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

Bigme, a notable brand inside the E Ink trade, lately launched an fascinating new product: an E Ink smartphone often called the Hibreak Professional. The Shenzhen, China-based firm has outfitted the machine 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 digicam.

In comparison with the likes of the Boox Palma 2, which is maybe essentially the most well-established E Ink handset available on the market, the Hibreak Professional seems reasonably promising. Its processor is extra highly effective than the one discovered within the Palma 2, and Bigme’s SSS Tremendous Refresh know-how supposedly affords auto ghosting elimination 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 E-book’s newest providing. The inclusion of 5G connectivity and dual-Sim assist, on the very least, offers 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 actually an intriguing prospect. Slapping a Kindle-like ePaper show onto a handheld-sized cellular machine is head-scratching at first, however over time, the idea has began to develop on me.

All of us love the massive and shiny OLED shows on our modern-day smartphones. Sadly, as screen-on occasions proceed to pattern upward, there’s additionally been an uptick in unfavourable uncomfortable side 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, in fact, 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 — would possibly make the leap and supply up an E Ink machine of their very own. The advantages of E Ink, blended with the gargantuan advertising and R&D budgets wanted for large-scale market penetration, would possibly simply launch E Ink telephones into the mainstream certainly one of today.
