This E Ink smartphone is ripping out its SIM support to compete against Boox

One of the latest trends with e-readers is phone-sized e-readers, first explored by Boox with the Palma. Of course, one of the biggest complaints about the Palma and its sequel is that neither are a phone, and what with Hisense really being the only one making E Ink phones (that aren't sold in the US), this left room in the market for Bigme to fill with the HiBreak, an E Ink smartphone packing 4G that does actually work in the US. This left fans begging for a 5G model, which is coming, known as the HiBreak Pro. Still, with Boox cleaning up with the Palma and Palma 2, it was clear Bigme would need a device that could compete.
