Summary
$574 HiBreak Dual 2 combines a 6.13-inch color E Ink front screen with a 5-inch rear LCD, aiming to remove the usual trade-off between paper-like reading and full smartphone use.
Android 16, a Dimensity 8300 chip, 12GB of RAM, 5G, NFC, Google Play and a 50MP camera give the device mainstream phone specs, while the LCD handles tasks E Ink struggles with like maps, video calls and fast motion.
That shifts the category's compromise from capability to design preference, with Bigme adding complexity through a two-screen setup and optional stylus rather than limiting apps or performance.
Rivals now look more niche: Minimal Phone starts at $499 with Android 14 and a QWERTY keyboard, while Mudita Kompakt and Light Phone III lean into stripped-down, distraction-light designs instead of full functionality.
