BigMe, a China-based brand specializing in color E-Ink screen products, has introduced a new smartphone called the HiBreak Dual. It’s not trying to compete in the usual flagship race. Instead, the product sits somewhere between e-readers and traditional phones.

BigMe HiBreak Dual Specifications

At first glance, the HiBreak Dual looks like a standard device, but its defining feature is the 6.13-inch color E-Ink display on the front. In monochrome mode, the screen reaches a sharp 300 PPI, while color mode drops to 150 PPI. It also supports stylus input paired with the “Infinity Canvas” feature, allowing for free writing and recording, making the phone more versatile in everyday scenarios.

Flip the phone over, and things get slightly more experimental. There’s a 1.85-inch circular LCD display on the back with a 360 × 360 resolution. You can use this small screen to check notifications, glance at the time or weather, and even use it as a rear viewfinder when taking photos.

The smartphone is powered by the Dimensity 1080, an octa-core processor from 2022. On the software side, the HiBreak Dual ships with Android 14, which clearly isn’t up to date, as Android 17 is nearing launch. Connectivity features include Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, dual SIM support, infrared, and a fingerprint sensor.

As for the battery, the phone packs a 4,500mAh battery and supports 18W charging. These are fairly standard numbers on paper, but paired with an E-Ink display, it could stretch further than typical smartphones in real-world use.

Pricing and Availability

The BigMe HiBreak Dual’s base model, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, is priced at $519, while the 12GB + 256GB version costs $599. There’s also a bundle that includes a stylus and protective case with 8/128GB and 12/256GB variants for $569 and $689, respectively.
