MIDIA InkPhone Simply Lasts Longer

MIDIA InkPhone Simply Lasts Longer
Mar-13-14
A back-to-basics combination of an eReader and cell phone, the Onyx MIDIA InkPhone prototype can last for more than two weeks on a single charge.

The MIDIA InkPhone does not have all the features of typical smartphones and eReaders, but what it does do, it does well. The InkReader eschews LCD screens in favor of a 4.3-inch, front-lit E Ink display, which uses very little power—lasting more than two weeks off a single charge of its 1,000mAh battery. The device is also equipped with an inexpensive Rockchip CPU, a low amount of RAM and 4GB of onboard storage, with the option to add up to 32GB more with a microSD card.

Although the device does have some limitations (animated eReader pages may not run well and Android apps can only be accessed after the user has installed the APK) the eReader app performed well in tests, making the InkPhone an affordable option for consumers simply looking for a solid reading device with the added bonus of phone capabilities (or the other way around).
