Dual-screen phones continue to be interesting to the market, and new models keep appearing, trying to carve out a niche for themselves. The latest model we've seen comes from Hisense; it's called the Hisense A2 and can easily be considered an ebook reader and reader for other documents.
The device has not yet been launched on the market, but we do know the hardware and some of the software it will have , something that has not left anyone indifferent, neither eReader users nor smartphone users.
The Hisense A2 will feature a dual-screen setup: a 5,5-inch AMOLED display and a 5,2-inch e-ink display . Both screens will have Full HD resolution and will be able to communicate with each other. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 430 processor clocked at 1,3 GHz, with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.
In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the device will have two cameras: a 16 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. It will all be powered by a 3.000 mAh battery and run Android 6. While not the latest version of Android, it is a recent version that many users still have on their phones.

However, there are important details that haven't been revealed yet. One of them is the price, a crucial factor for many. While Hisense isn't known for selling expensive phones, the Hisense A2 won't be sold for less than €250 , a price that many will consider quite high.
But the most important thing is to know if the phone has enough software to manage the e-ink screen . In the past, this was the Achilles' heel of many phones. Dual-screen devices couldn't run the Kindle app on the e-ink screen or the web browser, so they were useless as readers. This is important to know before buying a phone like this, and it will probably be the next thing we learn about this device, don't you think?
