Attention to the chinese YotaPhone 2 . It has problems with Google Store and updates . I bought a model but it isn't from China or HongKong. The Asian model has problems with updating Android Kit Kat . So this is the alerts I write here. Good Luck, My YotaPhone 2 was already with Android Lollipop so I don't have problems with updating or Google Store.

This phone is just like your average Nexus phone apart from the fact that the screen is that of a Samsung's and the rear is also usable just in case the front breaks.
The number of things you can do with the ink display is outstanding, when your phone runs out of juice, it prints your most recent screenshot on the back of the phone. More than a gimmick? Depends how you use it, I use my phone for all sorts of things and having this just saves battery life and some hassle with running apps that turn off when the screen goes off.

AnonD-617648, 06 Dec 2016hi guys incase you want to get the yotaphone don't I got it... moreI disagree, I've had two of these phones (one I broke the e-ink display when I dropped it down a flight of concrete stairs).
I've not had issues with either.
I've recently repaired my broken e-ink screen from a replacement found on Ali Express and it's back working like a champ.

This phone is great I paid it for $ 122 but sadly the front screen was cracked when it fall down while I was taking some pictures but it can still be used and I have upgrade it to the latest version. I have bought a new one with a bumper and glass protector on each screen + a wireless charge. Waiting for the yota 3 now

Android 6.0 beta-testing opened for this phone, so we can expect it to be launched soon. So far guys report it's considerably faster than Android 5, however beta has bugs.
I want to note, however, that chinese/hongkong versions of this phone on "ali" (known as YD-206) still have only Android 4.4 without OTA enabled. However people flash chinese phones themselves to non-chinese firmwares without flashing radio-module, and it works. More on this on xda-developers site.
(To those, who wonder - YD-206s only difference from "original YD-201" version is radio-module. "Original" version supports LTE Bands B3, B7,B20, and YD-206 only supports LTE B1 and B3. Detailed differences available on "frequencycheck" site).

ALL phones bought on the Internet from small stores in China (aliexpress, Gearbest etc) have special fake "retailer" firmware allowing more languages and Google to be added. They don't allow normal OTA updates, you have to flash the official firmware yourself. This is a job only for technical people.
The fake retailer firmware is a source of many problems on Yotaphone 2 and other Chinese phones. Some are badly written with adverts, the flashing by the buyer sometimes is problematic (missing drivers on PC etc)

I and thousands of other yotaphone owners love their sexy, unusual phone. I easily converted it from Chinese to Russian software with no loss of 4G bands. There is a flashing tool with only 2 steps to do this, 1. download ROM and 2. flash ROM.
A few have problems, I read, but I suspect they try to flash using other tools and it goes wrong.

AnonD-617390, 05 Dec 2016Does it support VOLTE and HD voice calls ?hi guys incase you want to get the yotaphone don't I got it and under two months it had issues...and it restrts often ..I went on xda and lots of people had ISSUESSS! from the 14th of December 2016 all service centers around the world would stop fixing yotaphones. Secondly their Customer service is terrible and the phone easily developes problems. the first is you'll lose signal a lot and the second is the edp secondly screen would work partially. as tempting as the phone looks , the stress that comes with it outshine the benefits

I have had this phone for 6 months+. Still love it. I basically live off the back screen and the battery consistently lasts for 2 days. Yota has definitely made a good product.
