THIS IS NOT A HISENSE SITE!

There's no such thing as Hisense A9 Pro. It's just A9.

The site has zero contact information, you have no idea who you are buying it from.

Buyer beware!

You can find official jd.com links on https://ereaderx.com/product/hisense-a9-eink-phone-specs/ use your favorite proxy, I use superbuy but I won't link because this is not a spam post. Notably it's 266.70 USD from JD this sus website wants 479.99 for the same... shipping will add a little but certainly not even half the difference.



Edit:

Nevermind, I confused HiSense and Huawei's HiSilicon :(

With that said, HiSense is more of a white box OEM outside Asia, so maybe this is them trying a new thing with direct sales to West?


HiSilicon =/= Hisense.


Anyone considering buying this phone in the US should probably not do so because it has no support for UTMS aka 3G (still common in rural areas), does not support any of the 4G "long range" bands, and no 5G support (an increasing number of rural cell towers are long-range 5G)

It does support the majority of non-extended-range Tmobile bands. I did not check other carriers, but this thing is much worse than a Nexus 6 in terms of LTE band support - a phone that came out about 8-9 years ago.
