I had an amazfit smartwatch that used a transflective LCD for its display. It absolutely made sense for that use case. (Running in daylight). .
Maybe this is perfect for "beach reader" ereaders.
- jmcphers 2y agoI still have one of these Amazfit smartwatches (the Bip S). Not only does it get easier to read as it gets brighter outside, the battery life is amazing (easily two weeks) and I can read the time from any angle. The Bip S is getting a little old and it's a bummer to see that Amazfit has joined other manufacturers in mostly optimizing for brightness and color.
- theragra 2y agoMe too. For some reason, I have a soft spot for these displays, also eInk. I've recently bought Hisense hibreak phone just because I am interested in these things.
- naraic0o 2y agoand… how is it? i’m tempted to get one too but privacy concerns are holding me back. how hard is porting lineageOS to a new device? ha.
- theragra 2y agoI mixed up companies. I bought bigme hibreak. And I had Hisense A5 cc some time ago. I used both as a cycling computers, without sim and almost without internet. It is fine, not great yet, but not bad. Just a bit on a slow side. But overall it is a working solution for my goals. Screen seems to be worse for maps then I remember screen from hisense a5cc phone. Maybe it is just my memory, though. Same with battery: it.seems.to be a bit worse then in A5 CC. Overall, I think color eInk technology is not there yet, at least
