I have the a6L (with Google Play installed). It is good but has some issues compared with my old A2 Pro.
The issues first:
Chromecast -- For youtube its is good. For Google Home (or straight casting) it is bad. It casts but also plays the sound on the phone which is quite annoying (and you can't mute it without muting the sound on the TV). (I guess you can plug in some headphones...
Had to install an old version of Google Maps (10.3 or whatever from 2019). Latest version causes repeated crashes...
Had to install an old version of Radio.com. Latest version crashes over and over...
The e-ink launcher seems pointless as it does not give a lock screen option for the display (so we can have similar fuction to the Yota 3+).
The lock screen has 4 options, most of which are pointless to english speakers (word of the day for Chinese learning english, Chinese poems, etc. Two lockscreens are ok (the ones with wallpaper options.
The good:
Face unlock for both sides of the phone. Dual lens camera on the inkside 24mp is actually pretty good. The extra ink unlock button is nice I guess. The phone is much snappier than the Yota 3. The Yota 3+ is sluggish and has its own issues / strengths. Google Play works mostly well after installing it using the Google Calendar method.
I'm interested in getting my hands on an A6 with Google Play (from Russia). Anyone that can help with that, please let me know. Alternately, I'll settle for a cheap used version from China or a new version from China if the price decreases.
Reflective screens are never an issue for me as I can just order Iphone Matte screens and modify as needed.
I like the two screen option over the e-ink only options as the e-ink only option is not snappy enough for me as a continuous use option. It's nice to have 2 tablets in one. Smartphone software is still mainly designed for snappy AMOLED screens.
