Bigme has launched a brand new smartphone referred to as the Bigme Hibreak, and it includes a 5.84″ colour E Ink display screen and it runs Android 11.
It’s out there to order from Bigme’s Amazon retailer for $329 (there are two equivalent listings for some purpose), however there’s presently a coupon that takes $50 off, making the worth $279. Transport continues to be just a few weeks out however they’re accepting orders now.
The Amazon itemizing is missing in particulars so I checked Bigme’s web site for extra info. Additionally they promote a model with a black and white E Ink display screen, but it surely’s not listed on Amazon but.
The Hibreak is principally Bigme’s reply to the Onyx Boox Palma, besides the Hibreak can be utilized as a telephone as a substitute of simply wanting like one.
It runs Android 11 and comes with Google Play preloaded to put in apps. At this level that’s a reasonably previous model of Android—I’ve a telephone that’s 6 years previous with Android 12—however E Ink gadgets all the time appear to make use of older variations of Android for some purpose.
One bizarre factor in regards to the colour model is that they by no means say it makes use of a Kaleido 3 display screen anyplace, which is E Ink’s newest colour display screen know-how. In truth, the colour decision is listed as one third (91.9 ppi) the black and white decision (275 ppi), which is what the older Kaleido screens had as a substitute of half just like the newer ones (that are 150 ppi normally), so it might seem they’re utilizing an older model of colour E Ink with decrease decision.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see folks have any curiosity in E Ink telephones. Just a few corporations have launched E Ink telephones through the years however they’ve by no means actually caught on. The Boox Plama appears fairly well-liked, although, regardless of not being an precise telephone.
