Unlike competing e-ink phones such as the Bigme Hibreak Dual 2, which integrates a fixed secondary screen, the back panel of the A10 is held on by magnets . Snap it on for color apps, videos, comics, and social media. Peel it off, and the phone becomes a slim, lightweight monochrome e-ink device optimized for reading and battery life
.
Key caveat: The color back panel is an optional accessory sold separately. Buyers can choose a single-screen (e-ink only) version . Hisense confirmed this in social media comments, noting that the LCD back screen is a magnetic add-on
.
Display size note: Early June 2026 rumors pointed to a 7-inch Carta 1300 panel , but the official announcement specifies a 6.13-inch display
. The earlier figure appears to be from inaccurate pre-announcement leaks.
The A10 is expected to launch in China at roughly CNY 3,999 (about $590 USD) . As of the announcement window, no official final price or global availability has been confirmed.
According to Hisense, the A10 targets heavy readers, students, people with eye sensitivity, and light-office users . The detachable design is a direct answer to the compromise that has kept e-ink phones niche: you no longer have to choose between a paper-like reading experience and a full-color, app-friendly smartphone.
