    I wonder how well Android 14 works with an e-ink device; specifically the animations.

    I personally think this is a very stylish device, albeit this could be nostalgia on my part.

      Disable animations for a much faster experience

      Make sure developer options are enabled. If they’re not, go to Settings > About phone, then tap on Build number several times to enable it

      Go to Settings > Developer options, and scroll down to Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale.

      Tap on each of the animation options and turn them off.

        I am assuming this has already been configured by the OEM.

        But there are other factors as well beyond “cosmetic” animations. For example the UX around search functions in the OS (e.g. in settings) or certain launcher configuration settings. For example, for an e-ink device, I am assuming you would want to disable folder functionality on your home screen, only allowing individual app icons (“opening” a folder with apps would be slow).

          Einks can be fast when they want to be. Some can even show video pretty well.
