The said device will debut in China as YOTA3 while buyers can pre-order the device from September 5, 2017. The smartphone will start selling on September 18.

YOTAPHONE 3 will be no different from its predecessors in terms of the dual screen on the device. It too will sport two displays, while the front display will be 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, the rear display will be the 5.2-inch HD E Ink touchscreen.

The smartphone has been announced in two variants, one with 64GB of internal storage while the other with 128GB of internal storage. The variants have been priced at 2,398 Yuan (approx. Rs 23,054 )and 3,098 Yuan (approx. Rs. 29,784) respectively.

Earlier YOTA smartphone did offer a second display on the rear panel, however, its performance was pretty basic and suffered a lot of lag while operating. We hope YOTA has given its latest smartphone a better performing dual display setup that is not only sufficient for basic tasks but also offers decent graphical prowess.
