The leader in e-book readers【Bigme】This time we have launched a new product, which is the 10.3-inch model we are going to unbox today.Bigme B10 electronic AI reader”. In terms of Ada’s daily work, the most commonly used tool for work is the computer, because writing articles, editing pictures, and even using AI require a computer with good performance to handle the work. But during non-working hours, most people use foldable phones or tablets, mainly for watching videos, reading comics, replying to letters, etc. and other lighter entertainment and communication matters. But in fact, if you stare at the computer screen for a long time during the day, and continue to read comics or long articles on a regular tablet or mobile phone at night, if you are exposed to the backlight and blue light of the screen for a long time, your eyes will really become oily and sore!
I don’t know if readers are still impressed by the Bigme B7 multi-function color e-ink tablet that Ada unboxed last year. After using it, a lot of sore eyes have been improved. Because the Bigme B7 screen itself does not emit light, but uses ambient light to reflect to your eyes, just like reading a real paper book. If you use it for a long time, your eyes will be less tired than looking at tablets and mobile phones.
However, the Bigme B7 only has a 7-inch body. Although it is very convenient to carry around and hold with one hand, for a middle-aged person like me, it is still difficult to see the 7-inch screen, especially some text display is too small and must be enlarged to view. Then this 10.3-inch [Bigme B10 electronic AI reader】, for me, a bigger and larger screen meets my needs quite accurately! In addition to the increased size, the functions have also been improved. Let’s take a look at what amazing feelings this 10.3-inch multi-functional color e-ink tablet will bring:

Choose a protective cover based on functional requirements
Bigme B10 has two protective cases to choose from this time. The navy blue one on the left is a reader protective case, and the orange one on the right is a keyboard protective case. The reader protective case is an accessory provided by the original factory, which means that when you buy the Bigme B10, you will get this protective case. But if you need to use a keyboard for typing, you can purchase the package version, and you will get a combination of reader cover + keyboard cover at one time:
The quality of the protective case is also quite good. It is very convenient to protect Bigme B10 or use it as a stand:
Designed with magnetic suction function, so you don’t have to worry about falling off when standing upright:
In addition, the magnetic capacitive pen can also be magnetically attached to the side of the fuselage. After being attached, it can also perform magnetic charging:
The protective cover has a groove design where the pen is placed. This magnetic capacitive pen will not fall off easily when held or shaken:
What’s special is that if you have a lot of typing needs like Ada, you can also purchase an exclusive magnetic keyboard cover, which can be directly connected magnetically through metal contacts:
This magnetic keyboard case has similar specifications to a laptop keyboard. It also has a touchpad that can be used as a mouse:
After attaching this magnetic keyboard cover, the Bigme B10 instantly becomes a small laptop that can type and operate quickly. For people like me who occasionally use the tablet to send and receive emails and write articles, this accessory is very useful and can be used as a small laptop to handle work anytime and anywhere. And due to its small size and light weight, it is more convenient to carry than ordinary clerical laptops:
Bigme B10 electronic AI reader introduction
screen
Next, let’s look at the specifications and configuration of Bigme B10. Bigme B10 is equipped with a 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 color e-paper eye-protection screen this time. The characteristic of this e-paper screen is that even when it is turned off or in standby mode, the screen will always have images displayed. This is because e-ink has the so-called “bistable” physical properties. To put it simply, it only consumes power at the moment when the picture is turned or changed. Once the picture is fixed, the electronic ink particles inside will stay in place. Even if the power is completely cut off, the picture will not disappear:
Because it does not operate in a self-illuminating manner like ordinary tablet or mobile phone screens, and the surface has a matte anti-glare treatment, you will be less affected by reflections when viewing it under the bright sun, and the brighter the ambient light, the clearer the screen can be seen:
The color resolution of Bigme B10 is 150 PPI:
Black and white resolution is 300 PPI:
Readers who come into contact with it for the first time will definitely feel that its colors are not as bright as tablets and mobile phones, but in fact, its comfortable color electronic paper presentation is its biggest highlight. After all, the screen itself does not operate in a self-illuminating manner, so your eyes will be less dry when you watch it for a long time. This part is my experience after using B7 for more than a year, and to be honest, I really feel it:
Use the 10.3-inch screen to read PDF files or comics. There is really only one word to describe it: “cool”! In the past, you might have needed to use two fingers to zoom in or out, but now you don’t need to because the default font is large and clear enough, so you don’t need to zoom in to see clearly. Moreover, the unique presentation method of the color e-paper screen makes reading PDFs and comics very similar to the feeling of reading real paper. This is why many readers would rather choose a color e-paper screen than use a tablet to read pictures and texts:
