Onyx Boox Poke2 Color Just Sold Out

Onyx Boox is a brand of e-book reader produced by Onyx International Inc, based in China. Like most e-book readers, the Boox uses electronic paper technology.

On August 10, 2020, Onyx had officially released their first ebook reader that uses E Ink’s new color Kaleido screen technology. But they only produced 100 units and were sold out in a few hours. 

The Poke2 Color features a 6-inch E INK Carta HD Display with a resolution of 1072×1448 with 300 PPI. The color mode can show 4096 colors with 100 PPI to bring content to life. The Poke2 Color has a 2.0GHz octa-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It has a frontlight with adjustable color temperature and it supports dual band Wi-Fi and USB OTG. It has a 1500mAh battery and microUSB port. The device weighs only 150 grams.

Like Onyx’s other Android devices, the Poke2 Color runs Android 9.0 and is open to install apps, including the Kindle app, so that makes it a lot more versatile than a typical e-reader. 

Let’s wait and see if Onyx will continue to produce such color E Ink devices.
