Hisense is a major among manufacturers for deploying E-ink displays on smartphones and have even launched a couple of models with e-ink displays, some with dual screens. The company recently teased the launch of what should be the world’s first Color ink display smartphone billed for April 23.  Indeed, the Chinese brand has now unveiled three new smartphones with colour ink screens. The models are Hisense A5C, A5 Pro and A5 Pro CC.

The phones use the latest typographic colour e-ink technology which is produced by adding a layer of colour filters to the original black and white ink screen. This new type of colour electronic ink technology can display 4096 kinds of rich colours.
