Yeah no there's definitely a cool factor. Just a warning for anyone wanting to buy one that regularly listens to new music, especially EDM or new emerging artists in any genre. Half the time you're spending converting random YT videos to mp3s just to listen to it. I recommend an e-ink phone heavily

I've been DD the bigme hibreak pro color for about 5 months. You can still mindlessly scroll, trust me. But, it's slightly less engaging, and more annoying and slower than a normal phone. Anything you want to do takes a little longer. You have to baby it. Based on other reports, It could break at an

The choice is between the rather old Hisense A9 with horrific software out-of-the-box (that can be flashed with better software if you have the expertise) but rock solid hardware; or the Bigme HiBreak Pro which has pretty good software out-of-the-box (even if it feels perpetually in beta) but horrif

Any screen with high brightness effects me. Adding a privacy screen protector does help reduce blue light + brightness (google or chat gpt it). I know about that bigme phone. I wouldn't get the hibreak pro because their screens break easily (do the research, you'll see). I wanted that phone to be th
