Where are the schematic text's? That was the first thing we should add before requesting review as mentioned yesterday

Also use multisheet

U1’s battery output also feeds the regulator and system. Running the reader while charging can interfere with charge termination; USB-only operation without a battery is also not assured. | Add a power-path/load-sharing circuit, or explicitly require charging with the reader switched off. P1 grounds GPIO9, but GPIO8 is used for SPI clock with no explicit pull-up. Reliable ROM download mode requires GPIO8 high when GPIO9 is low. | Add a suitable GPIO8 pull-up and verify programming with the display and SD card connected. | A 3.3 V LDO cannot maintain 3.3 V throughout a single-cell LiPo’s discharge range. | Verify the lowest usable battery voltage under Wi-Fi, SD-card and display loads; consider a buck-boost supply. |

https://www.xteink.com/products/xteink-x3 Quite small and also has a magsafe <@757706909351411845> <@452450065941004289>

<@452450065941004289> yep that's the one, literally perfect

yeah

The hot-swappable buttons make the board too wide to fit behind a phone, and the display i selected before this discussion is also a bit too large. Is it okay to make the first prototype bigger and work toward a phone-sized version later, or should we switch to smaller buttons and display now?

the ref that rishabh shared also uses side buttons

I think we should switch to smaller standard buttons. That would reduce the board’s width and bring us closer to a phone-sized design.
