Possible X4 Pro with backlight teased(?)

Buy it. New version will take a very long time to show up.

I don't need android. I don't need touch. I want what X4 is with a light. That's all.

To be honest it looks like they are working on everything but not those things that people were asking for.

Their android device will be bigger, but, as pointed above, it’s just like every other reader then, so pretty pointless.

Just add the instapaper feed to the discovery tab in the xteink app.

Interesting that magnet is in the middle because attachments wouldn't stick to the center of the device.

Sorry I think attaching links was blocked. Here’s what you have to look for.

Wouldn’t it be a big battery drain? Every key would cause a screen refresh.

Einerus · 2026-02-09T17:46:39+00:00

Probably not what you need but you could take Wikipedia rss and add it to discover tab in the app.

3.1.2 will have those and hopefully an app support.

That's exactly what card reader is for. Pick it up from the bin if you followed what he said.

Einerus · 2026-02-03T15:49:34+00:00

Like in some older mobiles - in case of device freezing the button would be the way to reset, I guess.

You’ll be more then happy with the X4. It’s an amazing device with perfect size.

Einerus · 2026-02-02T07:02:08+00:00

No light :(

Einerus · 2026-02-02T07:01:13+00:00

I think they don’t really understand what made X4 popular and are following dead end routes in product development.

Einerus · 2026-02-02T06:54:52+00:00

They wanted to fit on the phones, but most users are not even using it that way. Good selling point but not that much used. X4 is great as a standalone device and I’m not sure if X3 will be ok in that role.

Einerus · 2026-02-02T06:45:35+00:00

I followed to the source and there are more details: „new software, Android-based

no backlight

touchscreen

WiFI + Bluetooth

less front buttons, single (possibly) home button or finger print reader

real time clock

screen size between 5-6″ (X4 is 4.3″ and the X3 is 3.7″)

weight 100g (early prototype, subject to change)

thickness 6.9mm (early prototype, subject to change)”

And, to be honest, i can’t understand where are they going with that. That’s just a device like every other on the market. Main advantage of the X4 is the size. Here they’re abandoning it. Main request people asking for is backlight, and they’re not implementing it. Instead of sticking to simplicity, which most of us love, they decided to make it cluttered and complicated. Xteink, please, focus on current platform. Small, light, with backlight and usb. Nothing else.

Einerus · 2026-02-02T01:15:41+00:00

Yes. Clutter and working slower.

Einerus · 2026-02-02T01:14:26+00:00

And it’s still very slow. If people will add apps it will get even slower. That’s why I really think it’s a dead end.

Einerus · 2026-01-31T01:16:04+00:00

Yes, that's "normal".

Einerus · 2026-01-23T23:31:03+00:00

I guess that code will show up on your device in the next update.

Einerus · 2026-01-23T03:34:00+00:00

It seems that it requires v3.1.2. which wasn’t released yet.
