This is more of an aesthetics & functionality answer than a best-business-practices one (though I would also like to see more companies with Fairphone-esc business practices of course), but I've been really fixated on this same question lately and this is the answer I've been gravitating toward: Har

The Palma 2 Pro feels more polished and reading-oriented with a color screen and stylus support, while the HiBreak Pro line is more versatile as a phone plus reader hybrid. If reading and annotations are your priority, Palma 2 Pro edges ahead. If you want full daily-phone capability in an E Ink devi

Talk and text are hit or miss for me even after the update. Data has been mostly reliable. I'd be wary if you are getting it if you absolutely need SMS and phone calling as essentials. The phone and quality of the color are one of the best I've used, and eye strain is minimal so I am reluctantly usi

I also was unaware on differences between B&W eink dispkays before I bought Dasung 25,4". I replaced for Bigme colour e-ink with other reddit user. Colour e-ink have less bright white for my sensitive eyes. Regarding HiBreak pro - it is as it is. I dont really care if it works. My eyes thanks me, an

BigMe HiBreak Pro colour is rumoured to be coming around Christmas (non pro version already out). That's an e-ink phone (as in it's that form factor and can take a sim card). Bigme get justified stick for some of their tablet software but the current (b&w) HiBreak Pro was generally well received.

I also have ADHD. I use at work the Bigme Wink color B251 25.3 inchs monitor -- big difference for my eyes!! I also love this Bigme Hi Break color, the refresh rate is not so bad.

It might be not that niche one day since smartphones with color E-ink are showing up. Battery life up to 1 week in Bigme HiBreak Pro Color is interesting & you can have your maps & all other android apps with you. I don't need super sharp oled screen for my maps. It might out-of-the-box solution for

Hey! I looked into your idea and the best match is the Bigme HiBreak Pro (Color) — it’s a colour e-ink phone that runs Android, so you can scroll through inspiration photos and use a gallery app without losing that minimalist, designy look. The black-and-white HiBreak Pro is even smoother if you don

Thanks for sharing your experience! I am using Hisense A5 which is black and white and it's ok for me. I think the color ones could be better than that. And I'm expecting Bigme HiBreak Color PRO, hope it would be better than the non-pro version.

Luckily we have BigMe HiBreak Pro as a decent performing smartphone with an e-ink screen (as long as you are ok with B/W display; which is actually better than Kaleido colour if you want to keep the light low/off).
