Digital E-Reader from Hisense, Equipped with Google Play for Access to Various Books and Applications
The Hisense Hi Reader, a sleek and modern e-book reader, has recently caught the attention of readers and tech enthusiasts. While it is primarily sold in the Chinese market, the device supports multiple languages, including English, making it accessible to a wider audience.
The Hisense Hi Reader boasts a 6.7-inch E Ink Carta HD display with a 300 PPI resolution and an impressive 84 percent screen-to-body ratio. The display is equipped with 36-level DC dimming and can adjust brightness automatically for a comfortable reading experience. The device comes with a single speaker on the bottom and a 3000 mAh battery for extended usage.
The design of the Hisense Hi Reader is minimalistic, with a focus on a sleek and modern aesthetic. The structure is primarily made of aluminum and is rectangular in shape with square corners. The front of the device features an e-paper screen covered by a layer of glass that is flush with the bezel. The back of the Hisense Hi Reader bears the inscription "Designed by Hisense."
The Hisense Hi Reader runs on Android 10 OS and allows for sideloading of apps or installation of an alternative app market. The stock e-reading app supports most major ebook formats such as EPUB, MOBI, PRC, AWZ, TXT, PDF, and others. Users can easily load their DRM-Free book collection onto the device or connect to cloud storage.
The device comes with a free blue gel case, designed to fit the device and accommodate buttons. It also supports WIFI for internet connectivity and Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless headphone or earbud pairing.
However, information about the Hisense Hi Reader's upgradeability to the latest Android 11 is not currently available. Given the general trend for e-readers, upgrades to newer Android versions like Android 11 may depend on the device's hardware and manufacturer support but are uncommon for many e-readers which usually prioritize stability and battery life over OS upgrades.
For the most accurate and updated information on the Hisense Hi Reader and its software upgrade paths, it is recommended to check the official Hisense website or contact their customer support.
The Hisense Hi Reader, with its E Ink Carta HD display, can be considered as one of the latest gadgets competing with smartphones and other technology devices. Due to its Android 10 OS and the ability to sideload apps, it functions like a smartphone but is designed for a focused reading experience.
