**The World’s First Dual Screen Smartphone! **

Batelco, the Kingdom’s leading communications solutions provider proudly announces the arrival of YotaPhone2 limited edition White version, the first provider in the Kingdom to deliver the much hyped device. YotaPhone devices are available exclusively from Batelco. The new colour scheme doesn’t only impact the shell of the phone, but also the Always On display, which has been inverted to enhance the appearance of apps, notifications and other content.

The limited edition new device was launched at a special event at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on 12^th May when Yota Devices CEO Vladislav Martynov led a presentation for invited guests and media, in the presence of Batelco officials and senior executives from Bin Hindi the official distributer for Yota Devices in Bahrain.

Slim, powerful and beautiful, YotaPhone 2 combines Android familiarity with something that has never been accomplished before: two fully touch-enabled displays with two very different personalities. YotaPhone 2 is lightweight at only 145 grams. It is also very slim (144 x 69.5 mm x 8.9 mm) and, with durable Gorilla Glass 3 on both sides, it is far from fragile. It is a mobile device that is both useful and elegant.

The front display is a high-definition 1080p AMOLED screen that is perfect for everyday use such as social networking, browsing, watching videos or playing games. Turn the phone around and you’ll see the other front Electronic Paper Display (EPD) screen, which uses a Yota Always-On Display that is ideal for e-reading, notifications, outdoor visibility and much more. With the EPD screen nothing is impossible to read in bright sunlight and is perfectly readable even in the brightest sunshine.

With YotaPhone you can easily keep up with important information and notifications without unlocking your phone. Customise your dashboards on the always-on screen with state-of-the-art widgets. Check the markets. Tweet and be tweeted. Check the mail. Mail the cheque. And you’ll scarcely lift a finger!

The latest edition of YotaPhone 2 also incorporates new widgets that are sure to be super popular with users who can now put full-screen Facebook, Twitter and Instagram widgets on the second display, allowing users to follow social activity without having to interact with the phone at all.

YotaPhone measures battery life not in hours but in days. Expect five days’ reading on a single charge, two days’ basic smartphone functions with the YotaEnergy app, so if you forget your charger, it doesn’t matter.

Yota Devices has also launched a new accessory that makes the perfect accompaniment to the YotaPhone2, the Yota Wireless Power Bank which is a portable wireless charger that sits by your bed at night, recharging you phone. It can then be carried during the day providing an extra 4,000mAh of juice in case you need it while on the go.

For the best deals in town, Batelco is offering the new YotaPhone2 White Edition as part of bundled packages with five different options in the line-up. Smart packages include unlimited data and free on-net calls plus a range of additional great benefits specific to each package.

Yota Devices Vice President for Middle East & Africa Abdul Karim Sawan said: “We believe our technology constitutes an entirely new class of mobile device, not just by integrating a power efficient electronic paper display, but by making two screens work in harmony.”

”Bahrain is a key market for Yota Devices’ expansion strategy in the Middle East. We are very pleased with the response to the launch of YotaPhone 2 in March and we believe that the white edition with its unique features and our partnership with Batelco will continue to be a hit in Bahrain,” added Mr. Sawan.
