What bloggers say about the dual-screen YotaPhone
On December 4, the Russian smartphone YotaPhone with two screens went on sale. TJournal followed the reaction of ordinary bloggers and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who became one of the first owners of the new product.
YotaPhone will cost 19,990 rubles. For this money, buyers will receive an Android smartphone with an additional black-and-white screen with “electronic ink” and LTE support.
Those who followed the presentation of the device had questions about its price (it seemed overpriced to many) and the possible quality of the product.
Congratulations to @YotaDevicesRu on the launch of #YotaPhone . A lot of work was done and the idea turned into a nice product! pic.twitter.com/B72lHMln5w

I really want Yota Devices to succeed, but the product will not take off for 20,000 rubles. in this world the triumph of brands and prejudices.

I like the stated parameters and capabilities of Yotafon. Only the battery is bad. In smartphones, no matter what the flagship is, it’s battery-free garbage.

I, of course, am very happy for the iotaphone and will definitely twirl it in my hands, but this is all very funny (and sad)

“In video playback mode at maximum brightness, it lasts 4 hours; with games, YotaPhone lasts 2 hours.” Let's go our separate ways.

You can buy a Yotafone for 20,000 rubles today. But why the fuck?

In response to YotaPhone, Samsung introduced a smartphone with 4 screens. At the presentation they said, and I quote: “Be-be-be! We have more!”

Let them shove their iotaphone up their ass

No, the iotaphone is not very good... well, maid in Russia, what am I talking about)

my reaction to the Yotafon - only in the video you need to replace “iPhone” with “Yotafon”, and “500 dollars” with “20 thousand rubles” http://t.co/5cmQK96hPU

“Yota hopes to sell 500,000 YotaPhones across its launch territories” 500 thousand? Are they all stubborn over there?

@eldarmurtazin if they paid twenty dollars extra, I would take it

@eldarmurtazin @plidov he’s the one who hasn’t come to his senses yet after yesterday

The press release about YotaPhone said that this is the only smartphone with two screens. Neither Boris Vedensky from the Android portal Droider.ru, nor ardent fans of Apple products Alex Patsay and Rustem Adagamov ignored this statement.
From the Apostle's press release: "YotaPhone is the only phone in the world with two screens." Seriously? The only one? #facepalm #TinaGet

It’s also interesting how Yota claims that their smartphone is the first with two screens. ORLY? Kyocera Echo Sprint, for example pic.twitter.com/2f3uN7Rlmn

heh, a quick google on smartphones with two screens shows so much. Eh, iota-yopta...

Oh, it turns out that someone already invented a Russian invention more than a year ago http://t.co/AFpud7hLC2 Well, what a shame

This dual-screen smartphone from E-Ink was shown at IFA in August 2012 :-) pic.twitter.com/kR4pk9nwAq

After the presentation, Russian news agencies reported on a meeting between the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, dedicated to YotaPhone. “During a working meeting at the Gorki residence near Moscow, Chemezov demonstrated to the prime minister a Russian invention - a smartphone with a liquid crystal screen,” RIA Novosti reports, proudly noting: “Chemezov explained that this is a 100 percent Russian invention, but the details are foreign.”
Chemezov embellished the reality a little, saying that YotaPhone will cost 18-19 thousand rubles (he contrasted the smartphone with iPhones for 22-23 thousand). Dmitry Medvedev, having learned that YotaPhone received an award at an exhibition in Las Vegas, remarked: “In short, Apple has tensed up.”

Dmitry Medvedev said that Yotafon is too expensive and asked to give him this smartphone

My iPhone got a little tense loading the YotaPhone image

After the Yotafon presentation, Apple tensed up... down there

Chemezov gave Medvedev a double-decker Russian smartphone

Instead of showing Medvedev the first Russian smartphone, it would be better to show the first Russian law-abiding police officer.

Later, Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov said that he would buy a new product: “I will buy it. I will do this out of my own, personal professional interest, and for patriotic reasons. I believe that it is very important to support Russian manufacturers of such devices.”
The Minister of Communications will buy the first Russian smartphone, Interfax, for patriotic reasons. Apparently, there are no other reasons to buy domestic products.
