The world hasn’t heard much of Yota in several years and the last launch anyone could remember was the Yota2, which was four years ago.
Recently, Endgadget reported that Baoli Yota, the joint venture formed by investor Baoli and manufacturer Coolpad, teased an upcoming “Yota3”, due to be released early fall later this year, possible around October/November. The new phones is noted to come with 4GB or 128GB of storage for a wallet friendly $350 or $450, respectively.
Nothing much has been revealed regarding the design or specification, but sources told Endgadget that it’s merely a new model with bigger screens, powered by a mid-range Snapdragon 625 chipset — the same silicon you’d find in the ASUS ZenFone 3, Moto Z Play and BlackBerry KEYone.
According to a spec sheet that Endgadget got their hands on, the Yota3 packs a much bigger 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display on the front and a 5.2-inch 720p E Ink touchscreen on the back. There will be a fingerprint sensor on the front. It’ll also come with Android Nougat, 4GB of RAM, hybrid dual SIM slot, a 12MP main camera with dual flash, a 13MP front camera, a 3,200mAh battery and a USB-C port which also does audio output.
At the moment, specs seems promising, but if the launch is delayed any further, some of the specs might be slightly outdated.
