\"E-ink<\/a><\/p>\n

E-ink technology\u00a0is making its way into the smartphone market.<\/p>\n

The model which is already on sale is YotaPhone<\/a>, the $800 Android-operated phone with an\u00a0LCD screen on front, and\u00a0e-ink display\u00a0on back.<\/p>\n

The concept of a smartphone from FormNation<\/a> is different. It fully relies on a single e-ink display. The assumption is being made here that the e-ink technology will evolve to a stage where the refresh rate won’t be a limitation in performing typical smartphone screen actions.<\/p>\n

It will eventually happen. Multi-purpose devices are the chance for e-paper, as e-reader market is shrinking.<\/p>\n

E-ink smartphones\u00a0would be better-suited for reading<\/a>. However, this is not the biggest benefit. The biggest benefit is increasing battery life<\/strong>, and preventing the phone from dying a couple of times a day.<\/p>\n

Check out the pictures below. The concept of the FormNation phone looks\u00a0both functional and stylish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
