Title: Yotaphone says bye-bye to Android, switches to Sailfish

Update: there's a denial, which in turn is also being questioned. Conclusion:
nope, not happening. Russian manufacturer Yota, well known for its Yotaphone
dual screen phones, has announced that its next devices will no longer operate
using Android but Sailfish, an alternative developed by former Nokia engineers
at Jolla. Interesting, if not a bit of an odd decision. One has to wonder what
prompted this decision, because even though I like Sailfish for what it
represents, it's far from a true alternative to Android or iOS. Maybe Yota
knows something about Sailfish 2.0 we don't? I'm intrigued.

06.18.17 

'YotaPhone 3' isn't the dual-screen powerhouse you were expecting

The struggling company will only be using a mid-range processor this
time.

Sounds like a death spiral, then.  Either come out guns blazing with
something compelling and market-changing, or stay home, I guess.

My thought exactly. Time will tell I guess.
