Well it’s not every day that we get news coming out of Russia, but today we have discovered a video of some sort of new prototype phone in development with a screen on both the front and the back. At first, I’m not sure just how much I understand the concept, but after some thought, I could actually see this being rather useful until a more elegant solution arises. From the looks of it, it appears that one side is a standard screen while the back side houses an e-ink the display which would provide direct sunlight readability while only sipping on the battery. No legitimate information is known about the device beyond that it is to run Android and isn’t expected before May 2011 or even outside of Russia for that matter. The video of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev handling the device is below.
