The dual-screen YotaPhone 2 has been announced back in February 2014 but still has to reach the US. For now, this unique Android handset is available in 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and the CIS. While it should have landed on US soil by the end of 2014, it seems like YotaPhone 2 will only do that this spring.
"Sources familiar with the matter" who spoke to Android Authority revealed that YotaPhone 2 will reach the US via T-Mobile in March-April. These are the device's highlights:
