Which restrictions ? I'm expecting from android device that it's good working with Android ecosystem like google applications , 3rd party ereaders , shops etc.

For me not working full screen in current version is very frustrated ( I know that exist workaround - app for hide top status bar ,but it's not resolution )

Why android 4.4 - see for example
https://developer.android.com/traini...immersive.html

also I hope
1. for better video drivers
2. that stupid device partitioning will be changed in next sytem version

In the two years I've had a Windows phone, I've had more major updates than I've had in 5 years with Android devices (two devices, one update each).
Neither was I, but the change in handling external storage was carried over to 5.x

Neither do I expect the T68 will be upgraded to 5.x, I was just using it as a reference.

Happy Weekend All.

The restrictions on the use of the external SD card. They're a real pain in Android 4.4, and that's significant for a device with as small an amount of internal storage as the T68 has.

Anyway, I concur upgrading to 4.4 or above is not that a major concern for the T68, nice to have, but not a must, the e-ink screen is slow enough to bog down any speed improvements, if there's any.

OTOH, can we change the default dictionary from Onyx to say, GoldenDict or ColorDict?

Happy Weekend.

Edit: After using for a few more days, the two things I hope to address most are the lowest brightness (still too bright) & touchscreen accuracy (can be improved).

One question, there's a "left right" side icon on the notification bar (top), if I click it, it will change into "plus minus" icon.

What is the difference?

Sincerely.

Onyx has launched T68 Plus, the difference is 1GB RAM + 8GB flash.

The price difference is 100 CNY.

Sorry.

Anyway, do you guys think it makes a difference? I just picked up an original T68, didn't expect they'd release a new version so soon.

Cheers.

Depends on how long it takes for the new T68 to hit the market. The current T68 had its share of growing pains. I hope the Plus version is more reliable, has Carta, and a larger partition for user apps.

I checked on Banggood, and they have just taken off the current T68 from their site. Maybe they will sell the Plus?

Does anyone have any specs on the Plus? I'm curious.
