BOOX has recently expanded its product line with the global release of the Palma 2 Pro and the Note Air5 C, following the successful launch of the P6 Pro series in China. These new devices signify BOOX's commitment to integrating the comfortable, paper-like experience of E Ink technology with the versatility of modern smart devices. Both models come equipped with color E Ink displays and the latest Android 15 operating system, bringing enhanced functionality and user experience to the e-reader market.
The Palma 2 Pro stands out as a pocket-sized e-reader, inheriting many features from its predecessor, the P6 Pro, and first previewed at IFA 2025. It boasts a 6.13-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink display, offering crisp 300 ppi for monochrome text and 150 ppi for color content. A significant upgrade is the introduction of 5G support via a hybrid SIM and microSD slot, a first for the Palma series, enhancing connectivity for users on the go. Weighing a mere 175 grams, its ergonomic design, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, ensures a comfortable and efficient reading experience, further supported by BOOX's Super Refresh technology for minimal ghosting and a dual-tone front light that adapts to ambient conditions. Meanwhile, the Note Air5 C, a larger sibling, features a 10.3-inch color E Ink display tailored for creative tasks like writing and sketching. It includes support for a magnetic keyboard and the refined Pen3 stylus, offering a more intuitive writing feel. Powered by an octa-core processor with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, this device runs on Android 15 and BOOX Firmware V4.1, incorporating AI-driven tools for improved note organization and mind-mapping, catering to users seeking a productive digital notebook.
Both the Palma 2 Pro and Note Air5 C are currently available for purchase in Charcoal Black or Ivory White, through BOOX's official online stores in the US and EU, priced at $399.99/£379.99/€399.99 and $529.99/£499.99/€529.99 respectively. These introductions highlight a progressive step in e-reader technology, merging traditional reading comfort with contemporary smart features. As technology continues to evolve, these devices exemplify how innovation can enhance daily tasks, offering tools that are not only advanced but also prioritize user well-being and productivity, fostering a positive outlook on digital interaction.