In addition, the system also allows you to choose the display effect and refresh mode. If you are using it to read articles and comics, it is recommended to choose a lower refresh mode so that the color of the graphics and texts will be the best. But if you want to watch a video, it is recommended to set the refresh mode to a high value so that the video will not have a lot of afterimages. However, when using this kind of color e-paper screen, it is recommended to just use it to read pictures and text. To be honest, the effect of using it to watch videos is not very good:
When viewing static flat graphics and text such as comics and magazines, this sliding or page turning effect will lessen the problem of afterimages:
It’s not impossible to use it to watch videos, but its afterimages and colors won’t be as good as those on tablets and mobile phones, so it’s not recommended to use it to watch videos:
But as a professional reader, this part is the strength of Bigme B10. It has a built-in 36-level warm and cool dual-color leading reading light. You can adjust the color temperature to the most comfortable color temperature for your eyes according to your needs:
This feature makes it very suitable for reading indoors. Whether it is used during the day when there is sufficient light, or before bedtime when warmer light is needed, it can easily do the job:
If you are someone who is used to turning off the lights to watch your mobile phone or tablet, you will definitely love the display effect of the Bigme B10 screen. Because the feeling of watching this screen is the same as reading a book with a gentle night light on the bedside at night. You don’t have to endure the stinging feeling of being blinded by the strong light of tablets and mobile phones in the dark, and you don’t have to worry about staring at the screen before going to bed because of the direct blue light, which will make you more energetic and even affect your sleep. Its low irritation will make you feel more comfortable than using mobile phones and tablets:
Compared with the 7-inch B7, the viewing quality of the picture is really much better:
However, the small size and light weight of Bigme B7 are still very distinctive. Even if you hold it with one hand for a long time, you will not feel sore:
Although the Bigme B10 is only twice as heavy, it still feels burdensome to hold it with one hand for a long time:

lens
The back of the Bigme B10 is equipped with a 20-megapixel rear camera:
It is not a camera whose main function is to take pictures, so the rear lens is mostly used to capture documents and recognize text through ORC, so that you no longer have to work hard to type text according to the document:
The front camera has a specification of 5 million pixels:
If you have an urgent video conference or want to chat with friends, you can use the front camera. In short, most of the camera functions are just to perform tasks, not to take pictures:
Button and port configuration
The Type-c port installed next to the fuselage can support charging and headphone connection functions:
In addition, the battery specification has been upgraded to a large capacity of 6,900mAh. For this relatively low power consumption color e-paper tablet, there is no problem in using it for a whole day, and it can be charged by a mobile power supply even if there is no power. And I tried leaving it on standby for 5 to 6 days, and the battery % dropped less than 10%. The battery life performance is very good:
The Type-c port supports 4G SIM card Internet access and 2TB MicroSD memory card expansion:
It supports the function of 4G SIM card, so you don’t have to look for Wi-Fi everywhere or use your phone to turn on a hotspot when you are out. You can connect to the Internet to download new books or send and receive emails anytime and anywhere. This is very important for this kind of portable hardware:
As for the physical buttons, Bigme B10 is equipped with a power button with fingerprint recognition capability on the upper left side. It also supports unlocking functions such as icons and passwords. In addition to the lack of facial recognition unlocking function, the privacy and security part is also well done:
This time, the up and down page keys (or volume keys) are also made larger and more prominent, making them significantly easier to press during operation:
There are also 8 physical touch shortcut keys on the left side of the screen. You can return to the homepage, switch apps or return with one click. You can also customize the functions of these keys. I think the operation logic is more intuitive than B7:
As for the microphone, Bigme B10 has quite a lot of built-in microphones. The 8 built-in noise-cancelling microphones can be used for video chat or linked to its own AI voice-to-text function. Whether it is recording interviews or recording classes, this one can do it perfectly:
System and Hardware
Bigme B10 is built with Android 14 open system, and the hardware is MediaTek eight-core CPU, 8GB RAM (a 12GB RAM version is also available) and 256GB ROM:
And there is a complete Google Play store. You can download comic APPs, PDFs or commonly used APPs through Google Play:
The main function of Bigme B10 is reading, so for this color e-paper tablet, the operation and execution speed are not as fast as ordinary tablets. But overall, the specifications and configuration are quite good. Generally speaking, the speed of sliding menus and executing programs is quite smooth:
As mentioned just now, this time it has been upgraded to a 6,900mAh large-capacity battery, which is more than enough for a full day of serious use, and even in standby mode it does not consume much power. Good review!
