I read manga on the Hisense Touch which has a somewhat small screen, making it very hard to read some manga. At first, I thought the Touch just had really bad display sharpness but then I realized most scans are just too low-res.

For some manga, I need to hold my phone like 2 inches away from my eyes which is horrible and very damaging for my eyesight, so I was wondering if there’s a manga reader app out there that upscales manga/reduces noise as you read (using something like waifu2x)

I found this feature request for Tachiyomi but it was quickly turned down and as such my expectations are quite low, but I figured I’d ask anyway

    I honestly don’t know any manga reader that does that, particularly considering that upscaling is relatively intensive. What about getting an old Samsung tablet with a 2084x1536 resolution? A Galaxy Tab S5 nowadays is quite cheap and still powerful enough.

      Alright, thanks, I’m not sure what I’m going to do but I’ll see.

        Unless you want to mess around with something like this, your current best option is probably to manually upscale things yourself using something like waifu2x and then repack everything into your own .CBZ archives.
