Onyx has a new crop of large-screen E Ink ereaders in the works. There’s the 13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max 2 and a 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note that are both expected to get released soon.
In fact the Onyx Boox Max 2 is already selling from a website in China called TMall, but it doesn’t appear to be available from any other Onyx distributors yet.
The Max 2 adds a capacitive touchscreen and micro HDMI port, and it has a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, with 32GB of storage space.
They’ve updated the software to Android 6.0 as well, up from Android 4.0 on the older models.
Another couple of YouTube videos were recently uploaded showing the new Onyx ereaders in action.
The videos aren’t much different than the last set of videos. In fact they’re about 90% the same, but at least some progress is being made with the Max 2 now available to order.
Thanks to the HDMI port the Max 2 can double as a secondary computer monitor, but so far it looks pretty slow in the videos, much slower than the Paperlike Pro.
It’s still unclear what the final specs will be on the 10.3-inch Boox Note, as they seem to keep changing things, but some specs are outlined in the video.
Everything is ok except the 1GB RAM 🙁
When for to buy onix boox max2, max2 pro, note, canvas, and boyue likebook at bangood.com?
Thank you for you blog every day
Only Onyx and Boyue would know something like that. I have no way of knowing when they’re going to sell what and where.
Thank you, friends.
Should consider 2 g ram instead of 1 g, which would be ideal really.
Hello my friends.
Look aliexpress (I don’t know why excludes banggood), a new device “Boyue likebook Air” call too “t65s” with 6inch, a small version of “Boyue likebook plus carta 7,8”, too only for sale at aliexpress (not in banggood). Thank you 😊 friends.
Its not slow as a monitor. Thats how e ink work. Ish bery good reader thank u
E Ink doesn’t have to be that slow. See this video of the Paperlike Pro in action. Scrolling is a lot smoother and response is faster.
