The Fastest EINK Of All Time | Bigme Inknote X Color

Bigme is no stranger to fully-loaded units. And this one seems to take the cake.
It feels strange to think how much faster EINK devices can get.
But the Bigme certainly pushes EINK into an all new realm

Why did you pick a “video” with hardly any movement?

[@Alanananjema]

They keep using the same video for all video demonstrations. It’s a bummer 😡

[@yensteel]

If they show a video of a KZbinr constantly waving his hands, it would easily reveal ghosting. Darker videos would also be a great way to show the worst case scenario.

[@jayvansickle7607]

@@yensteel I saw someone show the video quality on the new Palma…it was really good. (For eink anyway)

[@KillerQ]

@@jayvansickle7607 I absolutely love my Palma. I don’t know if I ever plan on watching a video on it, but for reading sand customization, it’s epic for sure!

[@Djblois1]

The 2 things that are keeping me from these new improved faster e-ink devices. First, they are killing the battery life. Second, they are very fragile. I have the Tab Ultra C. The battery life on it was terrible and the screen cracked by simply being in my schoolbag. Never dropped it or anything like that. Did Bigme improve on either of these faults compared to Onyx?

[@user-uk7wn5ys8q]

The world's slowest video is used to demonstrate video performance? It doesn't make sense, unless it was done on purpose 🤔

[@dcpowered]

This gets me excited for the next e-ink readers until the end of this year! Boox and Kindle!

[@maxence12091994]

I can't wait for kaleido 4!!!!

[@whiteglitch]

not happening

[@maxence12091994]

@@whiteglitch Maybe in two years!

[@yensteel]

The last news about Kaleido 4 was last year, when they announced they want to hire engineers for the next generation. No news or announcements are made so far. Gallery 3 is taking up more attention right now, and companies are betting big on it, even when the tech has a lot of issues at the moment. It might take a few years for devices to come out, or that gallery 3 will be fully usable. My opinion is in the minority, but I don’t think the next generation should focus on higher resolution but focus on light transmission, which results in brighter whites. That is Gallery 3’s selling point. One way is to shrink the borders between the color filters, or improve the color filters itself. Interesting fact, we’re more sensitive to black and whites than color differences in terms of details. That’s why YUV colorspace was invented and why color TV signals are backwards compatible with black and white TV. They use only a sliver of the spectrum for color information. So 150ppi is alright for color, so long as black and white pixels underneath is helping with the details. Edit: to the reply about the comment below, ‘you’re right that cost is a concern. I personally have trouble with Kaleido 3 indoors myself, and the front light drains a lot of power. Hopefully Kaleido is as bright as carta.” KZbin, please stop deleting my harmless comments!!!

[@brownwallet942]

​@@yensteelI'm not a firm believer in Gallery. Firstly, it's more expensive to produce. Secondly, the cheaper Kaleido 3, even with a darker white, is still perfectly readable and in my opinion, has more character in its interpretation of paper because it looks like a textured newspaper or "jeans". The Inkpad Color 3 and the upcoming release of Kobo Colors show that Kaleido 3 can have respectable frontlight brightness, unlike the older Kaleido 3 readers which are dim even in full brightness settings. This new Bigme device is also using a Kaleido 3 technology and is definitely looking good

[@yensteel]

@@brownwallet942 Thank you so much for sharing, you’ve made a good point about cost. I’ll check out the Inknote. Good-reader must have covered it already. I personally have difficulty using my boox with Kaleido 3 indoors without front light, and the front light drains the battery a lot.

[@TheAstronomyDude]

Does the screen survive if you accidentally leave it under direct sunlight? All the panels I've tested for my own product suffer from UV exposure.

[@meurglysiii]

The video you used on it was extremely slow on purpose. I'd like to see it render some usual video.

[@goodereader]

Okay cool

[@technobaat]

Watching from Tab Mini C 😂😂 .

[@trya2l]

@goodereader he has a point, though. Why not show a more challenging video? People rely on these reviews to make an opinion. I use it now, so I know it is capable of rendering complex videos at an acceptable level with some drawbacks. All in all, it's about how much light comes to the screen (sun light is perfect) and knowing you will not go beyond 30 fps. But I think it is still great

[@the.dorgas]

Yeah, I agree. @goodereader since you guys use the same images to test the quality of reading magazines or comic, you guys should have a couple of videos to always use in the next comparisons, gets easier see the difference between the devices. I'm still waiting for a gallery 3 device that isn't slower then my kindle paperwhite 2 from 2014 in at least 8inch screen for comic and manga reading (hope the kindle you guys talked about have this specs)

[@yensteel]

@@technobaatHave you ever gotten the feeling of “wow the colors look so nice” when going back to your phone? It happens a lot here 😂

[@DarthDaddy-cg6ro]

Thanks.

[@hoangho6383]

Reading PDF books does it translate languages ​​like the boox device?

