The E-Ink Smartphone - One Charge Lasts Two Weeks

2019-06-02
okay so I know nothing about this smartphone that's in front of me Willie do set this up he ordered it up apparently inside this box is an e-ink smartphone which is like how does why does that how does that exist why does it exist so many questions yank of course the screen that's in like the kindle e-book reader it reflects light rather than rather than projecting light so it could be good for eye fatigue battery life could have some crazy battery life the Box very nondescript just this little logo right here it's a prototype whoa whoa power off so it's really given me Kindle vibes here that is so big very contrast if I could get into this the outside of it feels like a smartphone from like 2012 something like that like an early galaxy device but it is sort of modern because there's a type-c USB connector on it a traditional headphone jack SIM card tray so is it on right now oh I see the problem though it's this it's the speed jack to go from screen to screen as a whole just like on an e-reader is this Android well maybe we should just bring well in Britain well you're coming into the show mr. e-ink smartphone the founder of the company well the company is actually called King row the King row k1 a smartphone for optimized eye health so they're playing up the angle yo you're worried about your eyes mm-hmm you're damaging your eyes all the light is coming in yeah the blue light this of course you can stare at it forever go ahead yeah exactly I'm I'm not even tired all right so I'll give us the breakdown well since you're the founder of the company so it is running Android Android 8.1 nice it's got a 3100 milliamp battery that must last forever on this screen yeah so this claims to last for two weeks in one charge whoa yeah two weeks can this play video it could play video yeah where where are the apps how do I like all inked I Inc displays it's you know now you make an excuse as well yeah hang on a second let me ask something is it so slow because of the screen only or is it the processor as well what's it say yeah that's true mtk six seven six three see I don't know if the processor is slow or if the display is slow here but displays on ink is typically it's a whole yeah cuz the rank has to refresh the whole thing even on scrolling I guess it's a whole new fresh situation so let's go Raptors know which is your favorite logo classic that's so easy from you okay how about you I like this one remember this come on this guy cuz it looks so funny this guy yeah the Raptor spy yeah let's bring up a Lulay derp video why don't we you see what's happening to the video here it looks fine it's gotta be polished you know what I mean I just I just don't will are you insane what do you mean are you out of your mind it's a display that's battery life okay hang on hang on dual-sim somebody who reads a lot on their phone probably somebody who how much is this 300 u.s. hey it's a phone smart phone you know okay well we can't do this these people these people matter too much well we can't do this what do you mean we can't do it to them we can't pretend any longer you can't pay $300 for this well there are some people who would like to have a heating display the blue light that's a big thing I get it I'm not I don't like the blue light either but if I'm gonna I can't be the same price as an actual smartphone yeah maybe the price is a little high or it's double its double what I think it will have to be like I could see keeping this beside your bed for example maybe you are really worried about your eye health like a dummy folder so so you would pick this up prior to bed and you'd be like look it's tea time I'm relaxing chamomile chamomile chamomile that lets go chamomile and this is your nighttime phone mm-hmm the move only makes sense if you're mostly reading at night it's like 15 10 FPS I'm glad it exists yeah I don't know if that makes you happy I'm glad it exists yeah it's it's a cool little product yet 400 hours standby time allows you to read longer anti-glare glass enables you to see the screen more clearly the screen like looking at it dude if I had to do a lot of reading on my phone like a lot yeah I was hoping this could be a waterproof I'm not really sure if it is maybe take it out for camping you know going out there in the Sun hiking like I mean this would be great for you know reading out in the open the Sun the only thing this is good for is reading and we have readers that are cheap and light and readily available alright maybe the camera will be able to save it what year is it well it's so weird that I think this product is basically ridiculous but I like the fact that it exists that's where I'm in the weird zone like you don't ever want to discourage some new take and it's obviously a new take this idea and and and sometimes you wonder if you are really capable of perceiving all the potential customers and their issues and why this might be useful to them do I mean we sit here we try we go okay what if you're you have this condition in your eyes and like maybe for someone this is exactly what they needed their eyes only see in contrast or what they're so sensitive to light they're like they're like thank God a smartphone I can actually use it all $2.99 is the entry price and they sold 66 out of 400 and then the eventual price is 350 I can't recommend people I'm easing up but I can't recommend people spend that kind of money on this kind of product unless you have a very specific reason ailment even if you could make the case you would get so sick of making the case to everyone I never thought I'd be interacting with Android YouTube on an e-ink display it's a fun thing it's got a crazy battery life it is not a replacement for a modern smartphone in my opinion okay all I can agree with but it's fun yes it's a bit of fun let's like we're lightening up so you guys can lighten up - everyone's gonna lighten up it's a bit of fun let's just lighten up
