Last year, the world saw the release of the YotaPhone – a Russian phone with an extra e-ink display on its back, that would give you twice the battery life. Sadly though, the first model was not as refined as the smartphones of the international market. The phone was lagging in terms of specs and the e-ink display was not fully functional either.

But the new YotaPhone 2 is Yota Device’s way of saying that they are not giving up on their smartphone. The phone comes with a 5-inch, 1080p display and features a full touch-enabled e-ink display this time. The e-ink display lets you customize your phone without having to add a bulky case and also gives you important updates that you desire. The e-ink display is a 4.7-inch, 540×960 pixel screen with more capabilities than it’s predecessor.

The e-ink display looks just like ink on paper and is a lot sharper than you would expect. The phone will run Android 4.4 KitKat and there will even be some modified apps meant specifically for the rear display. The phone’s e-ink display will always remain on and display the wallpaper, notifications, weather and other app data which will supposedly save battery life. The phone will also support 4G connectivity.
