The manufacturer Hisense plans to launch a new and innovative smartphone at the end of April. This is the first mobile phone with a color electronic ink display in its class. This should make reading on the device easier on the eyes. Hisense smartphone will be the first mobile phone with color electronic ink display in hist ory.

Electronic ink displays have some advantages over traditional LCD or even AMOLED panels. They hardly need any power to display content, and because of the way they are displayed, they are very easy on the eyes. The content and text are displayed almost as they were printed. Although such displays cannot display colors, they have been installed in e-reader models for many years.

However, due to the extremely low refresh rate, it is almost impossible to play videos or games on the device. In addition, previously there were only black and white advertisements. Therefore, the attempt to equip smartphones with electronic ink displays failed at that time. After all, Hisense displays can display up to 4,096 colors simultaneously. However, the frame rate should still be very low.

It is unclear how this operation will proceed. Just like we are used to e-readers, it may be a pressure-sensitive display, but it may also be a capacitive-based display. The speed of response will also be interesting. Hisense promises to significantly increase the refresh rate, but it may not match current LCD or AMOLED displays. Finally, many smartphone manufacturers now use displays that can display 120 frames per second

How many weeks does the battery last?

However, if you only read on your smartphone, or are annoyed by the battery life of less than a day, then the upcoming Hisense mobile phone is likely to get stuck in it. Since mobile phone display screens are the largest battery consumers in smart phones, energy-saving display screens can achieve even several weeks of battery life.

Hisense plans to launch a smartphone with a color electronic ink display on April 23. Whether it will appear in Europe remains to be seen. After all, the device was only demonstrated at CES 2020 in Las Vegas earlier this year, so it is no longer a secret. There are only big question marks about price and other hardware.
