Bigme HiBreak Pro Color is an Android 14 smartphone with 4G LTE and 5G cellular connectivity, and a more unique feature: a 6.13-inch E-Ink color display.
We had seen a few smartphones with E-ink grayscale displays in the past, with products such as the Hisense A5 or YotaPhone 3, but phones with an E-Ink color display are more of a rarity, and the Bigme HiBreak Pro Color adds to the Hisense A7CC. Other key features include a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 octa-core Cortex-A78/A55 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB UFS flash.

Based on the provided photos and video, the colors on the Bigme HiBreak Pro Color look much brighter/vivid than the Hisense A7CC introduced in 2021. That’s probably because it uses a newer Kaleido 3 color e-paper display.
Android 14 supports Google Play, so the E-Ink Color smartphone will act like a normal smartphone, except for users who mostly watch videos or play games, as the slower refresh rate of E-Ink displays is not ideal. It should be greater for people browsing the web, typing emails, reading ebooks, and using the phone outdoors, for example, to follow a route while cycling.
Bigme HiBreak Pro Color smartphone is up for pre-order for $399, with shipping expected by early October. The regular price should be $469 after the pre-order period.
