ThinkNode M2 Review: The Tamagotchi-Sized Meshtastic HandheldThe Elecrow ThinkNode M2 is a compact Meshtastic handheld praised for its excellent build quality and Tamagotchi-like form factor, but criticized for its poor battery life due to the power-hungry ESP32-S3 chip. Despite a small 1000mAh battery, it offers around a day of use, falling short of more efficient alternatives. The device features a 1.3" OLED screen, a buzzer, and surprisingly strong range, but its high price for the ready-to-use version makes it a niche product for those prioritizing aesthetics and portability over battery performance.
ThinkNode M1 Review: E-Paper Display Handheld with Premium Build QualityThe ThinkNode M1 is a new Meshtastic handheld device featuring a 1.54-inch e-paper display, injection-molded housing, and impressive 4-5 day battery life, priced at $40.50 or $53.90 with a case. It offers a premium build quality with a machined control knob and dedicated GPS switch, making it a polished consumer-ready option in the market. The device runs on the Nordic nRF52840 chip with an SX1262 radio and includes GPS, an RTC clock, and a 1200mAh battery, with the InkUI firmware significantly improving the e-paper display experience.
