Onyx Boox Palma vs Bigme HiBreak Smartphone Comparison 

I appreciate bigger screen of the palma. Hoping to see one even bigger/larger when Onyx finally makes an e ink smartphone.

I have the Palma and love it. I prefer having a dedicated ereader separate from my phone. It limits distractions for me.

E-ink screens are so cool, I'm really looking to screen improvements and refresh rate improvements as the technology advances

I think im get a cheap older smartphone and put a mate screen protector on it and have just my reading apps on it. Just use wifi or my hotspot

If the speaker on the Bigme is that poor, how can people hear ringing for incoming phone calls?

I love the Palma so much. I wish it was a real phone :P Excited for my Minimal Phone to arrive next month though.

Thank you!!! Excellent review, and I will keep my Boox Palma - just got it and checking if I am going to like it. Kindle Oasis is my “baby”, lol

Thank you so much GOOD EREADER for giving us a review side-by-side of both devices! I honestly think that the speaker situation is a “shoot in the foot” kind of situation. I wonder if when i use bluetooth earbuds and if im listening to an audiobook and all the sudden someone calls, will my ears survive? Also the screen being colour is a great thing and i wouldn’t mind honestly if i didn’t already had a Palma. Because when comparing like this ofc we can tell the difference. I wouldn’t read manga with it definitely but epubs would be fine. Also that bigme screen protector isn’t that great tbh. I would need to get a better matte screen protector. My main concern is battery of the bigme after usage with frontlight. And if after usage continues to behave well. I am seriously considering buying it because the phone call abilities is what i want for a long time in a palma. I guess i will be waiting for a bit and think about it. Super helpful review! Thanks seriously

thanks for the comparison video.. if you watch movies frequently what happens to the display if you exceed the rated number of refreshes? do the pixels become stuck or will it just stop functioning?

Can you compare big me black and white version vs Palma? I think those two are very similar but price has a big difference. Big me sound 230. Palma 300

I’ve been hoping for a boox palma color since onyx has color e-ink devices👀 do you think it’s worth the wait, or should I cut my losses and get a palma anyway?

Thanks, this comparision was the exact thing I was looking for. Kudos!

Commenting from my hibreak. I love this thing!

BIGME HIBREAK BLACK & WHITE VERSION REVIEW PLEASE,⚡⚡⚡⚡

I’ve used iPhone for most of my life and I’m wondering if getting the Palma one would required an eventual upgrade as Android continues to advance? I hope that makes sense. Like certain apps not working if the Palma becomes outdated at some point? if that’s even possible

Bigme does not seem to support web apps ( ie "add shortcut to home" from the browser ), and has no option to activate the button bar (home, back apps)

I think it is appropriate to make a comparison between palma and b/w hi break

A smaller version of the bigme would be nice

It feels to me that the bigme isnt a good ereader or a good phone

How is the call quality of Bigme Hibreak? I'm looking at replacing my current smartphone with this e ink phone.

I need a versus between bigme phone and hisense 🎉 thanks

Interesting that you manage NOT to say the ppi of BigMe: 92 ppi (less than 1/3 of boox palma). It is not a shame: you get color.

It's a shame they both lack something that can be important. They should just merge lol

Does bigme has pwm? That would actually destroy the purpose of the panel or am I wrong

Please also can you provide the ghz of the chip as they can have 20 chips but if they run at 1.6ghx then it's still 1.6ghz. The number of chips makes zero difference. it's just a branding thing. When intel started all the 2 3 4 core etc the only thing that made the pc faster was the ghz speed. 850 flashdragon means nothing. And then you look it up and find there are all types of 850 flashdragon so you still don't know the speed. The only thing that effects the device in most cases is the chip speed and the Ram. after that its programming errors, removal of basic functionality that's existed for 20 years like a volume/camera button or UI creative aborations by the staff.

why not a eink screen that duplicate the one of you mobile, so that you use one or another depending on the use, only problem is that you should use 2 devices, but I can see this a solution to use a fast mobile having the chance to use the eink display to read easily ebooks etc

good comparison

I don't know. They both seems not good as a smartphone but to overloaded and expensive for a small e-reader to me.

did yours bigme on play store settings its says device not certified?

The bigme colour is horrible. I see a bright spot, looks like a stuck pixel. The previous Boox colour readers had the same issues and had 3 had bright spots and got a refund

This is iphone 10 xs

Who cares about camera and simcard???this is a productivity device
