BOOX is launching the Palma 2 and Note Air4 C.
The Palma 2 offers a phone-sized e-reader option with upgraded silicon and new biometrics.
Meanwhile, the Note Air4 C is tablet-sized solution with a color screen for your Android apps.

It’s somewhat a testament to how mature the mobile device landscape is that we see such diversity among screens. Not everyone’s in a race to deliver the highest refresh rates, densest pixels, and widest color gamut, and that frees resources up to explore things like the wild world of foldables (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-foldable-phones-922793/). One of the most interesting niches to develop has been Android-powered hardware that takes advantage of eye-friendly, low-power electrophoretic displays (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-e-ink-tablet-3230616/) — ePaper. Today we’re checking out two of the newest ePaper devices coming from BOOX.

First up is the sequel to what’s easily the most phone-like of BOOX’s offerings, the Palma 2 (https://shop.boox.com/blogs/news/palma2-mindful-living). This one’s got a 6.13-inch 300 PPI Carta 1200 screen, which means you can look forward to some high-contrast, crisp text with low eye strain. It runs software based on Android 13, which is a little behind the times but should suffice for this kind of use case. The octa-core processor and 6GB of RAM are probably overkill, but the 128GB of storage sounds plenty nice for saving every book you’d ever want to read — and there’s even microSD expansion for you madmen who need more.
