YotaPhone now selling for just $211 in India

The dual-screen smartphone, YotaPhone, launched in India back in October last year. At that time, it was priced at INR 23,499 ($382). The device received its first price cut the following month, bringing its value down to INR 17,999 ($292), and now, the smartphone’s price has again been slashed, this time by INR 5,000 ($81), which means that it can now be purchased for just INR 12,999 ($211).

As we’ve already noted, the YotaPhone features two displays - the one on the front is a 4.3-inch, 1280x720 LCD, while that on the back is a 4.3-inch, 640x480 resolution electronic paper display. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8960T with dual-core 1.7GHz Krait 300 CPU and Adreno 320 GPU, and comes with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage space.

The device also has 13 MP rear camera, 1 MP front camera, and 4G connectivity. The smartphone runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and packs in a 1,800mAh battery. Its successor, the YotaPhone 2 was launched last month, although it hasn’t yet arrived in India.
