Dasung is releasing an e-reader that can play video

September 26, 2018 By Michael Kozlowski 7 Comments

Dasung has been releasing E Ink secondary monitors for a number of years. They draw power by being plugged into a computer via a series of cables, including HDMI. The company is breaking the mold and is going to be starting an Indiegogo campaign for an e-reader that can play video and also function as a secondary monitor.

The new Dasung product features a 7.8  E-ink Screen Carta HD display with  300 ppi, Cold & Warm Front-light, Android 6.0, 5300mA Battery, Quad Core Processor, 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

The one interesting aspect about this e-reader is that can run Android apps and will be bundled with Google Play. This will give users the ability to install Kindle, Kobo, Nook or Moon+ Reader, in addition to hundreds of digital comic or manga apps. The Dasung will also be shipped with default e-reading software if you want to use the stock app.

The video below shows off some of the things that this e-reader is capable of. It remains to be seen if it can play video on its own, or if it has to be connected to your PC via the HDMI cable.

A full list of specs will be available once the crowd funding campaign has started.

    This seems to be the first device that can play video at a framerate of 20 – 25 fps. But to be honest it still shows a lot of ghosting. So in this regard it is comparable with the likebook mars. IMO the video is much more a kind of benchmark so that I can image browsing the internet, reading in social media channels and from time to time watching a khan acadamy video will be very good. Let´s see where the price will be. I expect it to be in the range of 300 – 400 $. Early bird 329 $ and normal price 379 $

    That battery!

    The display is a bit small, I prefer 10.3″ display although it would be more expensive. On the other hand, no news of ClearInk.

    Apparently it will somehow sync to your phone and you can make phone calls on it.

    I’ve just read the twitter tweet. Yes you are right but I think it is just a software solution and with splashtop for example you might do the same with the likebook mars.

    They told me the space got quickly competitive, so they decided against it.

    That’s a joke. The only 13.3 inch Android device is onyx max.
