Battery and charger

A non-removable battery is a tradition for YotaPhone. You will have to change it only at service centers for some money. High capacity combined with energy-saving technologies should provide a service life of several days - nothing is known about this yet. But many people will like the fast charge function, since they will have to wait less. We connect the charger, wait 15 minutes - you can last on this amount of charge until the end of the day. Please note that the USB Type C connector is used here.

A few rumors - it is expected that YotaPhone 3, released for the Russian market, will receive support for Qi wireless charging. Why it is not included in the model for the Chinese market is unknown.

Sensors and other little things

The set of sensors in YotaPhone 3 is quite impressive - here we will find a light sensor, an accelerometer, a digital compass, a gyroscope (cool thing for panoramic photos) and a proximity sensor, as well as a barometer and a fingerprint scanner (the latter is located under the main display). We talked about a set of wireless modules, but for some reason the new YotaPhone 3 lacks NFC - you won’t be able to use a smartphone instead of a bank card. But there is information that this module will still appear in the version for the Russian market.

Technologies

As for the introduction of advanced technologies and innovative solutions and developments into a new modification of the domestic smartphone, here the company’s management has lifted the veil of secrecy. With a probability of 80% it can be said that Yotaphone 3 will be equipped with the following know-how in the field of electronics and information technology:

  • virtual camera;
  • tactile display;
  • wireless charger;
  • acoustics.

    Yotaphon 3 can compete with global smartphone manufacturers

As for equipping the new phone with a solar panel to recharge the battery, this most likely will not be implemented. Because it is a yellowish film that is stuck on the display, thereby reducing the clarity of the image. According to the statement of the head of the company, due to the imperfection of this technology, the consumer is not ready to sacrifice the quality of information display for the sake of being able to recharge the battery by 15 - 20%.

Virtual camera

Video calls, as well as photos such as Selfies, are already among the main capabilities of modern phones. When performing such operations, the smartphone user looks not at the camera, but at the display. As a result, the gaze turns out to be slanted to the side.

The basic operating principle of this development is the placement of two front cameras on both sides of the main display. When taking photos or videos, images from two cameras are processed and combined into one image using specialized software. Thus, the user looks at the screen, and the image is broadcast or saved (for example, a photograph - a selfie) without distortion and has high clarity and quality.

Attention! Improved control, synchronization and operating mode of two displays allow you to use applications on equal terms, which increases the convenience and comfort of using the device.

Tactile display

Tactile screen technology is the most advanced development in the field of touch devices. When you touch the surface of the smartphone with your finger, you get a feeling of pressing the keys. Depending on the location of the touch, the user experiences different sensations. This development, in addition to physical contact, provides the opportunity to increase the positioning accuracy and sensitivity of the sensor several times.

Wireless charger

The smartphone manufacturer is actively developing wireless battery charging. The successful implementation of this solution is facilitated by the high throughput of the e-ink display, which is several times higher compared to metal cases. In addition, recently Power Banks that support this technology have begun to appear on the market.

Acoustics

In the Yotaphone 3 smartphone, the speaker system will differ significantly from the standard version, which uses speakers to emit sound. The display glass will be used as an audio signal emitter in the domestic phone. The developers claim that the use of this technology will help achieve high clarity and sound quality.

Based on the available information, we can conclude that the Russian third-generation smartphone can compete on equal terms with analogues produced by Samsung and Apple. For the average consumer, the disadvantage is the price of $350–500, which corresponds to the cost of premium devices.

Presentation: a model for true connoisseurs of literature

The long-awaited presentation of Eta von 3 took place in one of the cities of the Middle Kingdom - Beijing. Everyone who visited the Russian Embassy was able to hear the first official statements about the new product. As it became known, the creation of Yotaphone 3 will be carried out by baoli Yota technologies. This smartphone is a new representative of gadgets, equipped with almost all the necessary functions. This, in turn, gives an answer to the question that worries many: will the 4th generation Internet work on the device? Yes, the Yota von 3 phone supports 4G. It will also be equipped with 2 SIM cards, and at the same time have high performance (as you know, many mobile devices slow down significantly with several SIM cards).

The production of the latest model devices began in September 2022. The first country where the new product appeared on store shelves was China. At the moment, Yota 3 pre-order is not yet available on the official website.

During the presentation, the developers emphasized that literature lovers would especially like the device. Those who experience daily adventures on the pages of books will definitely appreciate the many applications for opening and reading books in electronic format. The gadget includes the “Library of Modern and Classical Literature” application.

Smartphone screens

Yota manufacturers remained true to themselves and did not abandon the main feature of their smartphone - two displays. In addition, developers keep up with the trends set by such large companies as Apple and Samsung, and develop their product by imitating the model of foreign manufacturers.

That is why the Yotaphone 3 smartphone went on sale in several configurations, differing primarily in display sizes. The standard diagonal will be 5.5 inches, a figure that is neither too large nor too small. Also, the configuration will have a significant impact on the price of Yotaphone 3.

The main display will have a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and support video playback in FullHD quality. Regarding the screens located on the back of the smartphone, everything will change slightly. These displays will continue to use electronic ink technology, but their resolution has increased significantly compared to Yotafons of previous generations.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not meet the expectations of customers, so the new smartphone will not use an IPS matrix, but a cheap AMOLED version. The overall design of the displays has also been changed. The developers abandoned rounded corners in favor of a flat surface, due to the fact that the curved shape reproduced the picture with distortion at the rounding points
