TL;DR

• Xteink has launched the X4, a tiny e-reader that magnetically attaches to your phone.
• It skips premium features like a touchscreen and front light, but delivers true pocketability.
• The X4 is available now for $69 from Xteink’s website.

Chinese startup Xteink is after a spot in readers’ pockets. Today, the brand introduced its newest device, the Xteink X4, a tiny and extremely affordable e-reader designed to snap onto the back of your phone. The device lacks some premium specs but offers a unique level of portability and a fantastic price tag.

The X4 weighs just 74 grams and measures 114 × 69 × 5.9mm, making it roughly the footprint of a stack of credit cards. It features a 4.3-inch E Ink display rated at 220ppi, which is softer than the 300ppi panels found on most mainstream e-readers, but the X4 is meant for quick reading breaks rather than extended binge sessions.
