Startup DuRoBo recently released its latest product, Krono , an innovative device positioned as a personalized ePaper Focus Hub. Krono aims to integrate the functions of an e-reader, note-taking tool, and audio player into one. Through its paper-like display and AI-assisted functions, it helps users stay away from digital distractions and refocus on in-depth reading and thinking. This product is expected to start crowdfunding on the Indiegogo platform in the near future.
Hardware core and display technology
DuRoBo Krono uses a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 high-definition electronic paper screen with a resolution of 824x1648 and a fineness of 300 PPI, which can present clear and sharp text and images. Its display effect is similar to traditional paper and is designed to provide a comfortable and glare-free reading experience. The device is equipped with a dual-color temperature frontlight system with adjustable color temperature to ensure comfortable reading in different lighting environments. In terms of hardware, Krono is equipped with an eight-core processor, 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage space, ensuring that various applications can run smoothly on the open Android 13 operating system.
Software features designed for focus
The core concept of Krono is to create a distraction-free personal space. Its built-in Spark function allows users to quickly capture inspiration through voice or text. The voice mode can record sudden thoughts or to-do items, and organize the key points through voice-to-text and AI summary functions; the text mode is suitable for deeper thinking and content writing. In addition, Krono has a built-in speaker and supports Bluetooth connection, which makes it convenient for users to listen to audiobooks, podcasts or music as a channel for obtaining information and relaxing.
Design aesthetics and open system
In terms of design, Krono adopts a unique minimalist design aesthetic. The body size is 154 x 80 x 9.0 mm and weighs about 173 grams, making it light and portable. Its most recognizable design is the Aixs on the back, which is cleverly equipped with eight customizable breathing lights that can interact according to the user's concentration state or specific notifications, adding a personalized visual element to the device. Thanks to its open Android system, users can freely install familiar productivity tools, reading applications or communication software, and flexibly configure according to personal needs. The built-in 3950mAh battery provides battery life for long-term focused use.
Market positioning and crowdfunding announcement
DuRoBo Krono positions itself as a versatile focus assist tool, especially for professionals and students who want to get rid of the distraction of smartphone algorithms and immerse themselves in deep content. The product will soon launch a crowdfunding plan on the Indiegogo platform, and pre-registration is now open.
