Is there any explanation that e-Ink smartphones are announced but hardly any hit the (European) market, esspecially not with features one would take for granted, e.g. ability to access Google play?

Is there a similiar situation for conventional smartphones or other non-conventional prototypes or announcements, where I just do not take notce of?

dual screen smartphone are great. Shame that there are no more manufacturer doing this. Hisense is not even trying selling it in europe, and it's hard to get one with google apps and full function.

As far as I'm aware the Hisense A6 does not have access Google Play. It also has a frontlight.

Correct. There is a post by someone who bought it and tried, and after much research and trying gave up on trying to install Google Play as it is blocked.

The YotaPhone 2 was the first and last e-ink phone that I've used, even taking into account that I only spent $180 on it. Unless you're a sloth, using an e-ink screen to do smartphone things like surfing the web will drive your patience FAST.

Tengo un yotaphone 3 y un onyx boox max 2.
El onyx va muy lento, pero el yotaphone 3, con una app de espejo no oficial.(yotamirror) podras navegar por la web, y ver videos casi como en lcd.
yo no noto la diferencia, es casi igual de rapido en el yotaphone 3.Videos sin saltos.
En el onyx navegar es lento.(como en una tableta de 150€) y los videos se ven a saltos,muy mal,
yo casi no la uso.
