What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Supernote Manta (A5 X2)
Only one whitelisted outlet (Engadget) has hands-on time with the Supernote Manta A5 X2, and it appears inside a combined Supernote buying-guide entry (nominally the A6 X2 Nomad) rather than a dedicated Manta review. The take is qualitative with no measured benchmarks: the reviewer praises the larger 10.7-inch writing surface, the user-repairable build and the smoother FeelWrite 2 protector, while flagging the absent backlight and the pen sold separately. Dedicated Manta reviews came only from non-whitelisted outlets and were excluded. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Larger 10.7-inch writing surface vs the smaller Nomad, better for big or cursive handwriting; User-repairable with replaceable battery and microSD slot; Smoother, less-scratchy FeelWrite 2 screen protector for a paper-like writing feel.
Flagged: No backlight / front light, useless in dark environments; Stylus costs extra ($89 or more).
