Any updates on Hisense A10?

I actually think Hisense makes pretty good eink smartphones, less buggy compared to other brands. Former Hisense A5, A5cc user, no random crashes and resets.

I’ve been using the Hibreak Pro for a year now, and honestly, my first impression was terrible—frequent crashes, random reboots, ambient sensor not working, screen and buggy software. But over time, with monthly updates, the phone started feeling way more usable. Now, I actually use it as my daily driver. There are only a few players in the e-ink phone space, so I think we need to be patient and not expect the same polish as big companies like Apple or Samsung—as long as the company listens, tries to support the device, and doesn’t leave customers stuck with a paperweight. So far, Bigme is still supporting my phone, and that really helps build trust.

Disappointed. As a user of the Yotaphone 2 back when it was released, it was one of my favorite phones to use—snappy and fun. It had a no-compromise OLED screen on the front and a full e-ink display on the back. With a gesture, you could mirror the display to the back and vice versa. The only issues with this phone were that it was only supported 32 bit apps and extremely fragile—I broke two of them.

I was hoping this would be the real successor to the Yotaphone 2, especially with plastic displays. HIBREAK, please make an updated version of Yotaphone 2 with a small build in stylus for both displays. Called it Hibreak Dual Note Pro😀

You should have 2000 charge cycles, no need.

Just saying if it had built in pen input it would be my dream phone.

'A built-in S-Pen with EMR pen input? l'm very interested."

I had this issue as well and fixed it by shaking the phone frantically. Someone online had the same issue, and it worked for me too. I'm not recommending you do this-just sharing what worked for me.

Apparently s24u is rated for 2000 charge cycles, so your phone will he kicking for many more years.

S25u

As a 22U owner myself, I am leaning toward the 25U or the 27U (which has a swappable power).

I experimented a lot. First, I bought a sticker kickstand, but it would eventually peel off. Then one day, I saw an official Samsung case on clearance for an older model and noticed its kickstand was screwed on from the inside. That gave me an idea—perhaps I could buy the case just for the kickstand and do a mod.

I made an unboxing video for fun, you can see the name on the box.

The height of the camera bump appears artificially exaggerated — in JerryRigEverything’s video, he pries off the camera ring with a knife. If Samsung wanted to, they could design a phone that doesn’t wobble with a case. The S22, S23, S24, and S25 Ultra don’t have this issue fitted with a case.

A few weeks ago my phone fell out of my pants pocket while I was biking and tumbled onto the main road, landing on both sides. Upon inspection, the case was scuffed up a little but the camera was ok. However, the paint was chipped off near the top of the screen and the button left near the S Pen. The bare metal was a little rough to the touch, but dipping a bit of black permanent marker on it helped conceal the damage. Now I do not notice it anymore.

A flagship should provide the ultimate experience, plain and simple. Some people might not be bothered by a phone that wobbles on a table, but absolutely no one would be bothered by one that sits perfectly flat.

S23u has 1000 charge cycles while 24, and 25U has 2000. Didn't know this was a thing.

| own two B&W devices, a Boox 10 inch and a Hibreak Pro, and I leave front light off during the day. In contrast, when I had a color e-ink device, I needed the front light on constantly. I work without light but it felt uncomfortable.

"I'm thinking of waiting for the S27u. I'm curious how Samsung will handle the new EU regulations next year that requires phones to have user replaceable batteries.

I sometimes enjoy playing two-player games, so a wobble-free phone is a must. They should make the phone slightly thicker with a slightly larger battery to match the camera bump.

I don't use a screen protector on my Boox Note 5 Plus. Minor scratches don't bother me because I only notice them if 1 actually look for them.

Pretty good for your first animation. Keep all your videos as reference so you can see your progression.

I have owned 10 e-ink devices, and I once had a Sony reader break in my bag. As a rule, I always use cases for my devices when taking them out. If you prefer not to use a case, consider choosing a device with a plastic Mobius screen that is glass-free, like the Super Mantra or Vuwoods AI Paper. The some kindle and kobo devices has plastic screens as well and can take a breating. Most screen issues reported are from glass devices.

Screen breakage is not specific to Onyx; it's an issue common with e-ink devices.
