Siswoo R9 Darkmoon is China's answer to the Yotaphone






































If you have heard about Russia's Yotaphone 2 , then the concept of dual screens is now new , the Yotaphone was well executed and on paper - but its high price and aging hardware , plus its sketchy availability made it fade into the smartphone background ,but now , Siswoo - a Chinese OEM which we haven't heard until today are re-exploring the two sided display format once again with the R9 Darkmoon .The phone at first glance, basically looks a bit like a OnePlus One (many Chinese handsets share the same design front now) , but on its back , its a completely different story as the white E-ink display and the branding makes the rear of the phone look a bit like the front of the device .The main display of the phone is a 5" 1920x1080p IPS display with 401 ppi , there is also a secondary 4.7" E ink display with a resolution of 540x 960 .Powering the Darkmoon - we have a Mediatek MT6752 64bit Octa core chip clocked to 1.7 Ghz , there is also 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage , the battery of the phone is 3000 mAh ,although it is the de facto standard, it supports inductive -wireless charging built in . Cameras on the phone include a 13MP rear facing module with LED flash and a 8MP front facing unit , the phone runs Android 5.0 lollipop out of the box and it supports 4G (which is mostly China based TD-LTE bands) .Pricing and availability of this dual screen phone is still not available , but so far reports indicate that it will be cheaper than its Russian counterpart .

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One.

We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
