Russian based Yota Devices has been planning a very unique device for quite some time, and it looks like we'll see the device launch before Christmas this year. The YotaPhone features two screens; the first is a traditional LCD touch screen that we're used to on all of our smartphones, but the back screen is a less power-hungry eInk display screen. It's a pretty weird design decision, and I'm not actually sure what all that back screen can do. Obviously it would make a great option for reading books without draining your battery, but I don't think it would see much use beyond that.

The specs are pretty standard, including a dual-core 1.7 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a 720p (front) screen. The battery is pretty small at just 1800 mAh, but maybe if you use that back screen, it'll last a bit longer.

Would any of you be interested in this device if it was available?
