Hands-on with Huawei MatePad Paper: E-Ink display on a versatile tablet
The Huawei MatePad Paper is what happens when E-Ink meets Android, and it's honestly not a bad experience. It's costly, though.
If you've ever used an e-ink display, it was probably on something like an Amazon Kindle. They have a few advantages over normal displays, though they're very specific. They're capable of wide viewing angles with a really low power draw and exceptional daylight visibility, but the advantages stop right about there. Aside from their intended purpose — reading text — e-ink displays are not really good for anything else. They have low refresh rates, image ghosting, and are typically monochromatic. Huawei recently launched the MatePad Paper, but the interesting thing is that it runs HarmonyOS, meaning that you can sideload Android apps on it, too.
