Onyx BOOX is a well-known producer of high-end E-ink tablets. The company just introduced the Boox Tab Ultra and Tab10, two new e-readers, to the market. Now, it has launched another E-ink tablet in the holiday season, which is relatively affordable. The new tablet called the Boox Leaf2 is the name of the new tablet which is available in two color options. There is actually a difference between the black and white color options as the white lacks matte glass protection over its display.
The upshot is that the white version
weighs 15 g less than the black version at the expense of the display’s
recessed borders. However, they both have 7-inch E Ink Carta displays with a
300 DPI resolution of 1,680 by 1,264 pixels.
The Leaf2 also features 32 GB of eMMC
flash storage, 2 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and Android 11 out of the box. Onyx BOOX
also has a Micro SD card reader, a 2,000 mAh battery with up to 26 days of
battery life, and an unnamed Qualcomm CPU with Bluetooth 5.0 connection. A USB
Type-C port, in addition to microphones, speakers, and G-sensors for auto
rotation support, are included on both models.
The device is currently available in both
the US and Chinese markets. Surprisingly, it costs less in the US than in
China. The US price tag is US$ 199.99, while it sells for CNY 1,580 (US$ 225) in
China. It can be purchased from B&H Photo Video or BOOX directly.
