The Hisense A9 is widely considered the best E-Ink smartphone, and I have to agree — especially after flashing an unofficial port of LineageOS 21, upgrading it to Android 14 from 11. This not only makes it more future-proof but also enhances its privacy features.
But before we dive into that, let’s take a quick look at the overall design and specs for those who aren’t familiar with the Hisense A9.

🖖WHO AM I
