Hisense has officially introduced the Hisense A10, a new E Ink smartphone that takes a different approach to solving one of the biggest limitations of paper-like displays. Instead of permanently integrating a secondary color screen, the company has designed a magnetic detachable LCD display that users can attach only when they need it.
The Hisense A10 is an E Ink smartphone featuring a 6.13-inch monochrome display designed for reading, studying, note-taking and other tasks where eye comfort and battery life are priorities. When users want to browse photos, watch videos or use apps that benefit from color, they can simply attach the optional LCD panel to the back of the device.
This modular design addresses one of the biggest drawbacks of previous dual-screen concepts. Traditional E Ink phones with permanently attached secondary displays tend to be thicker and heavier, while the A10 allows users to leave the color screen at home if they only plan to read books, articles or documents throughout the day.
The Hisense A10 also appears to be one of the most capable E Ink phones announced so far. According to early information, it features an 8-core 4nm processor, runs Android 16, and includes a dual rear camera setup alongside a selfie camera. Complete camera specifications have not yet been revealed by the company.
Hisense has been one of the few manufacturers consistently investing in E Ink smartphones over the past several years, and the A10 represents another attempt to make the category more practical for everyday use. While previous devices such as the YotaPhone combined E Ink and OLED displays in a single chassis, and newer competitors like the Bigme HiBreak 2 also explored dual-screen concepts, Hisense’s detachable solution offers greater flexibility while avoiding the bulk of carrying two displays all the time.
The phone is expected to retail for around $590, positioning it as a niche premium device aimed at readers, students and productivity-focused users rather than mainstream smartphone buyers.
