I've had the X3 for a month and I love it. It's so small I forget it's in my pocket and have almost washed it a couple times. I'm working on custom firmware for it, so I ordered an X4 when they had the 20% off sale to test on there too.
As a crazy person with both, I have mixed feelings between them.
In favor of the X3:
- Crisper text
- Whiter display
- Slightly better battery life
- Top-mounted power button (subjective)
In favor of the X4:
- Larger display
- Plain USB-C charging
- Slightly better custom firmware support
- Backward and forward button on the same side (subjective)
link the custom firmware!
I'm a noob so I haven't got very far yet. Currently working on a bootloader then going to do flashcards and a very basic word processor. I'd like to be able to switch firmwares almost like switching applications. I'll share everything on GitHub once I'm sure it won't brick people's devices, but right now the code is just sitting on my PC.
