Years ago some Russian phone maker became mildly famous for their phone that had a regular LCD screen on the front, and an e-ink screen on the e back. I so wanted one, but I think its supported frequencies had minimal overlap with American ones,

"Yottaphone" or something like that? It seemed really cool for the time, maybe even for now.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm pretty sure the e-ink screen was full usage, too - you could use it as your primary screen if you wanted to, instead of being limited to just an e-reader like this. That would save a lot of battery power if you weren't watching video or playing action games.
