Yota Devices, a Russian corporation once tied to state-run defense, plans to start selling a dual-screen smartphone powered by Google $GOOGL’s Android software, according to the Wall Street Journal. The phone will have a traditional LCD screen on one side and an electronic-paper display (a technology seen on e-book readers) on the other. “The design will allow users to continuously view all kinds of streaming data in real time—from Twitter $TWTR feeds to stock market tickers—without having to constantly wake their phones up from sleep mode or quickly drain their batteries.”
