Really like the one-handed phone form factor, but the Box Palma being WiFi only was a deal breaker for me.
Instead I got a Hisense A5 from eBay for ~$130 and after rooting, debloating, and installing E-ink optimized versions of Open source android apps it’s a perfect companion for my Boox Nova Air C. With KOReader syncing across devices.
There’s one called the Light phone and the battery life is below average. The screen is definitely a hog but cell radios can just as easily chew through the battery.
I used to root and unlock bootloaders all the time is it relatively easy for this device does it work on the color version as well? I really want a eink display phone how do you like it?
Bit of warning though, they're using a variant of the A5, not a base A5. The CVE and exploit code in the link should still work (if not patched) but the image files will certainly not, and will fuck up your device if you try to flash images made for a different device, even a variant.
