In December 2020, HiSense, the company known for making TVs, announced the A7 5G smartphone as the world’s first smartphone featuring an e-ink display with 5G connectivity support, and just a few days ago, the company started taking pre-orders for the A7 CC — a variant which features a color screen.

Now, the HiSense A7 5G is officially available for purchase in the Chinese market, for a price of 2,399 yuan which roughly converts to $371. The phone is similar to the A7 5G except that it comes with a color e-ink screen instead of a monochrome panel.

It features a 6.7-inch E-ink display but with an RGB pixel arrangement but with a pixel density of just 100 pixels per inch. Under the hood, the device is powered by a UNISOC Tiger T7510 chipset with support for 5G connectivity. This silicon is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack with AK4377AECB audio DAC for Hi-Res Audio, single front and rear cameras, fingerprint sensor, an additional programmable key on the left side, super-linear speaker, different lock screens, several tweaks related to the E-ink display, and a refined UI based on Android 10.

There’s a single rear-facing camera with an LED flash on the back. It also comes with a front-facing camera with support for AI face unlock. The device is backed by a 4,770mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

Back in December 2020, Hisense, a well-known TV manufacturer launched Hisense A7 5G as the world’s first E-ink display smartphone with 5G connectivity in its home country China. Now, a month later, the company is taking pre-orders for the color screen version of this handset called Hisense A7 CC.

The new Hisense A7 CC is similar to the regular Hisense A7 5G, except that it comes with a colored E-ink display instead of a monochrome panel. Hence, it is priced a bit more at ¥2,399 ($371) instead of ¥1,999 ($309).

Talking about the dissimilarities first, the Hisense A7 CC flaunts a similar-sized 6.7-inch E-ink display but with an RGB pixel arrangement. Also, the PPI (pixels per inch) drops from 300 to 100 on this model.

Apart from the differences in display, the A7 CC is nothing but an A7 5G inside out. In other words, it can be considered as the true successor to the Hisense A5 Pro CC from early 2020.

Under the hood, it features a UNISOC Tiger T7510 chipset with support for 5G connectivity. This silicon is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack with AK4377AECB audio DAC for Hi-Res Audio, single front and rear cameras, fingerprint sensor, an additional programmable key on the left side, dynamic and constant refresh rate support, super-linear speaker, different lockscreens, several tweaks related to the E-ink display, and a refined UI based on Android 10.

Last but not least, the Hisense A7 CC is backed by a 4,770mAh with support for 18W fast charging and comes in two colors (Obsidian Black, Moonlight Silver).
