What makes the back display of the second generation Yotaphone truly amazing to look at and hold is the fact that it is curved and uses very little battery to function.
Some apps have a Put2Back button that sends them to the back screen, otherwise all you need to do is swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers and this gesture will take a static screen shot that gets delivered to the back. The phone allows you to put a custom dashboard on the e-paper display, that will show you social updates and widgets.
