The Yotaphone 2, as its known, has one LCD screen similar to that of an iPhone or an Android. On the back, though, the device has a second screen more similar to a Nook or Kindle e-reader. Yotaphone claims this is the first-ever dual screen smartphone. Pre-ordering the phone through Indiegogo will set you back $550\. For the first 48 hours of the campaign, it is discounted to $525\. The phone is eventually expected to retail for $600. Shipments are expected to be start in August. More than $75,000 has already been raised by the campaign through the first six hours after being posted Tuesday. The phone will also have native apps, just like other smartphones. A portable wireless charger is also available from the IndieGoGo page. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3889683/dual-screen-phone-crazy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3889683/dual-screen-phone-crazy/"},"headline":"This Crazy New Phone isn't Like Anything You've Ever Seen","datePublished":"2015-05-19T18:41:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:05:23.362Z","description":"This new phone has an LCD screen and an electronic paper screen","url":"https://time.com/3889683/dual-screen-phone-crazy/","keywords":["Tech","Smartphones","Indiegogo","screens"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb109d4d8b92f5027/698850d6428a9e017accd531/yotaphone.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ben Geier/Fortune","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ben-geierfortune/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb109d4d8b92f5027/698850d6428a9e017accd531/yotaphone.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"yotaphone","caption":"","creditText":"Courtesy of Yotaphone","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3889683/dual-screen-phone-crazy/","name":"This Crazy New Phone isn't Like Anything You've Ever Seen"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The evolution of the iPhone","description":"Since Apple released the iPhone in 2007, there have been 8 versions of the now-iconic smartphone.
