YotaPhone 3 and YotaPhone 2c: Here’s what’s coming next from Yota

yotaphone

The YotaPhone 2 began its journey to the U.S. last week, but the Russian company is already planning its future smartphones. We recently spoke to Yota’s Managing Director for the Americas, Matthew G. Kelly, who revealed plans for a YotaPhone 3 and a YotaPhone 2c in the not-too-distant future.

The YotaPhone 3 will offer better specs, including a faster processor (likely from Qualcomm) a sharper display and a better E Ink screen in back. You can also expect more RAM (up from 2GB on the YotaPhone 2), a more powerful camera, and a thinner design overall. When the YotaPhone 3 actually launches may depend on its predecessor’s success, though it looks like the current YotaPhone is already a hit here in the U.S.

“We have a next-generation product lined up,” Kelly told TechnoBuffalo. “We can’t sell our next generation until we sell our current one. Carriers are interested, but a lot hinges on how well the YotaPhona 2 does.”

Kelly also confirmed plans for a cheaper YotaPhone 2c, which he says is “definitely in the works.” It may even launch this year. Again, it all depends on how well the current model sells. “We pumped a lot of premium specs into YotaPhone 2, but based on market feedback, a lot of people said they could do without certain features. So YotaPhone 2c is in the works if people want it.”

Rumors of a YotaPhone 3 and YotaPhone 2c surfaced earlier this year when the company’s plans for a U.S. launch first leaked out. At the time, these devices were just rumors with no evidence to back them up. Now we know for a fact that Yota is working on two new handsets: a flagship follow-up and a budget-friendly option. It’s possible those plans could change depending on how the YotaPhone 2 is received, but it seems safe to assume that new models are on the way.

Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...
