Hisense has come to the MWC with two very original proposals for the smartphone market. On the one hand, the Hisense U30, a terminal with an Infinity-O screen and a leather back. On the other hand, the Hisense A6, a mobile that combines a 6-inch AMOLED screen with a 5.61-inch electronic ink screen. So, are we facing a folding mobile? Is it the same style we saw on the ZTE Axon M? No, we have the second screen at the back of the terminal.
In addition to having two displays, the Hisense A6 has a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 16-megapixel front camera. It is also equipped with a Snapdragon 660 processor, 6 GB of RAM and a 3,300 milliamp battery. All this under the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system. At the moment we do not know its official price, but we can tell you more in detail what this curious mobile from Hisense offers us. Let's see it.

A second e-ink screen
The Hisense A6 combines two displays. The front is a 6.01-inch AMOLED panel with FHD + resolution. On the other hand, the rear is a 5.61-inch e-ink screen with HD resolution.
This second screen uses ink-e technology to adjust the brightness of the backlight intelligently and automatically. In other words, it offers a more comfortable reading mode than that of the AMOLED screen. The low blue light emission of the e-ink screen protects your eyes from exhaustion when reading long texts. In addition, this screen consumes less power, which allows to extend the battery life.
Although it is more designed to read with the mobile, for example books or long texts, it also allows access to the entire Android environment. This will increase the life of the battery and the visibility when the terminal is running out of it. In short, the Hisense A6 combines the features of a mobile with an ebook reader.
More than decent technical set
Leaving aside this curious double screen, the Hisense A6 is equipped with a technical mid-range set but that is not bad at all. Inside we find a Snapdragon 660 processor that is accompanied by 6 GB of RAM. It also has 64 or 128 GB of internal storage, expandable by MicroSD card of up to 256 GB.
It also includes a 3,300 milliamp battery, with Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging capability. There is no lack of the fingerprint reader and the face unlocking system.
Perhaps the photographic apparatus is the weakest of the terminal. It has a 12 megapixel main sensor. It is a Samsung 2PD sensor, which contains two light detection units in each pixel to increase the resolution to 24 megapixels.
Finally it has a 16 megapixel front camera and Android 8.1 Oreo system. The Hisense A6 will hit the market in the coming months with a price that has yet to be revealed.
