The YotaPhone, an Android phone with two screens, is set for an international launch in December.
The Russian maker of the phone, Yota Devices, told TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/13/the-split-personality-yotaphone-will-launch-internationally-in-december/) that the device, which has spent years in development, would see a worldwide launch ‘before Christmas’, following a partnership with manufacturer Hi-P earlier this year.
The YotaPhone, which hasn’t received a pricetag yet, features a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and a 1800mAh battery. It will run on Android 4.2 ‘Jelly Bean’.
What makes the phone stand out, however, is its Janus-like design – on the front of the phone is a 4.3-inch 720p colour touchscreen, which is supplemented by another 4.3-inch grayscale e-ink touchscreen on the back.
The low-power electronic paper display is designed to be used for important information – with details able to be displayed even after the battery for the handset dies. It can also be used to display messages and notifications for easy viewing.
