Replaced my old HTC Desire HD, that is now about 5 years old by the new Yotaphone 2 because my old friend wasn't working properly since last year. I have to say i am deeply impressed by that russian mate. The power of the rear display is just magnificent, i can use all apps on my phones rear display and save so much battery because it's a e-paper display.
Also the phones rear display is very customizable in widgets and stuff, screenhots or pics can be placed and to "protect" your views or apps that are opened on the "always-on" display. No need to turn on the display anymore to check the time, it's always on 
Have loaded it on monday to 100%, still have 46% left (Yotaphone says approx 5 days).
But!, i have no sim(had no nano sim, it's on the way) so couldn't test battery power in combination with phoning and mobile network. Just can say that i exessivly used a crosswords app and always switched it to the e-paper display, touchscreen works properly and althoug using that app so much it didn't drain to much battery.
Although i have to admit the price is quite high, costed 680€, so no cheapi but reasonable, if one thinks of a smartphone with 2 displays
Anyone else having some experience with that fellow?
Disclaimer : For those who think i wanna make ad for this thingy, NO! I'm just impressed by that idea of two displays and wanted to share my joy
Edit : it's the phones backside rear display

Did i use incorrect wording?
front - rear
frontside - backside?

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

"Rear screen" or "rear display".
Even "back screen" or "back display" are fine.
But "backside"[^] has a very specific meaning in English...

Why would you want to do that - it's the Lounge and misunderstandings ar part of its purpose.

Does the camera have a sapphire lens cover?
After my last mistake not checking that, that will be a deal breaker for me in the future.

I really don't know 
What happened?

Scratched, so it's pretty useless in backlight.

AFAIK both displays are scratch resistant and i assume the cam is also. But it can't say for sure. But, i just read an article that a thin layer of bulletprof glas can be put onto displays (without negative effects on touch) to enhance resistance. Maybe this also goes for the cam

I guess PO'H is for the Yodaphone waiting.

As the battery of my old phone is nearing the end of its life I'd like to hear your verdict of the Yotaphone now that you've owned it for a while.

I'm still good with it. My overall usage is not very high ( i play some games, whatsapp, sometimes phoning and use internet). I checked the most battery draining things (display 37% and games 23 %) and yeah since i use the screen on the back a lot my battery lasts between 2 and 5 days. It's not that bad i'd say. Soundquality of the earpieces is good (for listening to music), I got some nice pics on the rear :P.
The touchpanel of the e-paper display is accurate, got no problems on using that and i prefer typing text on it now. Whatsapp is used rarely on my normal display. Facebook got deleted, it cut my idle battery time of 10 days down to 5! That means it would reduce the battery time by half  . The camera is okay, the 8 MP are fine for me, it's a phone no sony - holywoly 50k MP cam . What i really like is that i can use the phone completely on the e-paper display and having time displayed all the time (or whatever i want). All in all i would buy it again.
Overall i'd give it a 8 out of 10 because, yeah it is expensive.
It's a good smartphone with sufficient power (no high end stuff though) but the two displays are really kicking. Everybody who sees me using that thing is asking: "wtE is that? A black/white smartphone?" Then i just trun it round and unlock the normal screen watching them getting big eyes :P.
Hope that is sufficient information, if you need something more specific let me know

Thanks a ton, I think you should get a commission, you just sold it to me.
How's the sound quality without headphones? (I have small children sometime watching movies on my phone)
And are there any useful protecting cases?
|

Oh, okay XD
Uhm yeah, it's a pretty cool gadget, i love it and i hope you are not dissapointed
The quality without headphones is quite good for watching videos. Didn't recognize any bad quality.
The only minus point i found so far is that phoning drains the battery quite alot (i don't phone so much) but they say that 6 hours of phoning leaves it empty.
There are some cases fabricated of leather (T-Case is the one i bought). It's a full surrounding "case". I dont know if there are any that fit to the 2 screens protecting only the sides.
If you really take the money in your hand and buy it, you will definately have a phone to show off

Well, now that the day's almost over, is it reasonable of me to ask you if you'll both join me in my room?
Which movie?
