screen phone has color E Ink on one side, LCD on the other

Key Points:

• Bigme is launching the HiBreak Dual, a dual-screen smartphone featuring a color E Ink display on one side and an LCD screen on the other, offering users a choice between low-power, high-contrast viewing and richer color with higher refresh rates.
• This device is touted as the world’s first dual-screen smartphone combining color E Ink and LCD, distinguishing it from previous dual-screen phones that used only greyscale E Ink displays.
• The E Ink side provides a paper-like, low-power reading experience with wide viewing angles and static image retention even when the phone is off, while the LCD side supports activities requiring higher refresh rates and full color.
• Color E Ink technology, such as the Kaleido 3 display, is limited to 4096 colors and has lower pixel density and muted visuals compared to LCD or OLED, making it less suitable for video and gaming.
• Details about the phone’s specifications, including size, processor, memory, storage, and Android version, remain undisclosed, and the device’s success will depend on hardware performance and software optimization to meet user expectations.
