Hisense made a phone with a second screen you can literally take off
Hisense’s A10 Ultra combines a conventional color display with a removable E Ink screen, giving users a phone and dedicated reading display in one unusual device.
Hisense has introduced the Hisense A10 Ultra, a smartphone featuring a detachable 4.96-inch E Ink display that can be removed from the device. The E Ink screen is designed for reading and other low-power tasks, while the main 6.13-inch display handles all other functions. The detachable screen uses very little power, making it ideal for tasks such as reading books or documents, and remains readable in direct sunlight.
The main display features a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1300 panel with a resolution of 1,648 x 824 and 300 PPI, and includes a front light with adjustable color and brightness for nighttime reading. The phone also boasts a 4,000mAh battery, wireless charging, and a Qualcomm Q-6690 Dragonwing ARM chip. The A10 Ultra starts at $400 in China, with a more basic A10 Pro model available without the detachable screen for around $420.
The device aims to combine the functionality of a smartphone and an e-reader into one, with the secondary screen being removable when not needed.
