More than a decade after entering the global smartphone market, OnePlus is pulling back. And at a time when most consumer electronics are seeing RAM & storage-related price hikes, Xteink has made a bit of a splash with its cheap, small, and honestly barely functional eBook readers that are made more useful with third-party firmware.But just because buyers are attracted to the dirt cheap models doesn’t mean there’s not room for improvement, so it’s interesting to see reports that the company could be preparing to launch models with some of the features we often find on bigger, pricier models. At least two new models are rumored: an Xteink X4 v2 that has the same 4.3 inch screen as the original, but a larger battery, and a Xteink X4 Pro that brings more upgrades.via /r/XTRinkHere’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.Xteink X4 Pro could bring a front-lit touchscreen display and bigger battery to the surprisingly popular 4.3 inch eReader. No word on whether it’ll still support third-party CrossPoint Reader firmware that actually makes the X4 useful though. www.reddit.com/r/XTEINK/com…[image or embed]— Liliputing (@liliputing.bsky.social) July 17, 2026 at 3:11 PMAYANEO Konkr Pocket Advance is an upcoming handheld game console that looks a lot like the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
