The Cherry Mobile Taiji will be priced at PHP12,990 and has the following specs:

5.2" FHD IPS display (1920 x 1080) with Corning Gorilla Glass protection
4.7" qHD e-ink back display (960 x 540)
1.8 GHz MediaTek MT6752 octa-core processor, 64-bit
Mali T760MP2 GPU
32GB ROM, 3GB RAM
up to 64GB microSD card support
13MP AF rear camera w/ LED flash, 8MP front camera
WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS 
micro-USB 2.0, bluetooth v.4.0
IR blaster
sensors: accelerometer, proximity, light, gyro, magnetic
hybrid dual sim with LTE support
2,480 mAh non-removable battery
Android 5.1 Lollipop

Cherry Mobile Taiji's e-ink back display would be perfect for those who love to read on their phones for long hours, without hurting their eyes. Plus, the e-ink display consumes very low energy, enabling you to save some battery juice, considering Taiji's quite underpowered. 

There's only one phone I can think of that can go head to head with Taiji and that's the Yotaphone, which also has an e-ink display on its back. I'm also wondering what e-ink technology they have implemented on Taiji. We have yet to see how it performs.
