It’s been just two months since Bigme launched the HiBreak Dual 2. Surprisingly, though, the successor is already here. Bigme today unveiled the HiBreak Dual 3, its next magnetic dual-screen e-ink phone, just months after the Dual 2 hit Kickstarter. The company hasn’t given a firm release date yet, only saying the phone will launch “soon.”

Bigme HiBreak Dual 3 Specifications

The Dual 3 follows the same formula of an E Ink display on the front and a color screen on the back, but the latter is detachable this time. The Dual 2 has a built-in 5-inch color screen that stays fixed in place, whether you like it or not. 

The E Ink screen now has an 85Hz refresh rate, up from 80Hz on the previous model. The company hasn’t mentioned the screen sizes of either the front or rear display.

Another design change is the camera module on the back. It now has the trendy vertical pill shape, which likely houses a camera and an LED.

Bigme HiBreak Dual 3 Specs

Power comes from a Dimensity 8300 octa-core chip, the same processor Bigme used in the Dual 2, and the phone ships with Android 16 out of the box. 5G connectivity carries over too, along with dual SIM dual standby support, so you can keep two numbers active at once. 

Bigme is offering the HiBreak Dual 3 in two memory configurations: 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, or 16GB with 512GB for anyone who wants more headroom. 

If you like to sketch, take notes, or annotate documents, the Dual 3 also supports a 4096-level pressure-sensitive stylus. Bigme says it will share more configuration details later, so pricing and additional specs are still to come.

The Dual 2 set the stage for this launch. Back in June, Bigme introduced it as the world’s first large dual-screen color e-ink phone, pairing a 6.13-inch color e-ink display on the front with a 5-inch LCD panel on the back. It also runs on the same Dimensity 8300 platform, Android 16, and has stylus support, so the Dual 3 looks more like a refinement.
