The new Bigme InkNote X Color is making strides in the realm of E Ink tablets with its recent introduction into the tech market. Boasting a 10-inch color display, the tablet marks a significant upgrade from its predecessors. The display has a modest refresh rate of 15 images per second, which, while not suitable for high-speed video or gaming, serves its purpose well for more static uses like browsing apps and websites.
A notable enhancement in the Bigme InkNote X Color is the incorporation of the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, which offers considerable performance improvements thanks to its dual ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores that reach clock speeds up to 2.4 GHz, and an additional six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores operating at 2.0 GHz. Complementing the processing power are 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard flash storage, with the option to expand via a microSD card.
The tablet runs on the latest Android 13 OS straight out of the box, which should attract users seeking seamless app compatibility. Battery longevity is also a key feature, with a 4000 mAh battery that is optimized for extended use, given that E Ink displays are known for being energy efficient.
Creativity and productivity are encouraged with the inclusion of a pressure-sensitive stylus, enhanced with an infrared transmitter and a built-in microphone. Additional features that enrich the user experience include stereo speakers for immersive audio, quad microphones for clear audio capture, a 5 MP front-facing camera for video calls, an 8 MP main camera for capturing images, and a fingerprint sensor for security.
For connectivity, the Bigme InkNote X Color supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and it also comes with a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. All these features are packaged in a sleek tablet form that is designed to cater to users looking for a digital paper-like experience.
In terms of pricing and availability, the Bigme InkNote X Color is priced at approximately 4799 yuan, equivalent to around $668. It is set to debut in China, but international availability remains uncertain at this stage. However, consumers can find the previous model, the Bigme InkNote Color, through online retailers such as Amazon, which may provide a hint that the latest model could eventually make its way to a broader market.
