Hisense is commonly known for its televisions. But the company also sells phones in its home country. It has now launched the Hisense A7 5G as the world’s first E-ink display smartphone with 5G connectivity. This handset is priced at ¥ 1,999 (US$ 305) and is exclusive to China.
The Hisense A series of smartphones are
known for E-ink display. Earlier this year, the firm launched the world’s first
color E-ink display smartphones in the form of Hisense A5C, Hisense A5 Pro,
Hisense A5 Pro CC. Although these
handsets come with a new type of display, they lack 5G connectivity. To solve
this issue, the firm has released a new phone called Hisense A7 5G. But the
latest model comes with a 6.7-inch standard black and white E-ink display with
300 ppi.
The device is powered by UNISOC Tiger
T7510 chipset, which is the same chip that’s found inside the Hisense F50 5G
smartphone. This silicon is further paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal
storage. Unlike most phones in the market, this one also includes a 3.5mm
headphone jack along with AK4377AECB audio DAC with support for Hi-Res Audio.
Further, the back of the handset sports an
AG (anti-glare) matte panel housing a single camera accompanied by an LED
flash. The rear also houses a capacitive fingerprint sensor. Whereas, the right side of the device
includes power as well as volume keys, and left side features an AI key, which
can be mapped to perform one of the several actions.
Other features include a front-facing
camera with support for AI face unlock, super-linear speaker, dynamic as well
as constant (688ms, 364ms, 174ms, 136ms) refresh rates, different lockscreens
(poetry, motto, word, wallpaper), new refined UI based on Android 10, and
several other tweaks related to the E-ink display.
Last but not least, the Hisense A7 5G is
backed by a 4,770mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.
