lags further behind its rivals than expected in the benchmarks
the logo does not light up then
Only the storage configuration has not been modified
overexposure is a bit more evident
YotaPhone 2 and generally sounds a bit muffled
numerous gimmicky attempts at making Android run on an electronic paper display
stuck in the old habit of turning on the phone to handle notifications quickly
a purple-lit office space with glass doors
hundreds of millions of dollars are still missing from the exchange
the Mercedes Formula 1 team have already ended deals with the fallen firm
the second screen is no longer an oddity
images are noticeably washed out and lacking any real depth of color
Slightly ill-defined and muffled
significantly more sluggish to navigate
neither bound in anodized aluminum
