The dual-display YotaPhone

The YotaPhone which was showcased at the 2013 CES in Las Vegas will be available in the second half of this year.

It is a dual-screen (less than 10mm thick) device that's half Android smartphone and half ebook reader. On one side is a standard full-colour screen, but flip the phone and you have an electronic paper display, the kind that is found in e-readers.

I'm not sure if it's my cup of tea, but fiddling with the slab should give an idea.

The YotaPhone screen is Colour on one side and Grey-scale e-reader on another.

The reason for the grey-scale screen? To preserve battery life. Well, we'll just have to see about that.
