Same here, writing from my Bigme HiBreak Pro BW as a daily driver. Love it. I can't use modern screens because of blue light, flickering and dithering.

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

It usually is. But this bigme hi break just looks awful to my eyes. I have a kindle paper white with a front light panel, and the text looks clean and sharp and calming. The hibreak just messes with my eyes within the first minute of looking at it, worse than an OLED phone.

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

There are several elements to consider for screen related eye strain even with eink. It could be PWM, high blue light content, and dithering. For me, I could not tolerate the BigMe HiBreak pro likely due to the high blue light content and dithering method used, yet I could tolerate a Hisense A9 so m

I have eye strain immadietly from SVD 1.0. Not sure why. Maybe FRC? I can only use color eink (it is not perfect at all) as B&W eink give me immadietly eye strain from cold white panel. I can use B&W Bigme HiBreak Pro without any described symptoms only.

I received the device today with great anticipation and was amazed at how huge it is, but I didn’t care about that as long as I could use a proper smartphone again. Unfortunately, after five minutes I started getting headaches. I’m sending the device back and will have to stick with my Bigme HiBreak

I ordered and tested it, and unfortunately, after just five minutes, I started getting a headache. I’ll have to stick with my Bigme HiBreak Pro Color for now. I hope major companies like Samsung and Apple will also make E Ink smartphones, as they at least have decent software. The software from Bigm

SE2022 brainfog? I can only use it for short periods. What's alright for me is HTC M8, which is a really old LCD which regretfully no longer works. I wish they made displays like that again. And my BigMe HiBreak Pro works fine for not getting symptoms, but it's eink so ain't snappy and fast.

The problem is that there aren't really tests that show this. I don't mean to be rude to doctors, but if you bring this up with them they will likely not know what you are talking about and tell you that you just need to blink more. This topic has unfortunately not been studied enough. It is a somet
