Batelco launches YotaPhone2 limited edition
MANAMA, May 14, 2015
Leading communication solutions provider Batelco has launched the YotaPhone2 limited edition White version.
The new colour scheme doesn’t only impact the shell of the phone, but also the ‘Always On’ display, which has been inverted to enhance the appearance of apps, notifications and other content, said a statement.
The limited edition new device was launched at a special event at the Ritz Carlton Hotel recently when Yota Devices chief executive officer Vladislav Martynov led a presentation for invited guests and media, in the presence of Batelco officials and senior executives from Bin Hindi the official distributer for Yota Devices in Bahrain.
YotaPhone 2 combines Android familiarity with something that has never been accomplished before: two fully touch-enabled displays with two very different personalities.
It is lightweight at only 145 grams, very slim and with durable Gorilla Glass 3 on both sides.
The front display is a high-definition 1080p Amoled screen that is perfect for everyday use such as social networking, browsing, watching videos or playing games.
Turn the phone around and one will see the other front electronic paper display (EPD) screen, which uses a Yota Always-On Display that is ideal for e-reading, notifications, outdoor visibility and much more.
With the EPD screen nothing is impossible to read in bright sunlight and is perfectly readable even in the brightest sunshine.
The latest edition of YotaPhone 2 also incorporates new widgets that are sure to be super popular with users who can now put full-screen Facebook, Twitter and Instagram widgets on the second display, allowing users to follow social activity without having to interact with the phone at all.
Yota Devices has also launched a new accessory that makes the perfect accompaniment to the YotaPhone2, the Yota Wireless Power Bank which is a portable wireless charger that sits by your bed at night, recharging you phone.
Muna Al Hashemi, acting chief executive officer, Batelco, said that Batelco is delighted to be the first and the only provider to deliver the keenly anticipated YotaPhone2 White Edition for the kingdom.
“We are fully committed to delivering the latest devices and services to our customers with best value bundled deals that meet their sophisticated requirements.”
Karim Sawan, Yota Devices vice president for Middle East and Africa, said: "We believe our technology constitutes an entirely new class of mobile device, not just by integrating a power efficient electronic paper display, but by making two screens work in harmony.
”Bahrain is a key market for Yota Devices’ expansion strategy in the Middle East. We are very pleased with the response to the launch of YotaPhone 2 in March and we believe that the white edition with its unique features and our partnership with Batelco will continue to be a hit in Bahrain.” - TradeArabia News Service
