They really can't compete with other better-known brands.
Speaking from personal experience with the brand, a few years ago I had the U975. It had terrible battery life with a weird front camera...customer service was non existent & it looks like there are lots of people with the same complaints in regards to the rest of their lineups' models poor battery life.

This looks interesting:
Hisense demoes phone with color e-Ink display at CES 2020
The Hisense A5 was unveiled last year with an e-Ink display. But that was a monocrhome screen, this year the company is showing off a new prototype phone with a color e-Ink phone at CES 2020.
Details are scarce at the moment, but the new display reportedly features improved contrast and refresh rates compared to the panel on the A5. That said, color e-Ink screens tend to have much slower refresh rates than the already slow monochrome screens, which isn’t an issue for an e-reader, but is really limiting when it comes to smartphone UI.
Anyway, color e-Ink panels are reportedly set to go into mass production in Q2 of this year. However, Hisense didn’t announce a time frame for the launch of this phone.
The reduced eyestrain and excellent legibility of e-Ink displays make them an interesting choice for phones. If Hisense has managed to crack the refresh rate problem, it could become a really interesting option.

It promises improved refresh rates, but is keeping specifics under wraps for now. The Hisense A5 was unveiled last year with an e-Ink display. But that was...

Elaborate if you please?
Is it a problem that Hisense is a Chinese state-owned group?
Doesn't Hisense push vanilla android basically?
Xiaomi was in the news for sending info on phone usage to servers etc.

I had bought one around 2018 and it came with pre-installed malware and other adware. I had to install Malware-bytes to scan and followed some guide to remove the crap.

I don't know if the situation has improved since then.
