Bigme HiBreak Dual 3: 85FPS E-Ink Phone Pre-Orders $629

E-ink phones usually ask you to choose between reading comfort and everyday apps. On September 28, 2026, Gizmochina reported that Bigme opened pre-orders for the HiBreak Dual 3, pairing a color e-ink front with a magnetically detachable rear LCD—and publishing full specs plus a $629 starting price.

Two screens, one removable

The front is a 6.13-inch color e-ink panel: 300 PPI in black-and-white mode and 150 PPI in color, with Bigme claiming an 85FPS refresh peak for this magnetic dual-screen design. The rear module is a 5-inch LCD at 720×1280 for video and conventional Android apps; remove it when you only want the e-ink reader/writer experience. The stylus works on the e-ink side only (4,096 pressure levels).

• Chip / OS: MediaTek Dimensity 8300, Android 16
• Memory: 12GB+256GB or 16GB+512GB; TF card up to 2TB
• Battery: 4,450mAh, up to 30W charging
• Cameras: 50MP rear, 5MP front; separate unlock paths per display
• Connectivity: 5G, dual SIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC
• Size: 159.7 × 79.8 × 9.5 mm

Price context

At $629, Dual 3 undercuts the Dual 2 Kickstarter early-bird of $699 by $70, per Gizmochina. “World’s first 85FPS magnetic dual-screen e-ink phone” is Bigme’s claim—treat it as marketing unless independent verification appears. Dual 2’s rear LCD was fixed; Dual 3’s magnetic module is the practical differentiator for readers who hate carrying a permanent second panel.

Caveats

Carrier lists, regional warranty, and long-term OS update promises are not in the Sep 28 piece. Specs are vendor-reported through Gizmochina. An August teaser lacked price and several dimensions; today’s article fills those gaps.

Who this phone is for

HiBreak Dual 3 is not chasing Galaxy or Pixel camera charts. It targets readers, note-takers, and eye-comfort buyers who still need occasional color video. The detachable LCD is the honesty layer: when you want a normal Android slab for social and streaming, magnet it on; when you want a dedicated e-reader/writer, leave it off and save bulk. Pre-order buyers should still confirm regional LTE/5G bands before paying the $629 deposit.

FAQ

Can you use the phone without the LCD? Yes—Bigme positions the magnetic module as optional for video/social apps.

Does the stylus work on the LCD? No—stylus input is e-ink only per the report.
