The Bigme HiBreak Dual 2 is an advanced dual-screen smartphone that combines a 6.13-inch eye-friendly E-Ink display on the front with a fully functional 5-inch LCD on the back. Officially launched via a crowdfunding campaign on the Bigme HiBreak Dual 2 Kickstarter, this device serves as a heavy-hitting upgrade to its predecessor by replacing the old, tiny notification layout with a large, rectangular rear panel capable of running any standard application seamlessly.
The Dual 2 features a 6.13-inch primary E-Ink screen, which is available in two variants: one with a traditional black and white e-paper display and the other with Kaleido 3. These two models are very appealing to users who want a phone with a higher resolution, BW e-paper, and those who demand color content.
The resolution of the black and white e-paper on the front is 824×1648 with 300 PPI, and the back LCD is 720×1280 with 296 DPI. The Color variant with E INK Kaleido 3 features a front resolution of 412×994 with 150 PPI. You can use this phone day or night via the warm and cool lights with 36 different levels of brightness.
