One more E Ink smartphone has entered the world, a...

Bigme, a notable brand throughout the E Ink trade, just lately 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 inner storage, and the Mediatek Dimensity 1080 processing package deal.

Different noteworthy specs embody 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 maybe probably the most well-established E Ink handset available on the market, the Hibreak Professional seems to be relatively promising. Its processor is extra highly effective than the one discovered within the Palma 2, and Bigme’s SSS Tremendous Refresh expertise supposedly gives 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 will translate to a superior real-world expertise in contrast with Ebook’s newest providing. The inclusion of 5G connectivity and dual-Sim assist, on the very least, provides the Hibreak Professional a leg up over the Palma 2 from a connectivity standpoint.

Conceptually, E Ink smartphones are actually 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 large and shiny OLED shows on our modern-day smartphones. Sadly, as screen-on instances proceed to development upward, there’s additionally been an uptick in unfavourable 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 intervening time, after all, these units stay area of interest product choices from comparatively small-scale producers.

I am curious as to if and when a serious handset participant — maybe Samsung, Honor, or Oppo — may make the leap and provide 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, may simply launch E Ink telephones into the mainstream one among as of late.
