YotaPhone 2 heading to the U.S. this spring by way of Indiegogo

The YotaPhone 2 is not currently available in the U.S. but that looks to be changing very soon.

YotaPhone's Michael Kelly has said that the device will be available in the U.S. this spring via crowd-funding site Indiegogo.

The YotaPhone 2 features a unique dual-display, with a standard LCD up front and a power-saving e-ink display on the back. The phone is compatible with both AT&T and T-Mobile and will sell for somewhere around $600. The company said it hopes to have Android 5.0 ready to go when the phone ships in the U.S. as well, and that a white version is on the way later this summer.

If you're interested in picking one up, you'll be able to do so when the campaign kicks off. Expect there to be some incentives along with it, and probably a decent wait time as well. After launch, YotaPhone plans to expand sales to retail channels like Best Buy as well.

I have a feeling this phone will do well. The 801 is a badass chip and with the size of the phone being in the sweet spot for many...could be pretty great. That rear screen is a great bonus too!

This kind of foot-dragging strategy will probably keep it unavailable until fall or winter. A real shame.

Well I'm relieved that it'll be working on T-mobile, but "compatible with" to me means that it won't support any of the tmobile goodies like wifi calling, which happens to be a necessity for me since I live in an area with poor signal. I'm dying to get my hands on this phone though...we'll have to see how this plays out.
