    There’s a company called Onyx that makes Android e-ink tablets, some of which have color screens. You can check out a review of one here: https://www.androidpolice.com/boox-tab-ultra-c-review/

    I haven’t spent much time with the color ones but my understanding is that the display has a slow response time and some ghosting, much like its B&W counterparts. I’ll be interested to see how this phone works with typical smartphone workloads, like live scrolling.

    Inside me, there are two wolves. One wants 120+hz refresh rates. The other wants e-ink.

    Edit: I see on their specs page they list a 90hz refresh rate. I’m not entirely clear what kind of tech is in here. Perhaps one layer is a traditional LCD with matte coating?

      It’s an IPS LCD with a matte glass display and a slightly reflective base layer for improved sunlight view ability with less backlight power required. similar to the “transflexive” displays that were popular some years ago.
