Russian company Yota has launched world's first dual screen phone in Russia and parts of Europe and the Middle East. Company plan to sell the phone in 20 countries next year.
This new handest of Yota is assembled in China from components made in Japan and Taiwan. It features a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) screen on one side and an electronic paper display designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper, which is always switched on.
Company's Chief Executive Vlad Martynov said pointing at the smartphone's front screen."It's a new type of gadget. With smartphones it's always one problem - its display is always black, it always sleeps, which we think is fundamentally wrong," The electronic paper screen can stream social media, text messages, maps, weather and breaking news.
