YotaPhone 2

The YotaPhone 2 is one of the most inventive smartphones ever made — a Russian-designed Android device with a fully touch-sensitive e-ink display on its back, alongside a traditional AMOLED screen on the front. The e-ink display is always on, consuming virtually no power, letting you read notifications, books, maps, and boarding passes without ever waking the main screen. Released in December 2014, it was a massive improvement over the original YotaPhone and received widespread critical praise for actually making dual screens genuinely useful. With Yota Devices now defunct, the YotaPhone 2 stands as the definitive example of a smartphone concept that was ahead of its time and never truly replaced.
