It basically just feels like they want our money, which isn't hard in this sparse market, instead of trying to build up any brand loyalty with customers. Why promise anything?
They still make decent, functional devices. I just doubt I'll be dropping that kind of money again.

I have 4 onyx devices, and only bought 1 new. As such, I don't expect them to be state of the art, and Im accustomed to finding old apks.
But I can see how after spending 600$ I would be unhappy not to get a promised update. But I know onyx. I wouldn't expect them to keep the promise.
One point is that onyx pitch their devices as readers, not tablets, so not being compatible with a later app is not a point to criticise them.
But the fact they promised an upgrade is a critism. Inexcusable. And they won't release sources to let the community do it. But it doesn't much affect me personally, and I knew what to expect so I'm not bothered. But if I'd bought a new 10" device, and I took onyx's word on the upgrade, I would disgruntled to say the least.
So I like onyx devices. I regret none of my purchases. But if boyue can improve their products, I will consider boyue next time.
But onyx have the best product, and they know it.
