TL;DR
- Bigme has launched the HiBreak Dual smartphone, which it previously teased as a world-first dual-screen phone.
- The phone has a color E-Ink screen on the front and a tiny, circular LCD panel on the back.
- We expected the phone to offer a full-sized LCD screen on the back.
E-Ink device manufacturer Bigme teased the arrival of a dual-screen phone last week. The firm said it would be the world’s first phone with both a color E-Ink display and an LCD screen. The HiBreak Dual smartphone is now official, and I’m rather disappointed.
When Bigme first revealed that it would launch a dual-screen phone with a color E-Ink display and an LCD screen, I immediately thought that it would have two full-sized screens. After all, devices like the YotaPhone series and Hisense A2 Pro both took this route over a decade ago, featuring a full E-Ink screen on the front and a full-sized LCD panel on the back.
