"Phone-like devices that deliberately avoid the addictive qualities of modern smartphones are becoming surprisingly common. From the reMarkable Paper Pro Move to various E Ink readers shaped like phones, manufacturers are recognizing that many people want the connectivity of a smartphone without the constant dopamine hits from social media notifications and bright, attention-grabbing screens. The Bigme Hibreak Pro Color joins this movement with a twist that sets it apart from most alternatives."
"The standout feature is the new Kaleido 3 color E Ink screen, which adds a limited but useful color palette to what was previously a black-and-white display. The colors aren't as vibrant or crisp as you'd see on a traditional phone screen, but they're perfectly adequate for app icons, simple graphics, and reading materials. The trade-off comes with reduced sharpness compared to monochrome E Ink, but the eye comfort benefits remain intact."
The Bigme Hibreak Pro Color runs full Android 14 with Google Play support on an eye-friendly Kaleido 3 color E Ink display, combining smartphone functionality with reduced screen-induced eye strain. The Kaleido 3 adds limited color suitable for app icons, simple graphics, and reading, though with reduced sharpness compared to monochrome E Ink and far less vibrancy than LCD/OLED. The phone retains 4G and 5G cellular support and adds Bluetooth 5.3, enabling calling, texting, and data without a separate handset. The aspect ratio is closer to traditional phones for one-handed use. The device lacks stylus support, differentiating it from note-focused E Ink devices.
