hi guys this is ryan bennett for cnet and we are at mobile world congress 2014 taking a first look at the new Yoda phone this is the new model that has been just announced at the show and it is a new and improved device it is a lot thinner than the previous model and if you guys don't know what this is this device on the this side it looks like a regular Android device it's running Android KitKat powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor quad-core it's very fast it's got a five inch full HD AMOLED display very nice but when you turn it around on the other side it has a large 4.7 inch e-ink display now one of the major improvements over the previous model is that this display on back is actually full touch so instead of having to use a strip on the bottom to interact with the display you can now just touch you know the screen and interact with all the elements here as you would a typical or premium ereader and as you can tell it's also very thin and one of the best things is that using the e-ink display not only can you read it outdoors in direct sunlight but also you know impact battery a lot less you're probably going to see about one and a half to almost two times longer run time using the e-ink display you can see all of your text messages your alerts your social media everything right there and you don't have to tax the battery that much at all the company says that it will be available by q4 of this year and hopefully arrive in the US by early 2015 proximate pricing will probably be around for forty nine euros basically a premium price for an unlocked smartphone so there you have it folks you've just taken a first look at the brand new revamped and new and improved yotaphone at mobile world congress 2014 i'm brian bennett
