海信彩色電子墨水手機下周上市

If 5G was the common feature that most smartphone makers were touting last year, this year’s theme seems to revolve around the screen once more. No, not some punch-hole cutout, in-display sensor, or even curved edges. Many if not all high-end phones boast of 90Hz refresh rates or even higher. In a sea of such advanced handsets, Hisense’s next phone will stand out from the crowd with an almost opposite kind of innovation, bringing the world’s first slow refresh rate smartphone with a colored electronic paper display.

如果說5G是大多數(shù)智能手機制造商去年兜售的共同功能，那么今年的主題似乎又一次圍繞著屏幕展開。不，這次不是一些沖孔切口、顯示傳感器，甚至曲邊方面。很多高端手機都有90Hz或更高的刷新率。在如此先進的手機大潮中，海信的下一款手機將以幾乎完全相反的創(chuàng)新脫穎而出，帶來全球首款帶有彩色電子紙顯示屏的低刷新率智能手機。

Phones with e-paper (or the E-ink brand itself) screens are nothing new but almost all of those use it as a second screen on the phone’s back. That’s because the properties of E-ink displays may make it great for certain use cases, their limitations, particularly in color, put them at a disadvantage. The availability of colored e-paper panels is slowly changing that and Hisense is daring to make that big leap of faith.

帶有電子紙(或電子墨水品牌本身)屏幕的手機并不是什么新鮮事，但幾乎所有的手機都將其用作手機背面的第二個屏幕。這是因為電子墨水顯示器的特性可能使它在某些用例中表現(xiàn)出色，但它們的局限性，尤其是在顏色上，使它們處于不利地位。彩色電子紙面板的出現(xiàn)正在慢慢改變這一狀況，海信敢于邁出這一大步。

First revealed at CES 2020 a few months back, Hisense’s phone uses one and only one screen and it is the newer kind of E-ink that can display some color, 4,096 to be exact, which is far from the millions that LCDs and OLEDs are capable of. Although Hisense says its refresh rate is faster than its previous one, it’s only in relation to other E-ink screens. Compared to regular smartphones, you won’t be able to comfortably watch a video on it.

早在幾個月前的CES 2020上，海信就首次發(fā)布了這款手機，它只有一個屏幕，而且是能顯示某些顏色的新型電子墨水，確切地說，是4096種，遠不及l(fā)cd和oled所能顯示的數(shù)百萬種顏色。雖然海信表示，它的刷新率比上一代要快，但這只是相對于其他電子墨水屏幕而言。與普通智能手機相比，你無法在上面舒適地觀看視頻。

So why bother, you might ask. The display will be great for reading, which is what a lot of people do on their phones beyond watching or gaming. It’s easier on the eyes and now you won’t have to settle for grayscale images on the Web or your colored comics. It’s also a lot easier on the battery, given how E-ink screens only take sips when changing the contents of the screen. Just don’t expect the UI to move smoothly like on any normal Android phone.

那么，你可能會問，為什么要這么麻煩呢?這個顯示屏將非常適合閱讀，這是很多人在手機上除了觀看或玩游戲之外所做的事情。它對眼睛更友好，現(xiàn)在你不必滿足于網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的灰度圖像或你的彩色漫畫。考慮到電子墨水屏幕在改變屏幕內(nèi)容時耗電較小，它對電池的要求也要低得多。只是別指望用戶界面會像普通Android手機那樣流暢。

Hisense is teasing that it will launch this still unnamed colored E-ink phone to the world on April 23. Specs of this novel phone are still unknown at this point but, judging by its first full E-ink phone, it won’t be that much in order to keep the price down.

海信調(diào)侃說，它將于4月23日向全世界推出這款仍不知名的彩色電子墨水手機。這款新穎手機的規(guī)格目前還不得而知，但從其第一款全電子墨水手機來看，為了壓低價格，這款手機的規(guī)格不會太高。
