5 devices to help ease your smartphone addiction


With the downsides of doomscrolling and screen addiction well documented, here are some devices that can help ease your smartphone addiction.

Boox, a brand from Chinese company Onyx, meshes the worlds of ePaper technology and Android to create quirky devices that straddle the notebook, tablet, and e-reader spheres. With access to a full array of Android apps, this might defeat the purpose of what Boox touts as a “distraction-free device.” However, given that this is an ePaper device, the minimalist screen doesn’t have the same appeal for consuming online content. But if it means you can disappear for the weekend and leave your pocket rocket at home, while still being able to access essential “life” apps such as WhatsApp, Spotify, Uber, and Google Maps, then it could be a worthwhile investment for some.
