In tests, the iReader C6 is as smooth and even better than some black-and-white e-Readers. The iReader C6 uses a quad-core CPU with iReader’s exclusive extreme refresh mode, which is said to improve the refresh performance by 50%. I was thinking the response time of the color screen is slower than that of the black and white screen, but the page-turning speed of the iReader C6 is amazing!
However, for most text-only novels, black and white screens are actually more suitable, so the iReader C6 provides two modes, color and black-and-white, the text has a higher resolution in the black-and-white mode.Īnother important factor in the e-Reader experience is the speed of page-turning. But in terms of clarity, it’s a far cry from the LCD. The display effect of iReader C6 is closer to that of printed stuff, it has a softer display and softer colors, which makes it more eye-friendly. IReader C6 uses E-Ink’s latest printing color technology: through the color filters, it can display 4096 kinds of colors, makes the screen look soft, warm and not dazzling Īlthough due to the filters, the color screen needs a tiny amount of built-in light to assist the display, but the color display effect is still up to the expected level. The iReader C6 has a narrow bezel and a thin body, making it extremely light to hold in your hand. Without the color screensaver, everyone would think it was just another black-and-white e-Reader. The iReader C6 looks the same as other e-Readers, with a white body, a red power button in the upper right corner, and a gray text logo on the bottom of the front and the middle of the back. This post is based on a beta version of the iReader C6. Before that, you can place pre-order orders on March 25 and March 31 on their JD store. The latest news is that the earliest shipping date will be April 30. The iReader C6 is currently available for pre-order and is still some time away from shipping. – This article originally appeared on Caixin Global.IReader C6 Quick Review – The First Full-Color e-ReaderĪ month ago, I wrote a post about a possible full-color Kindle, and today I received a message from a friend in China that a Chinese e-Reader manufacturer, iReader, has released a color e-Reader, the iReader C6.
