You will hate the camera. That is the deal.
E-ink phones are messaging, maps-as-diagrams, and reading. They are not photography, Instagram, or a ride-hail QR in noon sun unless you add a second panel. Hisense A10 and Bigme Dual 2 exist because that sentence is true.
Import is part of the product
Bands, warranty, and which Play services actually stay certified are the review Amazon will not write. Budget a local Android phone as backup until you know the radio works on your carrier. India, in particular, is a grey-import market for Hisense and Bigme: possible, not pleasant.
