The Yotaphone 2 Putin gave to Xi Jinping has a built-in Chinese chip technology SlimPort

Beijing, China – Analogix® Semiconductor, a market leader in DisplayPort solutions, announced that the dual-screen YotaPhone 2 presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Chinese President Xi Jinping during the 2014 APEC CEO Summit features Analogix’s SlimPort™ interface solution.

YotaPhone 2 is the world's first dual-screen mobile phone launched by Yota Devices, a Russian smartphone manufacturer. In addition to the conventional LCD screen, it also has an electronic ink screen of the same size on the back of the body. The two screens can operate interactively and will be launched in China in January 2015.

In addition to the important selling point of dual screens, YotaPhone-2 also uses the SlimPort interface chip solution of Chinese chip company Silicon Valley Digital, allowing it to maintain an ultra-thin design while connecting to any high-definition display device such as HDTVs, monitors and projectors through inexpensive cable adapter accessories. Users can browse all mobile phone content through these "big screens", including videos and pictures as well as business media such as PPT presentations and spreadsheets. This configuration undoubtedly meets the expectations of YotaPhone 2's high-end Android mobile phone market positioning.

YotaPhone 2 can be connected to a high-definition display device through a simple Micro USB to HDMI cable accessory. The built-in SlimPort transmitter, combined with the energy-saving Silicon Valley Digital CoolHD™ technology, does not consume the power of the handheld device at all. It can also charge the mobile device during HDTV playback through the Micro USB interface, keeping the device fully charged even after long-term HD content playback. SlimPort is also compatible with the MyDP standard of the VESA organization.

The advantages of the SlimPort interface solution can be simply summarized into the following six aspects:

Use existing mobile USB ports

Just use a standard Micro USB interface and choose a cheap thin cable (up to 5 meters) to provide users with a simple plug-and-play experience.

Connects to any HDTV

Compatible with any generation of HDTVs, it supports up to 1080p 3D video with 7.1 channel audio.

Supports charging function during playback, greatly extending battery life

The patented technology supports the recovery and recycling of power from display devices, continuously charging the battery of portable devices during HD content playback, and allows users to continue using enterprise applications, email, voice dialing and other functions on their phones, keeping mobile devices fully charged at all times.

Fully compatible with existing HDMI1.4a standard and older HDMI standards

Support Hollywood standard content protection

The device is fully compatible with Hollywood standard content protection (HDCP) to protect copyrighted content from unauthorized interception.
