Bigme has introduced the Hibreak Dual 2, a dual-screen smartphone that combines a 6.13-inch color e-ink display with a 5-inch LCD panel. This unique hardware configuration offers a distinct reading and interaction experience for users who prefer e-ink for long-form content while maintaining a standard LCD for other tasks. The device targets readers and professionals who want to reduce eye strain without sacrificing the versatility of a traditional touchscreen interface.
Kickstarter funding expected for dual-screen device with stylus input
The smartphone runs on Android 16 and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor. This hardware choice provides the computational power needed to drive the dual-display setup smoothly. The device also supports stylus input, allowing for precise note-taking and drawing on the e-ink screen. Bigme has confirmed these core specifications, though they have not yet released exhaustive technical details about the internal components.
Specifications
- Display: 6.13-inch color e-ink and 5-inch LCD
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8300
- Operating System: Android 16
- Input: Stylus support
The primary feature of the Hibreak Dual 2 is its dual-screen architecture. The larger 6.13-inch e-ink panel serves as the main display for reading and writing, while the 5-inch LCD acts as a secondary or functional screen. This layout allows users to keep the e-ink display active for documents while using the LCD for navigation or media. The stylus support is integrated into this workflow, enabling digital annotation on the e-ink surface.
Bigme plans to fund the production of the Hibreak Dual 2 through a Kickstarter campaign. An eventual launch on Amazon is also plausible, though the primary funding route remains the crowdfunding platform. The device is expected to launch globally, but the exact release date is still to be determined. Buyers interested in this specific dual-screen configuration will need to wait for the crowdfunding campaign to begin before they can place an order.