[@burger1113]

Quick question here: I really need my device to be able to connect to mirror to TVs over wire... Does this or any eink device out there offer that? I would buy it in a heartbeat if there was. I honestly don't even need color.

[@bhanuverma4278]

Compare it with onyx boox air 3c please...............

[@noobahoi]

How is this "the fasted Eink of all time". Onyx with BSR is the fasted eink so far. I didn't see any fast 'movement' in your video. Did you get a profit from that video?

[@redknight4805]

Does it allow for an external big storage SD card? If it doesn't have it, to me that's a deal-breaker.

[@Ultrajamz]

Can you draw on pdf and have it sync with pc?

[@igordasunddas3377]

I'm not sure why, but this is the third review, that is kinda really professional and awesome, BUT at the same time seems to display things I want to see the most at the very last.

[@jub8891]

This looks great and seems to be worth the cost. My only question is would it shorten the life of the eink display if you were to watch a lot of videos on it?

[@yensteel]

Technically speaking, constantly activating the eink pixel would degrade its life. But it also depends on whether it is a full black to white full voltage change or something lighter.

[@Kanitokun]

Kaleido 4 should be at least 175ppi of color

[@alessandrodonnarumma649]

Does this device support the app Everand?

[@Matlockization]

I like the manufacturer's attitude. Although there should be power settings like eco, moderate & turbo.

[@draakisback]

For now the note air 3c is enough for me. I'm going to wait to upgrade for a decade or two to see where the tech goes.

[@BrianHallmond]

I had a BigMe color and lovvvvved the feel of it, but the ghosting seemed worse than Boox so I sold it for a Boox Ultra C. 2 weeks later that got a massive update so I was gutted haha. How is the comic experience now compared to boox? Especially with ghosting/lag.

[@Kaminadorr]

i'm on the fence for both of those. Is the Boox Ultra C the most heavyduty of the boox lineup? Thanks

[@gonzalotoscano3310]

Quick question Peter, thinking about buying a new e-note device, got the Remarkable 2 but it's starting to feel slow, between the Bigme inknote color X and the Onyx Boox Note Air 3, which one would you buy? The device on the video looks really nice but so does the Onyx one...

[@goodereader]

Peter does not do any of community or comment management on KZbin He comes into the studio to record videos with his voice, but that's it If you want to reach him directly you have to email him [e-mail] But honestly, you could not go wrong with either one of those. Both Onyx and big me are competing brands with very similar dynamics and features. Neither one of them has an overwhelming Edge on the other Thank you

[@gonzalotoscano3310]

@@goodereader Sorry asked Peter because he is the only one on your team that I know the name of xD Thank you for the reply! Was thinking of the Onyx one but this one looks pretty good too, and the Remarkable is a good device but it feels a bit slow.

[@kdolanjr]

I'd love to see the performance of these 10"+ readers with very large textbook style PDFs. I'd like to see them evaluated for both performance and legibility for text on those without the need to zoom in and pan between columns of text and such.

[@yensteel]

A pdf editor with automatic margin removal AND custom cropping is a must. Not a lot of pdf annotators have it.

[@Natsukashii1111]

It's running android, it should be good enough to read big pdfs that your phone can read

How much does the battery drain in an hour with continuous page flipping?

Battery 4000 mAh to last a week. Although for the price, 2 weeks would be great.

[@phuphugad]

Why are eNotes so god damn expensive??

[@jub8891]

Probably because theyre not mass produced in the same quantities as ereaders, costing more to manufacture

[@goodereader]

This

[@yensteel]

Three reasons, scale, manufacturing infrastructure and techniques, and monopoly/patents. The manufacturing techniques of lcds is much more mature and actively researched than e-ink. To get costs down other corners are cut such as the chipset. That’s not too much of a problem for note taking and reading. People see a device with limited capabilities and intuitively think that it should cost less. So it is not easy to convince buyers unless they know how it specifically benefits and suits them.

[@Quinton118229]

That's too much money,it's a no-go for me. It's not lcd or led or oled,but you want over 700.00 for it. I like eink as much as the next fan,but for this amount,just no

[@SkepticalCaveman]

Sorry, but Kaleido is a dead end. Sticking to B/W until Gallery gets faster.

[@thibaldus3]

Gallery is just too yellowish. I'm using Kaleido ad it's pretty good.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

@@thibaldus3 that is easily fixed with next generation of Gallery. They just have use less yellow pigment, to make the colors correct. Kaleido's colors on the other hand will always be dim, because of the layer and the color resolution will be cut down to a third. Gallery is objectivity superior in quality. I don't care much about speed, since it makes no sense to watch video on Eink anyway, regardless how fast it is.

Actual note taking with real pen paper feel. No distractions with multiple functionalities. Non glare screen Multiple weeks battery life And the benefits are endless. It's a direct replacement for paper. Actual tablets aren't. The use case is different. E-ink tablets aren't for binge watching or playing games.