You can also change the homepage style of Bigme B10 through settings, providing an office mode suitable for business people and a tablet mode used by ordinary people. It is well thought out for situational applications:
Bigme B10 itself has many useful functions built-in, which can be used for meeting minutes, drawing, language translation, AI assistant, etc.:
The first is the meeting recording function, which has multi-language recognition capabilities and uses 8 built-in microphones for recording and recognition:
The best thing is that it can even clearly recognize Taiwanese. Although there will be a slight difference in the recognized text, the accuracy is still quite high, which is very impressive!
Through the speech-to-text function, when taking meeting minutes, you don’t have to work hard to type while listening. It is very convenient to let the system help you listen and recognize the sounds, and the accuracy of the recognition is quite high:
Not only that, after recognizing the text, you can also ask it to summarize the meeting or make a mind map. In this way, you don’t need to read slowly word by word. You can directly ask AI to help you sort out the key points, which is quick and clear:
Another useful function is to take notes. With a magnetic capacitive pen, you can write and draw at the same time, allowing you to quickly write down or draw the thoughts in your mind. You can even recognize the text you write through the OCR function. It will be much easier to copy it to other documents or send it to relatives and friends:
At the same time, this magnetic capacitive pen has a 4096-level pressure sensitivity, and the screen itself is micro-matte, so you will feel a rustling real paper friction when writing. It feels very good to use it for taking notes and drawing during meetings:
In addition, Bigme B10 itself has built-in BigmeGPT’s AI function. This AI function is very similar to our commonly used ChatGPT, which can be used to chat, create and AI drawing functions:
If you want to ask which built-in function of Bigme B10 is the best, then the answer is definitely the voice translation function. It can quickly convert the language you specify into the language you specify through real-time translation. If you don’t understand the content of a conference or some online live broadcasts, you can directly use this function to do real-time translation, and the synchronization speed is very fast. In this way, even if you do not understand foreign languages, you can quickly understand what the other party is saying through this translation function:
In addition, it supports the split screen function. In addition to being able to write while reading materials like me, you can also split into videos and into voice translation at the same time, so that you can achieve the effect of real-time translation:
Ada has also made videos to introduce these useful functions in detail. Readers are advised to watch the videos to understand them more easily:

Bigme B10 usage experience
After this period of in-depth experience, the launch of Bigme B10 can be said to solve my pain points! Upgrading from the previous 7-inch screen to a 10.3-inch large screen is really a visual liberation for me who often needs to read PDF files, full-color comics or long-form materials. The non-luminous physical properties of color e-paper, coupled with the 36-level warm and cool reading light, perfectly solve the problem of eye soreness caused by staring at ordinary tablets for a long time. This is absolutely an irreplaceable advantage for people who use heavy eyes.
In addition to eye protection, Bigme B10 has also put a lot of effort into productivity this time. As long as you attach the exclusive magnetic keyboard case, it can instantly transform into a portable, lightweight laptop. Coupled with the built-in Android 14 open system, the complete Google Play Store, support for 4G SIM card networking and a large battery of up to 6,900mAh, you can send and receive letters and write articles on business trips without having to worry about looking for Wi-Fi or sockets.
In addition, its powerful AI and voice functions, coupled with the 8 built-in noise-cancelling microphones, not only capture the sound clearly, but also convert speech to text with extremely high accuracy, evenTaiwaneseThey can all be identified! Coupled with real-time voice translation, AI meeting summary and split screen functions, it can greatly save time in organizing meeting records. In short, if you are also a reader who likes to read physical books, then this device has both a large screen and powerful expandability. Bigme B10, it is a digital reader worth investing in!
