Those old Nokias and blackberries had CPU’s that are, in all honesty, more comparable to graphing calculator CPU’s than what’s in our current smartphones. They also didn’t generally need to maintain a connection to multiple different types of cellular networks like modern phones do.

Thats true, and thats one of the reasons we have less and less battery life, hence, if an E-ink display can give me days of battery life I would absolutely take that, even if it gives me less “features “.

There was actually a phone that came out a long time ago (I think it was called the yotophone) that had a normal screen on the front, and en e-ink screen on the back. It was pretty neat and allowed you to customize the look of the back of your phone.

Yes I did see that a couple years ago, you could even set designs on the back with the E-ink because it never used power when idle so made a cool way of using and demonstrating the tech
