The back of your phone is useless. There. I said it. Sure, the cameras are back that, but what about all of that blank real estate monopolizing 90% of the surface area? Honestly, it needs to start carry its weight around here. A fully functioning screen isn’t the answer, however. That’s a lot more battery drain, a thicker design, and a much higher price tag – for what, exactly?
The notion of a secondary e-ink screen is not a new one. Yota Phone did that years ago. Ultimately, however, the company declared bankruptcy in 2019, four years after releasing its second device. By then, foldable devices had already been on the market for a couple of years, rendering the innovation as little more than a passing novelty.
The Infinix E-Color Shift improves upon Yota’s phone somewhat, by adding color to the mix. It is not, however, the full low-power secondary display the earlier device promised. Rather, it’s more a fun aesthetic addition to the part of your device that is nearly always covered by a case, your hand, or otherwise face down a table.
