The Forma's Mobius screen uses a plastic substrate so it is lighter than the Aura One but the buttons on the Forma make it wider and harder to fit into a pocket. Battery life is pretty much the same for me. There have been complaints for both about issues with uneven screen illumination. My Aura One has very even screen illumination while my Forma does have a narrow slightly dim bar along the button edge but not enough to be noticeable while reading.
Can you help me? You post that the Aura One has a 7.8 inch screen, but when I look at this link, it's 6 inches. Am I missing something?
