The Bigme Hibreak is a new smartphone with a current operating system and an E-Ink display technology. The device will be available in two configurations.
Odd choice to use Android 11 on one of them and Android 14 on the other. Makes me suspicious of their ability to keep these devices up to date over time.
I tend to just care about security updates at this point. There isn’t any new features I want, anymore. I’m either using it as a phone, sending messages, or in an apk. The OS version is of little consequence.

The fact that they have to advertise the Android version tells me this will never see a single update.

Do they offer a security update commitment?
I have no idea. Plus, with a brand new company, you can’t even be sure they’ll be around in a few years to follow through with any such promises.
