Bigme, the renowned brand specializing in devices with electronic ink screens, has taken a new step in its technological evolution with the announcement of the Bigme HiBreak smartphone. This device brings with it the innovation of an E-Ink screen with the ability to display color content. This type of screen, especially popular in reading devices, is not only ideal for consuming static content such as texts or comics, but also seeks to offer an experience closer to that of traditional smartphone users who value battery life and an eye-friendly screen.
The Bigme HiBreak will not be a simple e-reader with limited functions; in fact, they are two versions of complete smartphones with technical features that vary depending on the option the user chooses. Both models are designed to be a robust option within the range of phones with electronic ink screens.
Why a smartphone is not a good eReader?
Reasons why reading on a smartphone is not optimal for reading eBooks:
- Screen size: Smartphone screens, while getting bigger, are still relatively small compared to those of tablets or e-readers. This can cause eye strain from having to constantly zoom in.
- Resolution: While screen resolution has improved greatly, not all screens offer the same image quality, which can affect the sharpness of text and make reading difficult.
- Automotive Lighting : The light emitted by smartphone screens can cause eye strain and make it difficult to sleep if you read before bed. In addition, ambient light can reflect off the screen and make it difficult to read outdoors.
- Distractions:Smartphones are designed to be communication and entertainment devices, so they are full of notifications and apps that can distract you while you read.

This chipset will provide you with greater performance, accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, as well as coming with the operating system Android 14, which means it will be more up-to-date and prepared to handle the latest demands of apps and features.
Connectivity and networks

However, the manufacturer has not yet cleared up all doubts about the compatibility of these networks, as it has not provided detailed information about the LTE bands that these devices will support. This point is key, as it will determine availability and performance in different regions of the world.
A full-color E-Ink display
