Go figure, an Android device has issues with heavy-handed memory management.
(That said, at least it's not iOS with a walled garden ecosystem complete with heavy-handed curation) |

> Like Onyx’s other new reading and note-taking devices, the Onyx phone runs Android 9.0 with (unofficial) Google Play support and it’s powered by an octa-core processor. We'll see how that works. The first videos of Hisense A5 had Google maps on it... |

Did you hear about Fairphone? I've learned about it recently and immediately asked on their forum whether they ever considered e-ink screens https://forum.fairphone.com/t/e-ink-...lacement/57011
For what it is, Fairphone 3 sounds a perfect phone if only they make an e-ink screen for it. |

If you look at 2:15 where he uses the internet, it looks pretty similar in terms of eink performance, to current models like the a2 or a5 does it not? I personally don't mind videos on my a2pro so colour would defintely be a plus, at least on that device. Edit screwed up this post, I completely forgot we were talking about monitors...still won't they be the same as the phone? Perhaps not. Last edited by Waiting4somethin; 01-25-2020 at 01:34 PM. |

Hello !
Can someone tell me more about browsing experience. Is it enough smoothly and convinient to scroll the web pages. I want to read articles in different sites. Whether the refresh rate is sufficient for this purpose, because some other devices, including my kindle, are very annoying. It would be great if someone upload video with browsinng. |

I just received the a5 from cect shop. Some thoughts and answers to the questions I had...
-The screen is as good as a regular ereader, almost no reflectiveness (edit: I think due to matt protector). -Screen is also much whiter than the a2, very white beautiful eink screen. -It does NOT have dual sim cards. (But has microsd like previous models) -There is an extra button called the eink button. --combined with a volume button it turns on/off frontlight --supposedly it can switch to an application (edit: but only in the default launcher I think) --holding opens "voice assistant" :/ -It has its own "recent apps" page which has a sideways visual movement when swiping apps -The touchscreen feels about as responsive as the a2 pro to me -Touchscreen might be more responsive if you remove protector, but it looks to me like it will reflect -Frontlight can be turned on/off or adjusted in notification area -Phone sleeps and wakes simply like a normal phone (unlike the awkward double screen versions) -Apps are automatically added to smooth refresh mode -The screen is near enough an inch larger in height than the a2pro, and a fraction wider. This phone is excellent. The only nitpick is the poor customization of the eink button. Really sad waste of a button. Everything else is perfect (though I haven't tested if it has fast charging, I will post an update). Later notes: -Video looks a bit more faded than I'm used to on the a2pro, perhaps because of matt protector? -Video is more like on yota2. It does have the benefit of not reflecting, which is annoying on the a2pro. Last edited by Waiting4somethin; 02-03-2020 at 09:17 AM. |
