The Bigme HiBreak Plus is one of the most interesting e-ink phones I’ve tested so far. It brings together a phone-sized colour e-ink display, Android 14, and stylus support in a package that could genuinely replace a few devices in your pocket.

And at amazon: amzn.to/4tRSk48
In this video I test the Bigme HiBreak Plus in real use, look at the pen experience, compare it with the Boox Palma 2 Pro and HiBreak Pro, and work out whether this is actually the best e-ink phone for reading, notes, and everyday carry.
If you enjoy calm tech, e-ink tablets, and tools that help you think more clearly, you’re in the right place.
