I think they released a successor the following year, but neither phone sold well enough to keep going. It would be cool as hell if that were more common, though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) YotoPhone.

I just don't know how much I'd use it if it was a non-folding style with front and back screens. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 1 point 2 years ago There's a brand called HiSense doing exactly that.
