A5ProCC doesn't have Google Play, yet. Even though they suggest it on AliExpress. However, if you use Aurora, you can install from Google Play indirectly.
What you will be missing is Google services. So apps that depend on it, will probably nag you about it. Paradoxically, if you install Google services the nags disappear, but some apps, e.g. Google maps won't work anymore.
This first generation A5ProCC has the greyish color of the older Eink devices. The color is the quality of newspapers, so not that good.
Still very happy with mine thought. The device keeps been updated. All apps work nowadays.I wouldn't want an Eink mobile without color.
The contrast is great outdoors! It's great in well illuminated places such as supermarkets. Backlight will always be able to make the contrast good. However, the screen isn't beautiful anymore.
Ideally, try to wait for the 2nd generation color eInk.

The A5C on CECT shop doesn't have pre-installed play store unfortunately. Only the A5. There is an A5c with play store being sold on Aliexpress though.
Well, Play Services are important to me, not willing to go through that hassle again so it's either the A5 or A5c for me..some people are saying the A5 is better but the color version is tempting me. Also I've seen people say ti not buy through Aliexpress which makes me lean towards A5. I just wonder if it's enough for a main phone.
Would getting an A5 now and wait for a future hisense Color phone be a good way to go ? I definitely want an E-ink phone now.
