    It's a lot more capable than the current version - but from the outside it's almost the same size and shape. - Denser display with full color range (current one is monochrome) - US…

    Components are from China - everything is assembled in India (Bengaluru). It's probably impossible to manufacture with locally sourced components in India in 2023(especially displa…

    Syncs with their phone app, to keep a track of bills and expenses. Based on the Espressif ESP32. Quite handy for small shop owners who can't have a full-blown computer+screen cash …
