Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone

Folks choosing the black-and-white HiBreak S will get visuals at 720 x 1,440 pixels (276 ppi), plus the company’s own fast-refresh technology that supports refresh rates of up to 24 frames per second.

Wow, for e-ink that’s pretty good.

Nothing in the article about battery life though. I have to wonder if having a e-ink screen would extend the battery life of a phone noticeably.

There is this paragraph:

Bigme promises that the 3,300-mAh battery will “maintain a charge for a remarkably long time” – though doesn’t actually specify how long that might be. You’ll need to plug in more often if you make use of the 36-level front light when strong ambient light isn’t available.

Vague, but that’s not the author’s fault. Aside from GPS, games are the other thing that uses loads of battery and you won’t be playing many graphically demanding games on that display - but we want numbers!

Brother, did you read the article?

  I skimmed it, but not well apparently.

    We’re all faulted. I forgive you.
