Reply to comment by mprziv in Hisense Hi Reader Pro is an Android smartphone with a 6.1 inch E Ink display (pre-order 250$) by giuliomagnifico

I think it’s more an e-reader that can be also a phone.

But could be useful as a second phone. The battery will last x days and you still have the ability to write messages/mail/etc.. like a phone for adventures, emergencies or sport.

Few years ago, they offered two e-ink phones. One was similar to this pro version but also included camera. The second one had I think IPS on the front and e-ink on the back.

Android uses too much battery life for it to be useful as an e-reader, at least much more so than a normal phone.

Its not an e-reader that happens to be a phone. Its a full Android device that happens to have a really power efficient screen.
