TL;DR

• BOOX just launched the Palma 2 Pro and Note Air5 C in the US and EU.
• Both feature color E Ink displays and Android 15.
• The Palma 2 Pro adds 5G in a pocket-sized design.

After launching the P6 Pro series in China earlier this month, BOOX has now brought its high-end counterpart to a global audience. The new Palma 2 Pro brings the same blend of color E Ink and 5G connectivity to the US and Europe, launching alongside the larger Note Air5 C tablet. Both devices run Android 15 and continue BOOX’s effort to combine the comfort of paper with the flexibility of a smart device.

We got an early look at the Palma 2 Pro during IFA 2025 in Berlin, where it already hinted at many of the same upgrades seen in the P6 Pro. The 6.13-inch handheld swaps the usual black-and-white E Ink display for a Kaleido 3 color panel, which delivers 300 ppi for monochrome content and 150 ppi for color. It also features 5G support via a hybrid SIM and microSD slot, marking a first for the Palma lineup. Powered by Android 15 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, it keeps the textured, water-repellent design that made the earlier Palma 2 such a hit.
