Very curious to hear experiences from anyone who has one of Hisense's e-ink phones. I recently bought a Boox android e-reader in this form factor, but I was eyeing this phone!
I'm a happy user of Boox Nova Air, this is news to me. Has anyone sued Boox? I'm looking at a new device, maybe an Air 3, but I do not want to get one if I'm subsidizing their legal costs.
Is it so incredibly important that it has to be said every time the brand is mentioned? Boox devices are good, and I don't think there is any other hardware that compares to what they offer.
I have a HiSense HiReader Pro that I picked up right when it came out. It's absolutely loaded with nonsense + makes zillions of requests to Chinese IPs and it takes ages to figure out how to disable / block it all.
It also only works on a single GSM band in the US (which to be fair, I knew before I bought it), but I was hoping that single band would be usable.
I went back to using a Kindle because the experience is so much better all around. Vaguely intrigued by the new Boox Palma though.
I was briefly looking at the Boox Palma - which appeared to be an e-ink smartphone. I then discovered that the marketing page never mentions 4G or 5G support - because it doesn't actually have a cellular modem.
I can see how most people would take that foregranted. Ouch.
