$110 buys LilyGo's new T-Deck Max, a 3.1-inch e-ink handheld built around an ESP32-S3 rather than a conventional smartphone platform.
LoRa support lets it send small data packets and messages without a cellular network, while the built-in GPS can add location data; buyers can also opt for 4G.
A physical keyboard, microphone, speaker, microSD slot and support for extra sensors position the device for field communication and hardware projects rather than mainstream phone use.
Arduino and PlatformIO compatibility underscore that focus, with LilyGo pitching a tinkerer-friendly device that could also serve niche roles such as emergency signaling on large sites.
