E-Ink brand Bigme is teasing a dual-screen smartphone, featuring both color E-Ink and LCD panels.
This would be the first smartphone to offer both color E-Ink and conventional screens.
It also comes years after the first dual-screen phones with monochrome E-Ink and conventional displays.
Phones with E-Ink displays are great for reading, but bad for video playback and gaming. One solution to this problem emerged in the 2010s, as a couple of manufacturers released dual-screen phones with a monochrome E-Ink screen on one side and a conventional display on the other. Now, a nascent manufacturer is reviving this trend.
E-Ink brand Bigme has teased the arrival of a dual-screen smartphone (h/t: Liliputing). It claims this is the world’s first smartphone with both a color E-Ink display and an LCD screen. The teaser image doesn’t give us a look at the dual-screen setup, but I’m assuming the color E-Ink screen is on one side, while the LCD panel is on the other. Check out the image below.
