Hisense will unveil its latest e-ink smartphone during its scheduled May 11 event. The Hi Reader e-ink smartphone, according to Hisense, is focused on promoting reading in a comfortable and inviting manner. The announcement was made to coincide with World Book Day on April 23. The new Hisense Hi Reader is pretty lightweight and slim. It weighs 177g and has a thickness of 7.5mm.

The glare-free display of e-ink devices means that users can keep reading whether they are outdoors or not. It is a pocket smartphone with a 6.7-inch e-ink display and 300 PPI resolution. The screen-to-body ratio of the new e-ink smartphone is about 84% and the smartphone automatically adjusts to ambient conditions. The glare-free display is an important eye-care feature that provides a soothing experience when reading.

The new device will be powered by an octa-core 1.8GHz Zhanrui T610 chip with a 4GB/64GB RAM/internal storage configuration. The device will feature an Android 10 operating system out of the box and a less-restrictive user interface. The overall UI setting allows for a complete focus on the reading task without worrying about distractive notifications.

There are scant details relating to some other aspects of the device including global availability, pricing, and battery capacity. Some of these details will become available as we inch closer to the scheduled May 11 Hisense event.
