Onyx Boox Palma will soon have company in the form of a similar device from iReader which is slated to launch within a few months, ITHome reported. More specifically, CEO Cheng Chao stated in a live chat show that the upcoming pocket-sized e-reader is going to be launched before June this year. We also have an idea of what the mini e-reader is going to be like, thanks to several images that have been revealed. What is apparent right away is that it bears a lot of similarity with the Boox Palma.
The company also revealed a few key specs of the e-reader which is touted to come powered with a 6nm octa-core processor. This, together with 8 gigs of memory, should ensure brisk performance under all conditions. Besides, the e-reader will also have 128 GB of storage, though it is not known at the moment if there will be the option to expand on that further.
The e-paper display boasts of glass etching technology for enhanced clarity, contrast, and readability. The display will have 300 PPI resolution and will have 30Hz and 35Hz twin refresh rates. Power will come from a 4000 mAh battery. The device will be running a customized Android version which will show two display styles: Modern, which will show all apps, and Classic, which will show the bookshelf.
Additionally, the rear is going to be made from a unique material. The e-reader is going to come in shades of Black and White. From the image the company revealed, what is clear is that it will have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features, though there will be no camera included. More details are awaited. Stay tuned.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
