HyRead has a new e-note device to offer in the form of the HyRead Gaze Pro Note C. It is a hybrid color e-notebook and e-reader with Kaleido 3. It features physical page-turn buttons, which are becoming increasingly rare these days. There are two color options available: brown and white.
Coming to specs, the HyRead Gaze Pro Note C features a 7.8-inch Kaleido 3 color e-paper display. The black and white resolution is 1404×1872 with 300ppi, and the color resolution is 702×936 and 150ppi. The display is enhanced by a front light system that offers warm and cold temperature control for the optimal reading experience, regardless of ambient lighting conditions. The Wacom touch layer on top ensures ease of operation, whether you’re reading books as an e-reader or jotting down notes, drawing, scribbling, and so on. The accompanying electromagnetic pen supports 4096 levels of pressure connectivity.
Underneath the hood is an Octa-core (quad-core A72 + quad-core A53) processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. It has an SD card that is capable of supporting an additional 1TB of storage. WIFI 6, USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2, G-Sensor, built-in speaker, and dual microphones. Fingerprint recognition will ensure the device remains secure. A 3200mAh polymer lithium battery powers it and supports quick charge.
Another highlight of the new HyRead Gaze Pro Note C is the presence of physical page turn buttons along with two function keys on the side. You can set the function keys to perform different tasks as per your requirements. This greatly enhances the user experience as it allows for a more seamless reading experience. It runs Google Android 14 operating system, which is very current, and I am unsure if this is the only modern e-notebook that runs this current version of the OS. It does not have Google Play; however, users can sideload their own Android apps or alternative app stores.
