At the same time, it has better anti-glare ability when facing the light source.īut at night, electronic paper needs other light sources to fill the light. According to calculations, the distance from the screen to the human eyeAt 38.4cm, a single pixel cannot be distinguished, and the display accuracy is slightly lower than that of the iPad (2 64ppi), and it is not as good as the higher-selling Kindle PaperWhite 3 ( 300ppi).īut the advantage of e-paper is that it can adapt to more complex light environments, whether it is under a desk lamp or in the sun, the e-paper screen can remain very The high contrast ensures that the content is clearly visible. Smart X has a resolution of 1872 x 1404 (227ppi). But the obvious disadvantage is that the portability is not as good as that of Kindle, which requires readers to make trade-offs based on their own usage scenarios.

The overall weight is 370g, which is indeed much lighter than the iPad Pro (468g). The exterior of the whole machine is completely wrapped by frosted plastic, without metal or glass. May be due to weight reduction considerations. The bottom of the machine is the speaker and the USB Type-C interface. It may be because Smart X has fewer system levels and is not equipped with a Home button. There is a physical return key at the bottom of the screen, which is similar to the return key on Android. This will reduce the mirror reflection and improve the writing experience of the stylus (expanded later). The front of the whole machine is covered by a layer of frosted material, and there is no gap between the screen and the frame.
