E-ink is great. It’s easy to read, doesn’t drain your battery and looks like real paper (sort of). Having more than one phone screen is also great. The new Hisense A10 fits both of these bills, which is why it piqued my interest.
Hisense — a Chinese company known for consumer electronics, especially TVs and appliances — officially announced the A10 on Monday. As published by reputable insiders Experience more On Weibo, the phone’s main display uses e-ink, and also has a detachable color LCD display on the back. Hisense had teased the A10 last month.
Initially available in China At around $600, it’s not clear when it might hit US markets. Jagadjit said US buyers may have to go through AliExpress, eBay, or other specialized merchants.
The insider said that the detachable magnetic screen may not be included with the phone and will be sold separately. It can be similar to FAMFO screen Which can be connected to iPhone and Android phones.
The A10 can offer customers a great deal of flexibility. They can just take their main E Ink phone with them for simple calls and texting, and keep battery life strong, or they can connect a second screen for videos, games, or other apps that need color and graphics. Hisense did not specify how the two displays communicate data.
In terms of specifications, Experience more he said The main screen of the A10 is 6.13 inches and is a black and white e-ink display. With the Android 16 operating system, the phone runs on 5G technology and uses a 4nm octa-core Qualcomm chip, which is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
A Hisense representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Drawn towards e-ink
I’m impressed by Hisense’s unique twist on the “more screens, the better” trend. Foldable Take center stage and Apple Ultra or Fold It will likely debut this fall. But I’m more interested in pairing the second screen with the main E Ink screen.
E Ink phones are a small market that is gaining significant traction. By replacing harsh, glarey screens with paper-like displays, they eliminate glare, reduce eye strain and dramatically enhance battery life. The main trade-off is that it’s not designed for swiping or watching videos. But for fans, distraction-free simplicity is the main attraction.
I used an Amazon Kindle and a Kobo e-reader — two CNET devices Most Reviewed Brands – It’s amazing how easy it is to read books about them. With glare-free displays and a matte finish, they look like real paper. I like the combination of simplicity of the E Ink phone and the versatility of video and apps.
Tech Lab Austin Evans, which has nearly 6 million subscribers His YouTube channelHe said the Hisense A10 provides a great return to a simpler phone experience without sacrificing useful apps.
Although most of us know we spend a lot of time on our devices, going back to a flip phone means losing access to convenience and social connection, Evans told CNET.
“The E Ink phone is generally compatible with the apps you rely on, but the screen quality and refresh rate are too limited to scroll for long.” In other words, the E Ink phone can give us the functionality of a smartphone without the addictive nature of a smartphone.
