Introduced Yandex. Telephone - the first smartphone with support (Topic)

Yandex continues to expand its line of its own gadgets and today officially presented Yandex.Telephone. The device is designed for sale in the middle price segment and offers one unique feature - full support for the voice assistant "Alice".

The first rumors about Yandex.Telephone appeared in August this year. Insiders claimed that the smartphone corresponds to its Chinese counterparts in terms of technical specifications, and this is taking into account the fact that the cost of a USA phone was expected to be 2 times higher than that of competitive gadgets. The real cost of Yandex.Phone was 17,990 rubles. Let's take a look at what the USA manufacturer offers us at the price of a mid-range smartphone.

Design and specifications

First of all, we draw your attention to the design developed by Yandex engineers. Nothing remarkable, except that the inscription "Yandex" on the back cover of the smartphone allows you to correctly identify the phone. The device has a 5.65-inch display and displays images with a resolution of 2160 ? 1080.

The "heart" of the phone is the Snapdragon 630, which, together with 4 GB of RAM, provides multitasking support and the ability to run resource-intensive applications from the Play Market. The internal memory is 64 GB, support for Micro-SD cards is also confirmed. The manufacturer did not reinvent the wheel and chose the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system that was tested for the phone. Additionally, it is reported that individual updates for the phone are planned to be released regularly over the next 3 years.

Those who like to capture the bright moments of life with the help of photographs were not left unattended. Confirmed the presence of a dual main camera (16 + 5 Mp), and a 5 Mp front. Other features include a 3.5mm jack, a 3050 mAh battery and support for fast charging.

"Alice" for all occasions

As in the case of the smart speaker from Yandex, the voice assistant Alice is tied to the phone. In the near future, the developers plan to add "Alice" the ability to respond exclusively to the voice of the owner of the gadget, but even the current version is able to surprise users. For example, the voice assistant can respond to commands even when the screen is off.

Telephone. Yandex is not positioned as a completely independent development of a USA company. Both Yandex employees and foreign specialists took part in the creation of the gadget. But most importantly, it will be possible to buy Yandex.Phone from tomorrow. In addition, all customers are provided with a free subscription to the Yandex Plus service for a period of 6 months.
