HISENSE

A5 with an e-ink display, Snapdragon 439, 4000mAh battery launched

Apart from the Hisense A6L with dual display screens, Hisense also launched a second smartphone which goes by the name Hisense A5. The major highlight of the device is definitely the e-ink display which it uses.
Hisense A5 is designed to provide users with an easy and distraction-free reading. That it why it ditches an IPS or OLED screen for the e-ink one. The device comes with a 5.83-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 640×720 pixels. This is perfect for those who think a Kindle is too big to move around with.
The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 Systems-On-Chip (SoC) paired with 4GB of RAM. It is available in 32GB and 64GB storage versions. The storage is expandable up to a whopping 256GB via a microSD slot. The phone presents with a single SIM slot and a dedicated microSD slot.
 

For photography, the Hisense A5 packs a single 13MP main camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture that is located at the top left corner of the back panel. There is an LED flash just under the camera sensor. At the front, the A5 features a 5MP f/1.9 camera for selfies. The device equally crams a 4000mAh battery under its hood with 5V/2A fast charging. The device also supports USB OTG function and so can be used to charge a second device. It comes pre-installed with Android 9.0 Pie OS. Other features include 4G VoLTE, 3.5mm audio jack, an HiFi sound system, Bluetooth, and several others.
As for the pricing an availability, Hisense A5 is presently on reservation at JD.com fo ¥1199 ($169) for the 4GB+32GB version. The 4GB+64GB version is also on reservation for ¥1499 ($212).
