The company's first-generation device has just launched, but it's already looking to the future. December 4, 2013 7:05 AM PST Yota, the mobile company that has set the smartphone world ablaze with its dual-screen YotaPhone, already has its sights set on a second-generation device. Speaking to Pocket-lint in an interview published on Wednesday, Yota Devices chief Vlad Martynov said that his company plans on launching the second-generation YotaPhone in late 2014. Martynov didn't provide details on the second-generation handset. Martynov was similarly forthcoming in an interview with CNET. During that discussion, Martynov said that his company is already "working very hard on the second" YotaPhone, adding that plans are already in place for a third-generation option. It's expected that the future iterations will have a broader footprint internationally than Yota's current handset. The original YotaPhone is launching this week in Russia for a starting price of $678. The Android-based handset boasts two displays -- a 4.3-inch LCD on one side and an e-ink screen on the other.
