Is that the HiSense A9? I was hoping they would release a model with a color eink display and have been eying one since the A5 was introduced but the relatively high price, (because of the eink display) wonky Google playstore support, and low battery capacity kept holding me back. I'd really like to see an eink phone with a week, or longer, stand-by time and think this would be doable with a big battery. The HighSense A9 also doesn't come with an IP rating so be careful with splashes around the pool, the main reason why I'd want one in the first place because of bright sunlight.

Ah, I see. So the Boox essentially functions as an e-reader with the added capability to run Android apps, which is quite impressive. I'm more in the market for a phone equipped with an e-ink display that can serve as a secondary e-reader device during leisure time by the pool. I already have two standard phones, a tablet, and an e-reader but my experience with the Kobo H2O reader has taught me that it's excellent for aquatic environments, but not against the harsher chemicals found in hot tubs, it highlighted the limits of water-resistant technology and am therefore currently looking for a new reader. 😂 🤣 To reduce the number of devices I need to charge, an e-reader with mobile radio and two SIM slots would be best for me. The search continues.
