Hisense A10 is an E Ink smartphone with a detachable LCD screen on the back

Just days after Bigme launched a crowdfunding campaign for a dual-screen smartphone with an E Ink display on one side and an LCD display on the other, Hisense has introduced a phone with similar features. But there’s one key thing that sets the Hisense A10 apart from the Bigme HiBreak Dual: the LCD display for the […]

The Bigme HiBreak Dual 2 is an upcoming smartphone with two screens. On one side of the phone there’s a 6.13 inch E Ink display, and on the other there’s a 5 inch LCD screen.

With a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, the device should offer the performance of a mid-range smartphone, while letting you use a full-color screen with a high refresh rates for certain activities, and a […]

Bigme HiBreak Dual smartphone with E Ink & LCD screens coming soon

The Bigme HiBreak Dual is an Android smartphone with two screens: one is a paper-like E Ink screen and the other is a full-screen display. But while I initially thought that meant the phone would have two full-sized displays, it turns out I was wrong.

It turns out that the new phone has a full-sized E Ink display on one side… and a small circular LCD display on the other. Why? Good […]

Bigme HiBreak S is a $299 Android 14 smartphone with an E Ink display

There are a growing number of options for folks looking for phone-sized devices with E Ink displays and functionality that blurs the lines between a smartphone and an eReader. While the new Onyx BOOX Palma 2 is almost a phone, thanks to built-in support for mobile data, rival Bigme has been selling actual smartphones with E Ink displays since last year.

The latest addition is the Bigme HiBreak […]

Lilbits: Bigme’s HiBreak E Ink phone (without the phone), India’s mix & match laptop refurbishers, and 104 percent tariffs on Chinese imports

A number of things happened after the Trump administration announced a set of global tariffs last week. Global stock markets have tanked. Some device makers have temporarily paused sales of certain devices or delayed plans to start taking orders of others. And while some countries that have been hit hard by tariffs are trying to arrange meetings with the Trump administration to negotiate […]

The Minimal Phone is now shipping (E Ink phone with a QWERTY keyboard)

The Minimal Phone is a modern phone with a retro aesthetic. Instead of a big color display that covers the whole device, it has a small 4.3 inch black and white E Ink display and a physical QWERTY keyboard that offers tactile feedback when you type.

First introduced last year, the phone’s developers raised over $600,000 through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, and now the company has […]

Bigme HiBreak Pro smartphone has a 6.13 inch E Ink display and Dimensity 1080 processor

The Bigme HiBreak Pro is something of a cross between a smartphone and an eBook reader. It has a 6.13 inch, 824 x 1648 pixel black and white E Ink display with 300 pixels per inch, making the device a sort of pocket-sized eReader sort of like the Onyx BOOX Palma series. But unlike the Palma, the HiBreak Pro is a full-fledged smartphone.

Not only does it run Android, but it features support for 4G and 5G cellular networks. The Bigme HiBreak Pro should be available for purchase soon, and customers who want to “pre-order” can pay $5 now to get $30 off the $439 retail price.

Bigme has launched a number of eBook reader and E Ink tablets in recent years, and earlier in 2024 the company launched the original Bigme HiBreak smartphone which is available with a choice of color or greyscale E Ink displays.

The new HiBreak Pro has a bigger, higher-resolution display, a faster processor, more memory and storage, a bigger battery, faster charging, and a higher-resolution rear camera, among other things. It also runs a newer version of Android.

Bigme has also added support for adjustable color temperature to the front light, allowing you to choose from warm or cool light tones to increase or decrease the amount of blue light that shines on the screen. But so far the company has only introduced a greyscale version of the new phone: there’s no color display option.

It’s also unclear from the product page whether the HiBreak Pro has a microSD card reader or not: the original HiBreak supports removable cards up to 1TB. But with twice as much built-in storage, that may not be a dealbreaker.

While you can use the 20MP rear camera and 5MP front cameras to shoot photos, record videos, or hop on video calls, I still doubt you’ll want to do too many of those things on a phone with a black and white E Ink display. But you can use the rear camera as a sort of document scanner – the HiBreak Photo can use optical character recognition to convert pictures to editable documents. There’s also a text to speech feature for listening to eBooks or other text.

Although not all Android apps play well with E Ink displays, Bigme says the phone ships with the Google Play Store pre-installed. That means you should be able to install and try most Android apps. And Bigme says its “SSS-level super refresh mode” leads to faster screen refresh rates, smoother scrolling and “minimal ghosting” when compared with other E Ink displays.

The Minimal Phone pairs an E Ink screen with a QWERTY keyboard and Android (crowdfunding)

Most modern smartphones have big, colorful touchscreen displays and lack physical keyboards. The Minimal Phone bucks both trends. It takes two very niche features and combines them into a single device: it’s an Android-powered smartphone with a square E Ink display and a QWERTY keyboard.
You can’t actually buy this phone yet, but the […]
