Hisense launches Hi Reader Pro e-ink smartphone in China

Hisense has just launched the Hi Reader Pro, an all-new smartphone with an e-ink display.

The Hi Reader Pro features a 6.1-inch pure e-ink display, which is designed to mimic the look and feel of paper. This is perfect for those who want to read in well-lit or bright environments, without straining their eyes.

The Hi Reader Pro has 36 levels of cold and warm light for its screen and comes with a respectable 300 pixels per inch.

Powering the Hi Reader Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, 4GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage — which is a decent SoC and storage package for the target use case of the Hi Reader Pro.

The Reader Pro will also come with a 4,000 mAh battery, which, with the combination of the e-ink display, can probably guarantee more than a day or more of use without a charge.

The Hisense Hi Reader Pro is now available 17 in China for RMB 1,699 or around Php 13,755USD 234INR 19,870EUR 223CNY 1,707.

As of writing, there has been no word of a Philippines release for the Hi Reader Pro.
