Bigme may not necessarily be the best-known manufacturer of e-readers in this country, but the company's products are also available to buy in Germany. Bigme is now offering several new e-readers, specifically an entire product series. The Bigme B1051 series consists of five individual models, some of which differ significantly in terms of the display. The top model is the Bigme B1051C Pro. This comes with a color screen and, in contrast to the other systems, with a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 instead of a MediaTek Dimensity 900. All e-readers offer a 10.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1,860 x 2,480 pixels and therefore a pixel density of 300 PPI – with one exception. The B1051 Lite only has 1,404 x 1,872 pixels. There are also differences in the color representation: only the models with a C in the product name come with a colored E Ink screen, specifically the B1051C Pro, B1051C and B1051C Lite.
All models are based on Android 14 as the operating system. In principle, this allows you to install various additional apps, making the e-reader very versatile. WiFi in the 2.5 and 5 GHz bands are each supported, and the 5.5 millimeter thick e-readers have a microSD storage slot. The Lite models have 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal memory. With the exception of the B1051C Pro with its 8 and 256 gigabytes, the other e-readers have a 6 gigabyte RAM and a 128 gigabyte internal memory. The Bigme B1051 Lite costs around 368 euros in China, while the Bigme B1051C Pro costs 683 euros. Information for other markets is not yet available.
I have been active as a journalist for over ten years, most of it in the technology sector. I worked for Tom's Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have also worked for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – compact systems with many possibilities. He also has a passion for all types of wearables and especially smartwatches. My main job is as a laboratory engineer, which is why I am not far removed from scientific connections or the interpretation of complex measurements.
