Chinese maker Bigme has lifted the veil on its upcoming HiBreak Dual, a smartphone that pairs a color E Ink panel with a conventional LCD. The teaser, posted on the company’s website, invites visitors to leave an email for a full reveal in the next few days. Both displays run Android, giving users full Google Play access on an eye‑friendly secondary screen.

Bigme’s claim of the “world’s first dual‑screen E Ink smartphone” hinges on a likely transparent LCD over the color E Ink, sharing a single backlight. Earlier attempts like YotaPhone placed E Ink on the back, while the HiBreak Pro Color recently hit a 42 Hz refresh, the fastest consumer E Ink rate to date. That speed narrows the gap with LCDs for video and scrolling.

Pricing and hardware specs remain under wraps, but Bigme’s mid‑range pedigree suggests modest processors and cameras rather than flagship performance. If the dual‑screen design delivers the promised battery gains and readability, it could finally give E Ink phones a practical niche beyond e‑readers. The HiBreak Dual may become the first Android handset where an E Ink screen is a daily productivity tool.
