Not having to actively light up those pixels, reducing power usage, especially when idle? Unless you have videos playing all the time you see bound to have some times when the change in pixels is infrequent enough to have some savings
Not what I meant, I said unless you’re watching a video all the time there will be times when you’re not actually using the full refresh rate to change the display, so it should be all the benefits of eink without the major downsides.
Also yeah the displays are more expensive compared to getting a cheap kindle, but considering you’re getting into more tablet territory with drawing capabilities it seems like the benefits are worth it to me.
a fair, didn’t read that properly! guess for tablet replacement that does sound nice, but for reading i think i’d still prefer something like the xteink (actually very curious if the size will be an issue but i always hate how heavy the paperwhite feels)
x4 has backlight, the new ones (v5? x4.5?) dropped it again for some reason? i got an original for myself and the backlight one for my wife actually :D

i have no data on it, but i’d honestly doubt you’d get much power savings when watching video?
also high refresh rate displays were stupidly expensive last time i checked. there is, after all, just a single company making them…

I looked into that, I wish more android phones supported qi2, either way my only negative about those is no backlight
