An E-Ink Android Would Only Need Charging Once a Week

At first idea , an Es - ink smartphone sound like a painful estimation . Ugh , all that lag . But think about the light weight , low price , and insane battery life , and you could see why eInk , the company behind the screen in Nooks and Kindles , is bear on its new prototype phone hard .

Laptop take a look at this prototype — which as yet does n’t have a name — at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . It explains :

[ We ] were blow away by just how weak it was , about how sharp schoolbook looked on its screen and how long it could last … Perhaps because it can use a smaller shelling or because it has an older sleeve central processor – Charbonnier said it has a Qualcomm A5 chip – the consultation aim weighed a mere 80 grams and felt as spark as composition in our hand … The twist is designed to last at least a week on a charge and cost cost as fiddling as 150 euro unsubsidized .

Sounds good , huh ? run an of age version of Android—2.3!—it had a fistful of apps , but that at least shows that an e - ink earphone is potential . Of course , it would be a world of via media ; while battery life is a major draw , that ’s not much utilization if the matter is riddled with so much lag that you wantto stamp its little screen to smithereens :

Navigating between menus was painfully irksome , and though the machine plunk for multitouch gesture such as speck - to - rapid growth , it was n’t always responsive . There was also significant lag when redrawing the screen , which is always a problem on E Ink screens but was peculiarly sluggish on this machine .

But , hey , this is a validation - of - concept , not a finished Cartesian product . eInk ’s alternative offering is along the lines ofthat Yota treble - cover speech sound : it ’s study offering replacing east - ink back cover for phones that could be somewhere around $ 50 . That ’s a corking idea , and swop a second screen off and on to your phone as need dictate actually sound quite sensible . Would you be interested ? [ Laptop ]
