Reviews 01.02.2020 8:22 Hisense A5 First REVIEW: Smartphone or E-reader?

At the end of last year, Hisense introduced a new device called Hisense A5. This is a fairly typical smartphone with standard specifications, but one interesting feature – the large monochrome display. Are you surprised? I am very.

By the way, Hisense produces household appliances and electronics for a long time. It is among the ten largest electronics manufacturers in China.

Hisense A5 looks like a regular budget smartphone with dual 13 MP and 5 MP cameras, Snapdragon 439 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory and 4000mAh battery.

As I said, the main feature is the 5.84-inch monochrome E Ink display. It does not harm the eyes and consumes much less energy than a regular IPS or AMOLED display. Perhaps this is one of the most unusual devices in recent years.

Hisense A5 is E-Reader in Smartphone Case

When the screen off, Hisense A5 looks like a regular budget smartphone. The body of the mobile device is made of matte plastic. The smartphone is available in white or black.

I must say that this is a compact mobile device, so it is much more convenient to use than standard e-reader. Hisense A5 also takes up less space in a bag or backpack. Moreover, you can carry it in your pocket.

The dimensions of Hisense A5 are 15.41 x 7.46 x 0.80 cm and the weight is 158 grams.

On the front panel of the smartphone is a 5.84-inch monochrome display. This is an E-Ink panel with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. The screen is made on the basis of electronic ink.

The aspect ratio is 18:9. In other words, you can not only read books and articles on the screen, but also watch videos, photos or even play games. However, it is important to remember that the display only shows a few gradations of gray.

To use Hisense A5 in the dark, a soft backlight is provided. Also, the display uses a special technology that makes the image on the screen sharper when it is exposed to sunlight.

The manufacturer says that the screen does not harm the eyes, even with constant use.

Hisense A5 has a front camera with a resolution of 5 MP, a speaker and an LED indicator above the display.

On the back there is 13 MP main camera and flashlight. At the bottom is only Hisense logo.

As for the connectors, Hisense A5 is equipped with a slot for a Nano SIM card and MicroSD memory card, 3.5 mm audio jack and a MicroUSB port for charging.
