E-ink tablets are great for the eyes, but they have always been slow due to lower refresh rate of the screen, until now. Dasung has announced new e-ink tablets with 50Hz refresh rate, aiming to take the ePaper experience to a fast tablet. Here is everything you need to know.
Imagine an e-reader as smooth as your phone but with the eye comfort of E-Ink. According to sources both model not ereader 078 and 103 use 1872×1404 resolution panels. The 7.8″ model (078) has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and a 5400 mAh battery. The 10.3″ (103 model) offers the same resolution but larger screen, battery details not clear yet.
Why 50 Hz E-ink is a big deal
So far e-ink displays run at low refresh rates (often ~1 Hz or refresh only on page turn). This works fine for static reading, but when it comes to switching pages quickly, or navigating its not that good. Ereader users will relate to this.
The Dasung tablets change the game with a 50 Hz refresh rate making page refreshes, UI animations and note-taking much smoother.
Why This Should Matter to Readers & Students
Eye Comfort and smooth navigation
If you read for hours, the smoother refresh means less visual lag, better page turns and navigation and a more comfortable reading experience. And E-ink screens are way better for your eyes compared to LCD and OLED.
Note-Taking & Productivity
Higher refresh means you can use productivity apps, highlight, annotate without lag. For students or heavy readers, this is a game changer over standard eReaders.
One Device Many Uses
Because it runs Android and has fairly fast refresh rate, its a fully functional Android tablet. You can use it as an e-reader or tablet. You can read eBooks, browse, use reading apps, even run all kinds of Android apps, all with E-Ink’s eye-friendly screen.
Where it may not be good
- Battery Life – Higher refresh and Android OS may reduce battery compared to simpler eReaders.
- Unclear Price – Information is yet to come out about these two models.

Final Thoughts
The Dasung 50 Hz E-Ink tablets represent a big step forward in eReader and note-taking tech. For me its a big YES, if they can manage to give users fast performance and good support. They blend reading comfort with tablet like speed. If you would like to read textbooks, PDFs, take notes on a tablet with less eye strain the Dasung 50Hz tablet is worth it.
