Russia-based Yota Devices has been working on a curious beast called the YotaPhone for years now, and it’s gained quite a reputation for itself because of its split personality. While the front of the phone sports a traditional LCD screen, the back plays home to a power-sipping eInk display because… well, why not?

The launch date was one of the last big questions left unanswered, but that’s no longer the case. The company has just confirmed that the YotaPhone will launch internationally before Christmas.

Reports claimed that the YotaPhone would ship with a €500 price tag attached to it, but so far company representatives have remained mum when it came to cost.

The spec sheet is looking a bit long with the final production model going to feature:

1. A dual-core 1.7GHz chipset,
2. 2GB of RAM, a 4.3-inch 720p screen upfront,
3. and a seemingly paltry 1800mAh battery

The big question is whether or not the gimmicky second screen will be enough to tempt potential customers away from more prominent rivals like Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, and more.
