Izixhobo eziphathwayo namhlanje zichasene noko zazikho kwiminyaka emithandathu okanye esixhenxe eyadlulayo. Ngaphambili, bajonge iimobiles ezinobunzima obuncinci, zincinci, kwaye ibhetri yahlala ixesha elide. Kule mihla imeko ichasene ngokupheleleyo: ii-smartphones ziya zikhula ngokukhula, kwaye iibhetri zihlala zincinci nangaphantsi. Ngubani owayeza kuthetha ukuba namhlanje kunokubakho isixhobo esinje, esele sikhona kwi-Mobile World Congress 2013 e-Barcelona, kwaye ibhetri yayo ihlala iveki, kodwa iveki yangempela. Ngokuqinisekileyo, isenokungabi sisixhobo esinezona mpawu zininzi kwiimarike. Eyona nto ingcono, yintoni ixabisa i-euro ezili-150 kuphela.
I-smartphone inegama, okanye into efana nayo, i-Onyx E Ink Android. Kwaye njengoko ubona ngale nto, uphawu lwayo oluphambili kukuba isikrini sayo senziwe nge-inki ye-elektroniki. Esi sikrini sikuvumela ukuba uhlale iveki ngaphandle kweengxaki, kuba inikezela ngento enokusetyenziswa kakhulu kwamandla, isikrini esikumgangatho ophezulu. Hayi inkcazo ephezulu, kungekhona iteknoloji ye-LED, akukho nto injalo, ayisiyiyo isikrini sombala, kodwa simnyama nesimhlophe. Khumbula ukuba iziboniso ze-inki ze-elektroniki zinokuba nemibala emibini kwi-pixel nganye, ngoko kuthetha, emnyama namhlophe. Ichitha kuphela amandla ukusuka kwelinye ilizwe ukuya kwelinye, oko kukuthi, ukusuka kumhlophe ukuya kumnyama, okanye ngokuchaseneyo.
I-Onyx E Ink ye-Android nayo inexabiso elimangalisayo, ixabisa kuphela i-euro ezili-150. Nangona kunjalo, isabambelele kancinci kwixesha elidlulileyo, kunye ne-Android Gingerbread njengenkqubo yayo yokusebenza. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba kunjalo, kunokuba nomdla kwabo bafuna kuphela isixhobo esikwaziyo ukusebenzisa izicelo eziyimfuneko namhlanje, njenge-imeyile kunye ne-WhatsApp ngokwayo, kodwa oko kunika ibhetri engenakulinganiswa kunye nokuzimela ngexabiso elingenakulinganiswa.
NgokukaXataka, yinyanga ephelayo http://www.xatakandroid.com/moviles-android/onyx-traera-un-android-con-pantalla-e-ink-y-un-mes-de-autonomia kodwa ndicinga ukuba isoftware kufuneka iphuculwe kakhulu. Xa ihamba kakuhle, ngoko akuyi kubakho bani ukuyimisa.
Inyanga enye? Ndihlala ndifunda amangeno e-xataka, kodwa oku kubonakala kungathandeki kum. Nabani na oye waba neselula ye-3G uya kwazi ukuba ibhetri ayihlali ngaphezu kweentsuku ze-2 nokuba awusebenzisi isikrini. Ke uya kundixelela ukuba iqhubeka njani iveki okanye iveki (ngaphandle kokuba isebenza kwi-2G, uqhagamshelo olucothayo). Ngaphandle kwesoftware, kwenzeka ntoni xa kungekho kukhanya?... Mhlawumbi luluvo olulungileyo kubaphulaphuli abathile, kodwa andiboni kwanto kwixesha elizayo ukuba ithathwa njani indawo yeselula yomsebenzisi oqhelekileyo.
Unyanisile, ukuba isikrini asikhanyisanga mva nje ukuba kungabikho kukhanya, ndiyacinga ukuba iya kuba neqhosha elincinci kwisitayile seewotshi zecasio.
Ndicinga ukuba isikrini sikhanyiselwe ngasemva, nangona kunjalo inyanga iya kuba ngaphandle kokuyichukumisa inyanga yonke nakwimo yenqwelomoya XD
