Before the likes of Samsung could put two displays onto one single smartphone, Russian company Yota attempted to do the same as far back as December 2012 with the release of the YotaPhone, a device that had an LCD display as its primary display and an e-ink display on the other side as its secondary display. The device certainly was a new take on what smartphones could achieve, but it only received as much attention as first generation devices from lesser known brands (on the global scale) do. Yota followed up on the dual display concept with the release of the YotaPhone 2, and then the YotaPhone 3 which was as recent as August 2017.
