YotaPhone 2: A Smartphone With A Secondary E-Ink Screen, Hands-On

The YotaPhone 2 has a dual-screen personality: energetic and colorful when facing you, but passive and gray when its back is turned. Is the secondary e-ink screen just a gimmick, or does it actually improve the smartphone experience?

I would really like to see a full touch matrix on the back screen. Of course the software would have to be well designed to not accidentally mess something up. But as it is, it seems too static

e-ink secondary display, and dual camera on the same side, is what I have always wanted. One is out, and one needs more push as the dual cameras are typically separated by 2-3 centimeters instead of typical eye distance. 3D may be not at top quality at this stage of technology, but, without needing to display those photos and videos in stereo on the phone itself, just store them, as that is indoubtly the future, holographics or direct nerve stimulation or whatever, why not snap a stereo photo instead of a regular?
Yes, I understand, dual display and dual camera are extra costs, which the mainstream phones won't need, but there could be exceptions, such as Yota phone.
