Looks great but I have trust issues. I would consider if it didn't have microphone (it has 4) and if it supported working offline.
A freaking eInk tablet with microphones what the hell lol

But what's interesting is that if you hold the extra button it launches into a notes app which has dictation and unlike googles own dictation it does a pretty good job at capturing both chinese and english without needing to switch.
I didn't try it for longer than a couple of sentences, but in general it's an interesting idea. It does have a lot of very nice eink optimizations that other devices don't have.
Contrary to huawei however this device has a snapdragon and allows unlocking the bootloader. There is however no dev community around this device and I don't feel like fixing the headphone amp.

I have a Kobo Mini with a 5" screen that's perfectly pocketable, but it's on its last legs, and the 2012-era e-ink lag is noticeable.
I have looked at modern options but they're all 6" minimum with a lot of bezel, which means they won't fit.
