E ink phone with USA cell support? | Bigme Hibreak

[@eink-reviews]

B2 LTE is supported, which works on most networks, but is still only a single band. Good luck getting good data speeds indoors a Costco or other thick walled building, though calls should work fine.

Really hoping an e-ink phone comes to the US and works well. I'm also watching the Minimal phone that is entering it's prototype phase after getting funding. Looking forward to watching some videos on your channel to learn more about how these current phones work in the US, if at all.

Thanks for watching! Hopefully Bigme delivers on their promise for good Mint Mobile / Tmobile support. Be sure to check out my Mint mobile review in the description, it’s still very relevant. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fom0amWOZ8yfipI

The bands were released for the lower end version, same as the Hisense A9 for the USA, so not good.

Bigme has announced the Android 11 versions coming soon, Android 14 versions coming in Q4. The supported bands look similar to the Hisense A9, meaning it won't work that well in USA. Check my Mint Mobile Review for details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fom0amWOZ8yfipI

The official announcement has them just supporting bands B1 B2 B3 B5 B7 B8 B20 B28 B34 B38 B39 B40 B41, so nothing useful to the USA at all.

B2 and b41 might work on Tmobile based carriers like mint. But it still won’t be great, no extended range bands like b12/b71. My mint mobile review has more details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fom0amWOZ8yfipI

looks like b2 LTE is supported, which works on most networks. Saw user reports on reddit on r/eink and r/Bigme
