The Dual-Screen Smartphone: Trend Setter or Also-Ran?

Published Tue, Feb 26th, 2013   Wall Street Daily Research

There’s no question that Samsung (BC94) and Apple (AAPL) are the smartphone industry champions.

However, that doesn’t mean smaller players don’t have the opportunity to take mobile devices to the next level. And that’s exactly what Russia-based YotaPhone is trying to do.

The YotaPhone looks almost like a standard smartphone on one side. But flip it over, and it sports an e-ink display on the opposite side. One that uses much less power than the vivid, battery-leeching displays we’re now used to seeing.

It’s a simple concept, to be sure. But it could set a new trend in the handheld device market.
