LilyGo has introduced the T-Deck Max, a mobile device that combines e-ink display technology with cellular connectivity options. The manufacturer lists the product at 110 USD (about $110).
Affordable e-ink smartphone features ESP32-S3, LoRa, and optional 4G for tinkerers
The hardware centers on an ESP32-S3 main board and features a 3.1-inch e-ink panel with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. It includes a built-in keyboard, microphone, speaker, and a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Connectivity options prioritize LoRa for independent data transmission alongside an included GPS module. A 4G connection is available as an optional add-on to the core hardware configuration.
The device does not run Android and appears aimed at tinkerers rather than general consumers. Users can program the system using Arduino or PlatformIO IDE environments instead of standard mobile operating systems.
