TL;DR

• DASUNG has teased a new Not-eReader Revolutionary Edition, expected to come in 7.8-inch and 10.3-inch models.
• The devices are claimed to feature a 50Hz E Ink refresh rate and run Android.
• Pricing, launch date, availability, and processor details remain unannounced.

DASUNG is gearing up for a new addition to its Not-eReader lineup, teasing what it calls the Revolutionary Edition. The China-based e-ink specialist hasn’t released official specifications or a launch date yet, but early reports suggest the company could be preparing to push its e-paper tech further than before. The new lineup is set to include two models, a 7.8-inch “078” and a 10.3-inch “103.” The devices are teased as boasting a 50Hz refresh rate, a claim that, if accurate, would represent a significant step forward for E ink responsiveness. Smoother scrolling and less ghosting are hot-ticket upgrades and would certainly give the DASUNG devices an edge over current offerings.
