The YotaPhone is made by Russian smartphone manufacturer Yota, which also provides 4G mobile broadband services in the country. At a launch event in Moscow, Yota Devices CEO Vlad Martynov said that Yotaphone helps to solve the problem of the ‘always dark’ screen that current smartphones suffer from when in sleep mode.
It features a dual-core 1.7GHz Krait CPU, with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Yota has managed to squeeze in 13MP primary camera on the back with 1080p video recording, as well as a 1MP front-facer. As an added bonus there’s LTE support as well, and it’s all powered by a respectable 1,800 mAh battery. The YotaPhone runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
