Xteink is coming with a backlit option soon.
Be aware though they're trying to block third party software and their own sucks badly. I don't understand why they try to block this because it makes their hardware actually worth buying.

The official hardware (if you buy through their website or amazon) is not blocked. Only Aliexpress offerings.
But yes, they are coming with a FRONTlit option. Although it'll also have a touchscreen and no front buttons.
I'm hoping maybe in a year or so they make an actual successor with the same button layout, no touchscreen (or with a touchscreen but still with all the buttons) and a better chipset (though nothing major, what the X3 has is enough).
And yes I meant front light sorry. I didn't know that one won't have buttons.
While there is an "unlock" option, it seems it is strongly implied that you should stick to mainstream custom firmware or risk getting stuck with a firmware forever [0].
