The YotaPhone 2 is a battery efficient alternative to more traditional smartphones with their bright screens. It boasts an electronic paper display much like that used for e-readers to not only save power, but to also make interacting with it much easier on the eyes. Although the YotaPhone 2 is very similar to its [predecessor](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yotaphone-dual-screen-smartphones) with its dual screens, its secondary display is much more energy efficient.

Set to go on sale in London, England, at a pop-up shop, the YotaPhone 2 also features "a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 2500mAh battery, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera," reports [The Verge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-verge-sony-giveaway). Unfortunately, there is no word on whether or not the YotaPhone 2 will be coming to America in the near future. It is a creative concept.
