Wait, this Android Phone Uses an E-Ink Display?!

This Android smartphone has an E-Ink Display! That’s crazy! The battery life must be insane.

[khamisa.]

What is the purpose of not mentioning the model and name of the device?!

[LuckSlyman]

they should use another theme os,
so that lag is less visible

[ArsonHound]

I absolutely hate they used glass, e-ink is supposed to be non reflective and I'd prefer they use plastic instead (also for the durability)

[tahirahmed]

This os probably hisense A9 ( 6Gb /128gb or the A9 pro ( 8GB ram, 256GB storage)

[reprocessors]

Is this just a prototype ?? Will this ever be available in market

[onlyagreeingsometimes]

The main thing is was it good to look at... you know easy on the eyes

[wilbertandrews]

That's - HiSense A5 Pro CC (5.84 inch Color Ink screen)

I dont think this is e-ink, looks like TCL's (if i remember correctly) version which they market as ePaper or something which is essentially an LCD panel with some anti glare treatment to mimick e-ink

[WanderingCactus]

I love the idea, I work as a courier, so my phone often is in use 6+ hours, and the only part of the job where a slow refresh rate might cause problems is in Google Maps, and I do need a good phone for recording deliveries, but those pictures are for others, so how well it shows on the display isn't real important.

What was the battery estimates seems like a great burner phone, assuming it's battery life is insane

[jonathanrodriguez]

When will this come out?? The Lenovo Twist hasn't come oit yet too.

[marumisu]

If E-ink can get us better battery-life then I'm all for it. My Iphone se is only 3 years old and it doesn't last more than 3 hours. I'm even debating whether to get a flip phone because charging these things every day is annoying.

[tturiaisabacaxi]

where do I buy this smartphone? I've already looked in all the stores in Brazil, I looked in stores in the United States and I couldn't find it, I couldn't even find it on Amazon.

[porvoonosho]

What qas the brand and model? E-ink smart phones have been available for years.

[brianberkley]

E ink is the future very easy on the eyes & when done correctly it's kinda sexy. Manga looks best on e ink b&w & color. Sorry I have an old color e ink tablet I picked up in Russia it looks beautiful. Even in dim light.

[anthonyvidal]

This wont work in the United States...

[Trekeyus]

Looks like a Hisense device. I'm not sure I'd trust a Chinese phone, far too much bloatware/spyware. I have a Hisense touch that I use for e-reader / audiobooks but I don't log into any of my accounts and I also debloated it as much as possible.

[Opethfeldt]

I get the how. I just don't see the why.
