On the Xteink X3 (and why X4 size is probably better for most)

Thoughts on the Xteink X3 e-ink pocket reader after daily driving it, including why most people realistically don't need to splurge on it over the Xteink X4. This comparison will also be helpful for X4 owners deciding if they really need to upgrade. The gray unit is an Xteink X3 on stock firmware, the black unit is an Xteink X4 on Crosspoint. The phone is an iPhone 16. 00:00 to the point 00:19 main upside, and a caveat 00:46 biggest downgrade? 01:23 price 01:37 size and comparisons 02:13 reading/firmware/Crosspoint 02:27 important note on magnets 02:55 underrated upgrade! 03:19 gyroscope 03:43 time and battery indicator 04:05 more of the same? Corrections: 01:27 Note Xteink has dropped the device price so they’re the same, but I’d argue the cost of buying a dongle still makes the X3 a bit more expensive overall IN THIS VIDEO ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Xteink X3 on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aLz8hn * Xteink X4 on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4cEmodJ * My top suggestion for buying one, if they ship to you.
