YotaPhone 3 will introduce patented Russian technologies

The Russian company Yota Devices intends to continue to release innovative smartphones YotaPhone with two screens.

This phone is not among the world leaders in sales: the first model has sold about 40,000 copies ( as of May 2014 ). The second model was announced in February 2014. In Russia, the presentation took place on December 2, 2014, sales began on December 6 (39,990 rubles).

Release YotaPhone will continue. YotaPhone 3 will appear on the market within 1 to 1.5 years, Yota Devices CEO Vladislav Martynov said in an interview with Izvestia.

The head of Yota Devices spoke about the patented developments. Some of them may appear in YotaPhone 3. For example, a virtual camera. Now when communicating via video, the user is looking not at the built-in camera, but at the display. Therefore, it seems that the view of a person is directed to the side. Yota Devices proposes to arrange the camera on both sides of the display ("interlocutor's eyes") - working in conjunction, they form one virtual camera in the middle.

β€œWe need to estimate how much the consumer is willing to pay for this function,” said Martynov. - If he is willing to pay an additional $ 3 or $ 5, and if a substantial share of users - more than 40% - will use this function, then it makes sense to invest. If this picture does not come out, then you have to wait. ”

The company is also studying a yellow photocell film that will generate electricity from the light falling on the screen.

Another technology is the use of the screen as sound speakers. β€œAt the same time, the sound quality is good, even slightly better than through the speakers,” Martynov assured. β€œWe have been actively working with this technology for the last 2 years.”

Another promising development is tactile feedback technology, which provides different sensations when clicking on different points of the display.
