The recently introduced YotaPhone 2, the smartphone with two screens, could welcome a new successor in 2015. We would be talking about the YotaPhone 3, a new version of the mobile with a second electronic ink screen located on the back cover. According to the first data, this new YotaPhone 3 could incorporate innovations such as a solar charging system, a new touch system on the screen and a significant improvement in the speakers, in addition to other changes yet to be confirmed.
If we analyze this news in parts, the first thing we will see is that the start of production of the new YotaPhone 3 is a reality. We are not talking about a rumor, but about a news published by the Russian edition of the Forbes newspaper, where they assure that Vladislav Martynov (an important position within YotaPhone) has confirmed in a recent interview that his company is in the process of developing the new YotaPhone 3. And although Martynov has not been able to confirm a definitive launch date, he has assured that "it can be produced in approximately a year and a half "; that is, the end of 2015 or evenearly 2016.
And from here is where the information arises that we have to interpret with great caution, since we are not only talking about a translation of an interview conducted in Russian, but also Martynov does not mention any specific information regarding the characteristics of the future YotaPhone 3. Rather, it seems that we are looking at an interview in which the features that YotaPhone would like to incorporate into its next smartphone are mentioned; whether or not they will be present depends on other factors.
In this same interview with the head of YotaPhone, Martynov assures that the YotaPhone 3 could incorporate a new front camera system designed for video calls. Martynov stated in the interview that " today, when users have a video call from their mobile instead of looking at the camera they look at the screen ", and adds " what causes the interlocutor not to perceive the person's gaze with whom you are having the conversation . " The solution seems simple, since Martynov assures that “ at YotaPhone we are working on placing a front camera on both sides of the device “, A solution that according to Martynov could end this problem.
During the interview Martynov also mentioned other technologies such as solar recharging through a small panel located on the mobile screen, a new technology for speakers, a new type of haptic touch screens that transmit and simulate textures when touching the screen or a wireless charging system.
Keep in mind that this full interview, published by the Russian daily IZVestia , transcribes a conversation between Vladislav Martynov and a journalist. Martynov adds a critical point of view to each possible YotaPhone 3 technology, analyzing how profitable it would be for YotaPhone to include any of these technologies in its smartphone.
Therefore, in addition to recommending reading the complete interview by following this link: http://izvestia.ru/news/581371, we advise keeping the most important data from this interview: the YotaPhone 3 is already under development, and its arrival it is expected for about a year and a half. From here, the interview can be interpreted with many nuances.
