Bigme E-Ink Screen Mobile HiBreak, 6G+128GB Android 11 Smartphone, 36-Level Front Light, 3300mAh Battery, 5+13MP Camera - Black and White

When my wife saw what I was trading my Pixel 8 Pro in for she thought I was looney. I guess it does look that way, but this phone is exactly what I want. No more doom scrolling, no more social media, no distractions. This is a true minimalist phone. It works as a phone. Imagine that! lol But it actually works much better than I thought it would. I have Mint Mobile as my carrier and it works fine for this phone. I gave my wife a call after I set it up and she said I sounded really clear even before I told her I was using the new phone, and she sounded clear to me too, so pretty good. All I really want from this phone is the reading app (kindle) and a note app and similar things. The Kindle app works really good on here and is really nice to read on with the e ink screen. I'm very happy with this phone. But if you are a person that likes all the bells and whistles, this may not be the phone for you. For me it's perfect in its simplicity.

I wanted to love this phone to breast my phone addiction. I was excited when I first started using it because it was working great and doing the job. But after 2 months the phone is not working regularly. It will not call out sometimes and regularly does not ring when someone calls. I am missing texts as well and it regularly does not let me send texts. So frustrating. I had to go back to my iPhone which is highly frustrating.

It’s a nice, well-built phone, and has great battery life for Android. Unfortunately, it has a couple drawbacks:- no headphone jack- no biometric authentication- incompatibility with some appsThe only thing preventing me from moving to this phone full time is that my work 2FA app is incompatible. I suspect this is due to the lack of biometrics, but Google Play doesn’t specify the reason, so it could be some other missing hardware or software feature. If you have something similar that you need run on your phone for work, bear in mind that it may not be supported. If you don’t need any specific apps like that, everything else I’ve thrown at it has worked smoothly.

If you want an e-ink phone this seems to be about the best option.Works as intended, with a few UI quirks. Had to ask AI how to set it up for T-Mobile - went into the settings and removed the advanced calling features, that did the trick.

Not the easiest phone to set-up, be sure to check if the cellular bands are supported by your provider. Works with visible for me (Verizon's network).Phone is great if you want to spend less time on your phone! The e-ink screen makes it pretty much terrible for anything besides reading, but that's the point. It has google play support, and they are working on android auto.If you have issues setting it up they respond quickly via whatsapp.For less than $300 it does its job very well.
