So it’s like an e‑ink iPod Touch
I really don’t see the market in this. E‑readers and ink tablets are larger due to reading and writing functions.
If this Boox Palma can not make a phone call or is capable of having a SIM card, it really isn’t a phone but a very small tablet — which would be counter intuitive for reading. You can’t receive SMS messages either. It would be better if it had calling and text message capabilities.
Or alternatively, turn your existing phone screen to black and white mode and delete apps that are non-essential like TikTok, Instagram (if for personal use), Facebook…etc.
boox actually make good Android Eink device. I hv Boox page 7
If you’re tempted, take a look at the Supernote. So much more useful than this… amazing writing experience with extra features.
gonna echo a bunch of people but supper big miss with framing this device as a phone very disingenuous I think to review it as something it is not
this is not a phone
I thought it was a phone with “unattractive” screen so that you wouldn’t want to doom scroll all day but you cant even call or recieve texts… wtf is the point
Bro had better intro for this phone then some flagship devices lol
So it’s an iPod touch with an e‑ink screen?
Having a sim isnt the problem of smartphones… Not having the ability to call or text is a huge miss
I don’t understand the thought process they had making this.
Like they almost made the perfect “phone ass phone”, that has no distractions with internet connection, so you can’t really doomscroll social medias.
But then they also just, don’t let you make phonecalls?
Call me crazy, but I would rather have the ability to make phonecalls, than the camera or the ability to download other apps.
How did they fumble the bag so bad!
Just get a minimalist launcher for andriod like OLauncher, and delete all distracting apps and turn off notifications
My ear perked up with the word iPod. If it would have a standard audio jack with a decent DAC, this would be the end of my search for the replacement of my vintage iPods.
I guess you could set up an automated routine on your phone (like on Samsung, others probably do it too) where the screen is B&W, restricts app use, doesn’t show notifications… Etc etc… to get this effect…
If it doesn’t have a sim card slot, it’s not a phone… So why are you comparing it to a phone?
I fell in love with my boox tablet over the last study year
I would buy it SO FAST if it had a sim slot
There’s a couple of e ink devices with a sim and the ability to make calls
5:39 That Pen Type‑C 👀
Add a SIM card and an excellent camera and you’ve got a phenomenal vacation device.
Nice logic song at intro from 2015 era
yooo, how about an auto-focus episode shot on this?
Wish we can have such a minimalistic outlook on an iPhone through settings.
Title should say “so bad it’s good”
… honest to freakin god you are LOST — go to the library on foot or by bike and open a real book …
The lightphone 3 looks like a great dumb phone. Pricey however.
Why would buy a 6‑inch e‑reader? It defeats its purpose
