Hisense unveils an Android 16 phone with an e-ink display and a detachable LCD, the Hisense A10 | Infinium-tech
There are smartphones with e-ink displays and while they’re great for reading, Android wasn’t designed with slow refresh rate speeds in mind. What can be done about it? Well, e-ink panels are becoming increasingly common, but they’re not “there” yet. Therefore, Hisense had an alternative solution in mind.
And so it created the Hisense A10. On the front is a 6.13″ e-ink panel, similar to what you’d find on a Kindle ebook reader. The solution comes in the form of a detachable LCD that you can magnetically snap onto the back of the phone.
Right now, the exact details of this add-on screen are not known. However, we do know that it will be sold separately.
Hisense A10 without LCD and with LCD add-on
The Hisense A10 hasn’t been fully revealed yet, but it’s apparently a 5G phone that runs Android 16. It is powered by an unnamed 4nm Snapdragon chipset.
The Hisense A10 will be priced at CNY 4,000 ($590) (ie without the add-on LCD). However, LCDs can be quite expensive, potentially costing as much as CNY 3,000 ($440).
By the way, Bigmi recently put forward a similar idea – last week it put up a Kickstarter for Bigmi HiBrake Dual 2. It has a 6.13″ e-ink display on one side and an integrated (non-removable) 5″ LCD on the other.
