Onyx Boox Note Air Hands on Review

believe the Air provides more value than most other 10.3 inch digital note taking devices on the market. It is superior to the Remarkable 2, the only advance it has, is being able to draw at an angle, due to the tilt functionality it has. The Air can install apps, is faster, can play games or watch videos.  The Air would be a good upgrade if you have the Nova 2, Note 1,  SuperNote A5, Remarkable 1 or an older e-note. This device is snappy, responsive, has great hardware and a deadly note taking system.

Onyx Phone will not come out this year

A brand new Onyx Boox phone was showcased at this years Consumer Electronics Show and many people thought it would be out sometime this year. This is not the case and I have it on good authority that it will not come out until 2021. I have heard that their engineers are retooling the device, although the exact changes are unknown. I think they are going to try and ship it with Android 10, which is the same OS that the Max Lumi and Note Air are running.

Unboxing the 13.3 inch Onyx Boox Max Lumi e-note

The Max Lumi has a glass based screen that is flush with the bezel. It has a black, two toned color scheme on the front. There is a physical home button, right below the screen. The top of the chassis has a power button and on the bottom is your HDMI, USB-C, Microphone ports. On the back are  your two stereo speakers. I have found that the Max Lumi has great build quality and it feels heavy. It is an expensive e-note, since you are paying over 800 for it, so it is not for everyone. If you are looking for an ultra-modern 13.3 with a front-light and amber LED lights to read in the dark, or directly in the sun, this is for you.

Android 10 is a milestone for Onyx Boox

It comes with Google Android 10 and you can launch two apps at once and use them in a split screen view, something that has never been done before on a digital note taking device. It comes with freshly designed stylus, that has some hefty weight, so it is easier to draw. This device is available now from Good e-Reader for $459.

Onyx Boox is developing a color e-reader based on the Nova 2

Onyx Boox has submitted a letter to the FCC, letting them know that they will be using the same internals as the Nova 2, except they are calling it the Nova 2 Color. The company has just launched the Poke 2 color today, but they only produced 100 units and were sold out in a few hours. They have not submitted any documentation to the FCC for the Poke 2 Color, which leads me to believe this was a test to see if people would respond to a color e-reader, which they did. It looks like Onyx is now taking color seriously.
