I have just last month purchased the Hisense A2 Pro from Aliexpress.

The seller had added multilanguage support and Google Play.

So far the English language support has been great and all Apps seem to work fine including Whatsapp.

It was $215 USD with a matte plastic screen protector, two cases, and two glass screen protectors. I do not like screen protectors in general so have taken off.

This phones runs much faster than the Yotaphone 2 (I have two of those). I use split screen alot on my S8 so it is nice to have it in the A2 Pro.

I love the Infrared emitter. My kids are always losing the remotes and now I can turn the tv on off at home, at the airport, and on the local BC Ferry.

Camera is just ok. Not as good as my Samsung S8 but miles better than the Yotaphone 2.

The eink screen is fast and clear but I still prefer the Yotaphone 2's matte eink display.

The phone is also really large. It is almost the exact same length and width as the iphone 6/7 plus. Just thicker. I use an iphone 6 plus leather case for the phone.

Has anyone tried to have their HiSense A2, A2 Pro or Yotaphone 3 shiney screen sandblasted to give it a frosted matte surface like the Yotaphone 2?

I still use and love the Yotaphone 2 even with all of its quirks. I cannabize the one phone for parts as the better Yota2 has had issues... Replaced battery, two omeleod screens...

To eReader fan - Are you wanting a video of video played on the eink screen? It works well for video but the colour screen is much nicer to look at and uses about the same power for video when playing video.
