Chinese smartphone market Unihertz has announced a new entry-level smartphone known as the TickTock-E which features a circular rear-facing secondary display that can be used as a watch face or a smart screen for picking up calls, music control as well as to check for message and email notifications.

Speaking of photography, the phone also has a dual-cam setup at the back comprising of a 48 megapixels camera and a 0.3 megapixels macro camera which will be assisted by a LED flash when shooting in low-light environment.
Under the hood, the Unihertz TickTock-E is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio P35 chipset which will be paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage that can be further expanded via a microSD.
To keep it’s lights on, the phone draws power from a respectable 6,000mAh battery which carries support for 18W fast-charging. Other than that, it’ll also be shipped with Android 12 OS out of the box.
Pricing for the phone is set at just $199.99 and could be purchased via the company’s official site.
