The video opens with a close-up of a person holding a TCL 60 XE NXTpaper phone. A purple banner across the screen says "Max Ink Mode". The person says, "This is a TCL 60 XE NXTpaper. It's got this kind of matte finish on the screen. But the cool thing is when you flip the NXTpaper key," then shows the phone’s side, highlighting a small green button. "It goes into max ink mode. And that's a kind of e-ink like setting where everything is monochrome. It drops a refresh rate. You get tons of battery life. It says it's gonna go 64 hours. And it's kind of like a focus mode. So you could get some reading done. You can choose which apps you have access to in this mode. And then push everything else out and silence it. And I think that's beautiful and lovely." The video ends with a TikTok logo.
I wonder if the mode can be hybridized... like YouTube being all e-paper except for the video window. An e-book being e-paper except imbedded images. Will be intresting to see how it goes.
I use eink devices daily and was initially excited about these screens when they popped up a few years ago. However in reality a matte screen protector for your current phone will get you 90-95% of this without needing a new phone.

Looking forward to it.
As for now I'm using a #hisense_a9 with #lineageos as my phone and main e-reader and #podcast & music player.
