Catching up with the latest viral TikToks on your smartphone or getting lost in mobile gaming can be a strain on the eyes. E Ink alternatives are few and far between, and they can be pricey for what you get. Bigme has now launched more budget-friendly options.
A friend used to have a phone case that had an e-ink display and it was great for handling notifications and of course reading webpages and ebooks. Something more integrated (it just mirrored the normal screen in e-ink) could be brilliant.
I’m assuming that the reason the colour screen is lower resolution is the processing power required; the Kobo Clara’s colour version has twice the processing power for the same resolution, but still isn’t as crisp because of the grid necessary for how it works. The article says Bigme has some custom tech, so we’ll have to wait to see what the reviews say about how it looks.
