This tiny, beloved e-reader is getting a successor that runs on Android
Xteink S4 doubles the battery and ditches Linux for Android 11.
Xteink is reportedly developing an Android e-reader, though it is not yet available in the United States. According to Good E-reader, Xteink has launched a new tiny e-reader called the Xteink S4, which runs on Android 11. Previously, Xteink's e-readers operated on a proprietary Linux system. However, with the switch to Android, users can now download apps for Kindle and Kobo, expanding the range of available books.
The S4 features a 4.3-inch E Ink touchscreen with a 220 ppi resolution, 2GB of RAM, and a 32GB SSD. Notably, it includes a front light with adjustable cool and warm light and a USB-C port, distinguishing it from the previous X4 Pro model. While the Xteink X4 e-reader currently runs on a Linux system, the S4's Android system allows users to access all Kindle books and sync their reading progress across devices.
Regrettably, the Xteink S4 e-reader remains unavailable in the United States for now, as it is only available for preorder in China for approximately $50 USD.
