Alcatel Dual Display Windows Phone Render From 2011 Has an Interesting Approach

In spite of being published this month, the following Alcatel dual display phone concept actually dates from 2011. At least, that’s according to its designer, Zion Wu, from China. This model

 runs Windows Phone and comes with an original way of integrating two screens.

One of the screens is a LCD and the other one is an E Ink, as the handset saves power. It has a core case, pretty much like a huge bumper case, that allows its front and back to detach and reattach like a big sandwich. They can also rotate, like the hybrid tablets lids. The E Ink portion can also be used to show gaming controls that interact with games on the LCD display.
