The colours on the A5 Pro CC are very muted. For me, that is no issue at all. I am not expecting it to behave like an LCD or LED screen. I got it for using with maps and other such applications where having a slight bit of colour can make a huge difference in term of readability. You can see some of the photos which I posted on page nine in this thread:

In one post, I uploaded pictures of a map inside with the light on full. A few days later, I posted pictures of the same map in direct sunshine with the light off.

I do hope that Onyx eventually comes out with a phone if only to push Hisense to further refine theirs. Competition can be a very good thing for innovation. However Onyx definitely has their work cut out for them. Right now, I do more reading on my Hisense devices than on my Onyx ones except when I need to read a PDF on a large screen or take notes.
Thanks!

Now I am wondering if I should get the A5 Pro or A5 Pro CC. I might buy both and keep the best.

Does the A5 and A5 Pro CC fill somewhat different functions for you? I need a phone for handling audiobooks, some browsing (the faster the better), reading, Anki flashcards (preferably with colors) and such. GeoGebra calculator as well.

I do have light sensitivity, but if it's muted, compared to LCDs, then it's prolly fine. I am looking forward to getting my hands on a Hisense now.

I will prolly not buy from CECT shop, but I asked them now if they could sell the new Hisense with Google Apps, like this:

I'll prolly buy here, due to 14 day return policy.
