Onyx has just released a new firmware update for most of their modern e-readers and e-notes that are running Android 11. This includes the Nova Air C, Nova Air 2 Plus, Note Air 2 and a couple of other models. The 3.2.3 version has a few compelling features, such as improved page-turn speed for the Amazon Kindle app. There is also an improved picture display effect in Neoreader. The company has also improved black text, making it darker, fixed overlapping problems with PDF text and made some improvements for the color model.
Onyx tends to push out firmware updates quickly. So if you have one of the models outlined in this article, you can go to the settings menu and search for a firmware update. They have not updated their website with the new version number, nor are providing direct download links so people can manually update it themselves. They tend to wait a couple of weeks before doing it.
