Dual Displays for Versatile Use
The HiBreak Dual 2 features a 6.13-inch color e-ink screen on the front, ideal for reading, note-taking, and extended screen time without eye strain.
On the back, a 5-inch LCD panel handles everyday tasks like watching videos, browsing apps, and viewing photos in full color.
This marks a major improvement over the original model, which paired its e-ink front with a much smaller 1.85-inch circular LCD.

With the Dual 2, both screens are nearly the same size, offering two full smartphone experiences in one device.
The phone also supports a stylus, allowing users to take notes or sketch directly on the e-ink display, mimicking the feel of writing on paper.
Upgraded Internals and Software
Under the hood, BigMe has upgraded the processor from the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 to the more powerful Dimensity 8300, which also brings 5G connectivity.
