Pretty decent unless there's a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don't work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don't work great on any Android phone either lol).
Feels sluggish at times but that's just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that's also an e-reader.
If you need a good read, I highly recommend "Deep Space Nine: Millennium" trilogy. Weyoun is the big bad, naturally, and he's got all the smarm we know and love with a heaping helping of religious zealotry on top (he's literally Kai Weyoun in the book and is the combined worst parts of Kai Winn and Weyoun (except Weyoun 6).
I've always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.
Literally me for decades. My astigmatism wasn't diagnosed until 2-3 years ago despite yearly (or semi-yearly) visits to the optometrist. Thought that was just how lights looked in the dark lol.
I've gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.
I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one "distraction" the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it's got an e-ink screen).

I'm just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆
I'm sure we're past that now and firmly in the "you're just gonna have to deal with it" phase.
Thanks. Now I'm gonna start calling AI news summaries "tAIbloids" and make fun of the people who use them. 😆
Mine is also from the "Born to be a Bureaucrat" song but it's the "born to be all obsessive and snotty. I made my friends and relations fill long applications to get into my tenth birthday party" part.


...it's a suppository.
