I know this is a joke but I have a Kindle with an e-ink display and the refresh rate really isn't that bad. Unless you're heavily interacting with the screen (god forbid using social media), you should have no problems.

Hahah

But it's not in color

Lol thats an excuse

@@daviddezeeuw9031 Yeah dude, damn

But every refresh is consuming energy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, at least a 30hz screen, which, I guess , should still give it something like a 3 day+ life on moderate usage??

@Star Junior and Ace : it may reduce the mattery life by a bit, but it would still probably be multiple days per charge which is still much better than traditional phones.

This phone is exist from 90s

abhinand hari That will greatly reduce the lifespan of the display

Just get a rechargeable battery case if you need 2 weeks of a charge. Honestly why wouldn't you be near a charger in 2 weeks. You going camping ? Lol

Get an old Nokia

He would be stupid to promote something that is not great for YT but thats in my opinion a big plus for all People who are Looking for a digital detox, yet not wanting to go without Things like Maps and Standard Mailing, Texting, Browsing.

But we have that Energizer phone now tho

light phone?

Really? Well, maybe there's a market for this aftet all (not this one yet)

high power consumption. If you want the long battery life you have to accept there will be tradeoffs like low refresh. People interested in this for that reason probably aren't interested in using it for video ... heck it's not even color why are people freaking out about refresh... it's obviously not a replacement for the typical smartphone.

@@davidaustin6962 on e-readers I've hacked, they could go back and forth between typical slow refresh mode and fast refresh mode. Maybe the latter consumes more power, but it's nice to have the choice, and only using it when necessary is still gonna give a comparatively great battery life. I wouldn't mind watching videos on something like this, for me it's more about eye strain than battery life. I mean, it's not like people didn't enjoy black and white TV and movies for decades 😊

@@davidaustin6962 Honestly, screw the 2 week battery life: 5-7 days of battery life on a full charge, decent refresh rate, it's the perfect backup phone. You would no longer have to carry ancient tech or batteries-with-screens-type phones to have a charge and forget about device.

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated How do you hack an e-reader?

😁😆😆😆😆 he just survived this video and you asking for one week....

thats what i was also thinking about

Absolutely what anyone would think about this. Agreed.

to be honest,i would just take two powerbanks and set my samsung to maximum power saving mode but it would be good!

Hello Hello yes but when hiking with so much unnecesery things leaves you no place for other important stuff like food or water.

But you need a light source to actually see the screen in the dark

@Filip Jovanovic tf? just put do not disturb on or mute the notifications when u need to concentrate lol just save your money

@Filip Jovanovic agreed!

@Filip Jovanovic Love your comment. But in the other hand, it really pisses me of that people don't get your point and not because they don't get it for itself... They just don't want to open their minds to leave stuff that are not necessary. Tech zombies anyway. 🤦🏻‍♂️

My moto g 2014 is faster than that shit 😂

I despise the glare screen. I text a lot, mail a lot. I'm always on social media which is mostly static. Even if there's a video on social media, I just want to know what it's saying. Good refresh rate and high res built-in camera are nice but if I have to sacrifice battery life and strain my eyes, I'd say it's an acceptable tradeoff. Honestly speaking, I miss my old Nokia but can't use because of the lack of wifi, internet messaging, social media and decent email client. If I could get all that with the battery life of an old Nokia why wouldn't I buy that? I obviously don't want to buy a prototype though.

But the fact it can play video like that is super!

This is a great first step! Being able to see your screen in strong sunlight...... brilliant! 2 weeks battery between charges.... wicked! It can only get better and faster and who knows, even full colour E-Ink might be on the cards. This has to be the future of phones!

+Gear Tech Stuff The future of displays is MicroLED it has all the benefits of OLED (which is currently the best display tech if you do not include the "Burn In" issues) such as being able to turn off individual pixels to achieve deep blacks which also saves power as parts of the screen shut off. It doesn't have problems that OLED has called "Burn In" where organic materials in OLED weaken and get damaged making parts of the display stay on permanently white and the ghosting issues with OLED and it refreshes faster than OLED so you can get a faster refreshing screen and all while consuming less power than OLED

Yeah that's what I was saying, it's pretty impressive that it plays any type of video at all. If it got 2-3x faster it may be tempting in place of oled or IPS because of the insane battery life E-ink brings; it's an exciting prospect.

@@zahidshabir4038 ya but I mean how much battery life are we talking with microled? I couldn't imagine a display that creates light lasting aslong as E-ink does. I'd like to see E-ink technology explored a bit more personally; until we can create batteries the size we need and have them hold exponentially more power, or connect every device to a wireless power source permanently, E-ink may still be useful.

Yeah, there you go! perfect example of the flexibility of smartphone tech + epaper. There's definitely a market for it, but it needs to improve.

I want to thumb this up more than once. Great for gps on my bike.

its like 2 FPS. lol

I think everyone's missed the point that this phone is fully featured Android with insane battery life, and it's 300$ unlocked. Meaning no 2 year plan and much cheaper than any flagship.

Exactly! If you have your navigation data on the device, you'll never get lost even without an actual data connection!

Yyeesssss

agree I think my bf would be so happy to have it coz he doesn't care to stay in phone too much time and works on computer and he has always battery dead so for him would be just perfect and for his eyes specially he told me that he would take a Nokia 3100 if it wasn't for WhatsApp and work sooo that's a great step im happy e ink is evolving

Pretty cheap for a phone. I just spent double that on a new budget phone. OnePlus 6T with 256gb storage and 6gb ram. And the one plus 6t has great battery but not the kind that let's me read all day, do work on my phone, and read/respond to emails all day. The E-ink display is perfect for business people or serious students that could get work done while mobile. Also probably good for travelling, that's the perfect 2nd phone to have and still make calls or have a low power consumption yet clear enough screen in direct sunlight. Idk, I could see myself using this phone a lot and my main traditional phone just for when I care to actually watch a video or snap a good photo.

If it was half the price I'd buy it as a work phone, but 300 is too much

Like $50

Couple of points to note. Most batteries power curve is non-linear. So the first few percent drop off quite quickly but it levels out a bit. But more importantly heavy use of e-ink will use the battery up. So playing video on it etc. But general use will not. Emails, reading books etc. For most use of the phone, other than large dynamic screen updates, e-ink uses far less battery power so will last a lot longer.

Jimi Viita-aho I feel like it should be probably be worth a hundred and 50 bucks not 300 that’s insane

Price need to be lower .. and it can be blockbuster .. 👍👍 it seems they have stole my idea .. 👋😉😉

+ and give it a shock proofing as well. so it could be a survival device for camping, long road trips, people who work outdoors in rough environments, ect. even then though...maybe worth 200. certainly not 300 though.

Lol true

That's literally the type of person this phone would be for tho. Obviously it isnt meant to compete with high end phones out today - it's for the person that doesnt need all those bells and whistles because they're barely ever on their phone anyway. I admit that $100 would be a more suitable price, but some people want to stay connected more than a dumbphone allows for (quick searches for things on Google/Wikipedia, etc on ocassion) yet don't need all the excess. This would be more than sufficient to go camping/hiking, etc....the types of things where a person would wanna be in the moment and wouldn't be on their phone all the time anyway but may still need it. That said, again, $100 would be perfect.
