Boyue released a bunch of digital note taking devices last year such as the Likebook Alita, Likebook Ares, Likebook Mimas and Muses. This year, they released no new devices and it doesn’t look like they will.
I really thought since Boyue was so succesful over the past few years, that they would continue refreshing their devices with better hardware and newer versions of Android. They hardly release firmware updates on their e-readers anymore, but they have issued complicated Android 8.1 update for the Likebook Mars, and the Likebook Ares.
They don’t have a website, so it is hard to know what their future plans are. They are active on their Facebook Page, but they tend to just use it as marketing for their line of devices, issuing promotional videos for hardware that is a few years ago.
Boyue has a few different verticals of their company. One for OEM to education/publisher customers, also they have a different unit for schools and the final one is the consumer arm, which is their Likebook series.
