I maybe should have clarified myself better.
I have a B&W Clara HD, so no color to compare.
However (and I preface this with the note that I’ve had the 11 Plus tablet for ~1 day), I love this thing.
It’s no powerhouse, it’s not a top-line SD 8 or anything. It’s a mid-line MTK G100 SOC with 8GB RAM.
That said it’s easily performant enough for my usage, which is media consumption.
The screen is the star of the show, and it’s frankly awesome… if you are looking for a matte finish. I have a matte plastic (TPU or whatever) screen protector on the OP12 phone that I <3 so much, and this tablet screen is very similar in the overall finish. Very little “graininess” or whatever that tends to happen, so it is a very fine grain matte surface. The display has great saturation and color, but it is an LCD so there are limits to viewing angle and black contrast. If you’re looking for OLED deep black, it’s not like that, but it is very good for what it is.
The “color modes” are awesome, but again, I have no color e-ink to compare. From what I’ve seen in reviews and videos, it’s very comparable to color e-ink in overall look. But the resolution is much higher, as well as framerate, obviously. When you turn it to the B&W option, not only does it obviously make everything greyscale, but the white colors get shifted to a more neutral off-white that mimics e-ink background really well.
The only thing that is missing for me, is fingerprint reader. :|
Overall, I’m very happy with the idea. I may swap out to the phone in the future, when I get sick of the OP12, because then I’ll likely start paring down my online-ness and having the screen won’t be as necessary. Hopefully the cameras don’t suck too much. :)
Oh, also, it’s nearly a 12" screen, in actuality, so it’s not small.
Let us know your thoughts, I have the Kobo Libre colour.
I’d like a 9-10" tablet with the oled backed screen
