YotaPhone Launches US Crowdfunding Campaign

After first announcing plans to start the campaign to launch its unique Android phone in the US last March, YotaPhone has officially launched its IndieGoGo campaign to secure enough interest in a US version of the YotaPhone 2. The US version of the YotaPhone 2 will be compatible with both T-Mobile and AT&T networks with LTE support.

Early campaign backers can purchase the YotaPhone 2 for a $500 pledge, though the number of handsets available at that price is limited to 100 and the rest of the available stock costs $550, since the pledges include additional accessories and perks, such as a free bumper case and premium access to specific YotaPhone services. Yotaphone said it will ship the YotaPhone 2 to Indiegogo investors in early August, ahead of the planned commercial US launch one month later.
