Is there auto mode on the video?

In principle, how it is implemented in them, then hell would be with her. But it is a pity, I thought they would bring to mind.

Without a cover?
in a homemade cover. without it, I would have crushed the screen for a long time, or smashed it - there were drops on the floor in the subway and on the tiles in the store (both from the height of the inside pocket with a height of 185). plus a couple more times at home - from the table to the tile, from the nightstand to the parquet ...

Yes, without a case it’s dangerous.
It turns out that the Form has glass on top?
In one of the videos, they pounded him with his fist. It’s strange.

Auto mode works great on Aura.
Why did they get that he will not work in the Form?

fine -This is true. Do you have that? If yes, show it.

that is, you watched the video, looked at the screenshot above and ask this question? You either do not understand that we are talking about auto-adjusting the brightness, or you do not see that it is not in the form.

* SHELLS, I understand correctly that by "cars" here is understood "on schedule"?



Rep: (95)
* Stopkin, no, I mean the change in the brightness of the backlight depending on the conditions of external lighting.

Do you have that?

I have an Aura, not a Kindle.
But it seems.
It selects the same level of screen backlight in different lighting conditions.

this is something new, about the same level, showas this happens, after we continue.

This is not the first time I’m talking with you, and almost always I end up with a sense of admiration - you have registered on this forum, get to topics that interest you every day and successfully write messages in them that everyone can read, well done!
This is how the presence of the automatic brightness adjustment mode in nickel looks like, look in your aura.

Right I did not see the lack of brightness settings.
What did they think then?

show how it happens

With a decrease in illumination, brightness is added, and vice versa.
It’s better to take pictures at night.

This opponent is not very interesting to me personally, but there is still something to see.

about the same as you, only more successfully, judging by the result.

The reader is very good and interesting, I have only one question, why is it the same Freescale IMX6 Solo Lite (1 bucket) from the beginning of the 10s? He is standing in CPV 2015, then it was good, but now the magazines are getting fatter, the graphics have become more resolution. I want speed. Why is there greetings from 2012? : scratch_one-s_head:



Rep: (95)
* RONIN427 , and with what he can not cope? And how much faster will two cores (or eight) consume a skinny battery? This is so, reflections.



Rep: (110)
* SHELLS,
Do not think that I do not like the Form. It seems that in Japan, the Oasis has nothing to catch. They read manga, much more than books, but for this a bigger screen is more pleasant. Support without conversion. Well, my own manufacturer. : happy:

This is constructive criticism.
The CPU and Ram are the same as in the CPV-3, and there the PDFs move so-so, although faster than many. But at 6 "you don’t especially read them, but here it is 8". I really want to look at a large book / magazine in PDF. And it will be the same or even slower, the screen resolution has increased.
Well, the Oasis lives somehow with the MX7 2 core, though not so long ...

I looked at aura one, there were no special problems, although it also depends on the file. In general, my version is the price and power consumption, but as a matter of fact - I did not see an explanation.

IMHO everything is not so straightforward. New, often it’s a well-forgotten old :-) Stricter I.MX6 is the newer Cortex A9 + separate GPU, and the new I.MX7D is the two older Cortex A7 + cores, which also work for the GPU, and which platform is faster it’s very difficult, it may turn out that the gain in the second is only in slightly better energy efficiency and in engineering chips that do not affect speed, such as a built-in electrophoretic screen controller or audio codec. Kobo does not have any audio or bluetooth support, and some of the I.MX7 functions will be unclaimed, the price will become higher, and the speed will remain the same ..
