Hisense's New E Ink Phone Has a Detachable Screen That Actually Makes Sense
Hisense has announced the A10, a smartphone featuring a primary E Ink display for reading and a detachable magnetic color LCD screen. The device runs on modern hardware, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and Android 15.
Why it matters
It represents a novel hardware solution to the trade-off between eye-friendly reading displays and the vibrant color screens required for modern media consumption.
E Ink phones aren’t exactly new to the market , and they aren’t exactly popular, either. Most consumers prioritize an ultramodern color screen over one that’s easy on the eyes for long reading purposes. But what if you could actually have both?
Hisense might have just figured out a practical way to make this dream a reality. The company’s new A10 phone, expected to cost around $590, is first and foremost an E Ink device, with a 6.13-inch monochrome paper-like screen on the front. But it also has a removable magnetic color LCD on the back, allowing users to easily switch between E Ink and color screens for easy tasks. And you don’t even have to carry around the second screen if you’re just planning to read on your phone all day.
