Xteink X4 Pro: Tiny E-Reader Adds Touchscreen and Front Light
Xteink has released its pocket-sized X4 Pro e-reader, featuring a touchscreen and front light. The compact device aims to enhance the reading experience for users on the go.
Xteink, a Chinese hardware manufacturer, has launched the X4 Pro, an updated version of its popular compact e-reader. The new model addresses user feedback by incorporating a touchscreen and a front-facing light.
The company first gained attention for its extremely small e-readers, designed to fit in a wallet or attach magnetically to a smartphone. These devices, including the prior X3 and X4 models, allow for reading during brief waiting periods. However, earlier versions were noted for their clunky button-based navigation.
The X4 Pro aims to improve usability with the addition of a touchscreen. The device maintains its ultra-portable form factor, weighing 72 grams and measuring 5.95mm thin, similar to its predecessor. The integrated front light also enables reading in low-light conditions, enhancing its versatility.
These upgrades position the X4 Pro as a more capable device, potentially serving as a primary e-reader rather than just a secondary, on-the-go companion. The combination of its small size and enhanced features is expected to appeal to readers prioritizing portability and ease of use.
