Russia-based smartphone maker Yota Devices had already developed a dual screen smartphone last year called the YotaPhone, and now there's something new to follow up on.

 

In this handset, the main screen uses an LCD panel while the secondary screen features an electronic paper display. Thus following the same technology once again in a refined manner, the Yota Devices today announced the successor to the same device called the YotaPhone 2 at the International Mobile World Congress, 2014 taking place in Barcelona, Spain.
