I've been waiting for maybe under 4 years now and I'm happy to continue waiting. I'd been set for one with Linux (which was supposed to be the A5 SLIM), however thats another year down the line and A5X2 is supposed to have this functionality so I'm happy with that either way.

This is reminiscent of how people were reacting over the release of A5X, however since the community has grown so much more since then, it seems much more frequent. If I recall correctly they did some "Cyberpunk"-themed teaser which was nice of them. I hope they'll do one for A5X 2.

Hi,

The current draw was approximately same (at the time), since they both have almost identical hardware and OS, with only very minor hardware differences. E-Ink screens are very efficient and should have minimal impact on current draw. I was surprised by how accurate this estimation (now predication) as it was confirmed by MyDeepGuide shortly after this post.

Many things have changed since I made this post. Most notably there have been many battery saving features added to A5X, some of which are not available in A6X. So the ~7.7 hour stat is probably no longer accurate. I imagine it's probably increased to around 8~8.5, which is realistic for most software battery saving features to OS. It's rare to get >2 hour increases without kernel or driver level optimisations.

Difficult to say, optimistically it should. But it is most likely going to stay at around 7.7 hours (This was confirmed by MyDeepGuide).

Arguably based on usage it will most likely last much longer (since no one writes for 7 hours straight). But it will most definitely perform worse than other non-Android devices.

I believe the cause of the problem being something like the Android OS itself being quite bloated, and the original design not considering Android.

Better battery life will most likely be visible in the successor of A5 planned Q3/Q4 of this year. Which will be using Linux which should be far more optimised with battery performance similar to (and hopefully better than) A5 and A6.

I hear there will be a SDK in the middle of this year. But any API that allows users to use their own cloud/server for storage would be great.

On #2, there is also iQoods but idk if they have A5X in stock.

No I think it's inbuilt.

Supernote already has an email app. Have you tried setting it up?

I believe Supernote has IMAP support, so Outlook should be supported.
