Yet one more E Ink smartphone has entered the sect...

Bigme, a notable brand inside the E Ink trade, not too long ago launched an fascinating new product: an E Ink smartphone generally known as the Hibreak Professional. The Shenzhen, China-based firm has outfitted the system with a 6.13-inch HD E Ink show, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of inside storage, and the Mediatek Dimensity 1080 processing bundle.

Different noteworthy specs embrace 5G mobile connectivity, a capacitive fingerprint sensor, 18W charging speeds, a 4,500mAh battery, and a single 20-megapixel rear-facing digital camera.

In comparison with the likes of the Boox Palma 2, which is probably essentially the most well-established E Ink handset available on the market, the Hibreak Professional appears moderately promising. Its processor is extra highly effective than the one discovered within the Palma 2, and Bigme’s SSS Tremendous Refresh expertise supposedly provides auto ghosting removing and a 21fps ‘xRapid refresh algorithm.’

It is unclear whether or not these latter phrases are merely advertising jargon, or if they’re going to translate to a superior real-world expertise in contrast with Ebook’s newest providing. The inclusion of 5G connectivity and dual-Sim help, on the very least, provides the Hibreak Professional a leg up over the Palma 2 from a connectivity standpoint.

The Hibreak Professional is priced at $440 within the US, and is available now for pre-order on Bigme’s official web site.

Conceptually, E Ink smartphones are definitely an intriguing prospect. Slapping a Kindle-like ePaper show onto a handheld-sized cellular system is head-scratching at first, however over time, the idea has began to develop on me.

All of us love the massive and vibrant OLED shows on our modern-day smartphones. Sadly, as screen-on instances proceed to pattern upward, there’s additionally been an uptick in destructive unwanted effects, together with eye pressure, complications, and sleep disturbances.

With the Hibreak, Bigme joins a growing number of E Ink handsets available on the market which declare to place an finish to overstimulation. In the interim, after all, these gadgets stay area of interest product choices from comparatively small-scale producers.

I am curious as to if and when a significant handset participant — maybe Samsung, Honor, or Oppo — would possibly make the leap and supply up an E Ink system of their very own. The advantages of E Ink, combined with the gargantuan advertising and R&D budgets wanted for large-scale market penetration, would possibly simply launch E Ink telephones into the mainstream one among today.
