Wait… Energy saving screen where the version or update messages are? Are you seeing this on the Wi-Fi Settings screen?

Respectfully, no, I’m not. :D

I’ve acquired my rM2 during its preorder campaign and have used it basically daily since, between a couple minutes and altogether an hour or two a day.

I don’t turn it off. I only really ever use the power button to wake it. On the odd occasion if it hasn’t fallen asleep before I have to bag it when I’m on the move, I’ll tap the power button to make it sleep. That’s really rare though because usually it will have already gone to sleep by itself, or I’ll just close the folio and trust that no touch interactions will occur.

I also don’t proactively charge it, like I would my phone, my watch or other light-emitting devices. I might turn it on and see on the file screen that it’s somewhere under 40% on a given day, and if I remember, I might leave it on a charger before I go to bed. As a result, I really don’t pay any mind to the amount of time between charging; because it lasts so relatively long, charging it is a genuine afterthought.

If I really think about it, I can probably go more than a week without charging and even then the tablet would have had a day to three in it still. I’m pretty sure during lower activity periods, I could have gone as long as two weeks without thinking to charge it.

Reduce clutter, surely. More organised is entirely up to you. :)

Welcome to the family.

Neoprene stylus pocket or elastic pen loop that you can stick onto the rM itself or onto whatever case you use.

Consider this.

The original reMarkable is equipped with the same resolution screen, uses the same pens, and is installed with the same software as on the rM2. The only functionality difference is that the rM1 has buttons on its chin and the rM2 does not.

Given how dependent the software platform is on 1872 x 1404 resolution, a more pixel dense screen is going to mean a smaller device, or a device with a worse screen to body ratio in order to accommodate reMarkable’s first and only peripheral - the Type Folio.

If a new rM is going to be produced, given economies of scale, it is more likely to replicate the form factor of the rM2. To be worth the factory retooling effort, that’s going to have to be a way superior greyscale e-ink screen, or colour at the same resolution and size that matches or improves on the current greyscale experience. Neither is in discernable pipeline at present.

Given that there is nothing on the FCC site and the state of development of components of the device, you should get some years out of a device purchased today.

If writing were all you wanted to do, you wouldn’t hedge on the reMarkable 2. It does that, it does it extremely well, it’s still better at it than all its competitors, and the company continues to improve that experience exclusively in software, meaning the hardware has legs.

Don’t be taken in by other hardware manufacturers’ forced refresh induced by marketing.

Repeated response to a repeated question.

The best indication of an rM3 in development is new device filings by the company to the US Federal Communications Commission. Schematics and other documentation for new devices with any wireless radios must be submitted to the FCC for approval before going to market. ReMarkable’s pattern so far has been to lodge documents with the FCC 18 to 24 months before their devices launch. There not being any new filings on their company page at the FCC website, there is nothing in pipeline that we can expect to see in the short to medium term.

Secondly, considering the screen to be the most critical part of the reMarkable platform, there have been no developments in the e-ink space that has produced a significantly clearer, more responsive or faster refreshing panel in greyscale or colour to trigger the company to want to do a hardware refresh. The company’s current standard would require the panel to be whiter, faster, and fully usable without back or side lighting.

That said, they may be watching developments in the colour e-ink space around which they might build a device. But, as noted, a colour rM would have to beat the rM2 in all performance areas. Colour e-ink isn’t there yet.

Short answer: No.
