I think it's unfair to say that it "shouldn't" look like a smart phone just because it isn't one. It's just an ereader with much more practical use because it runs on android. As a traveler, I look for every possible way to downsize everything I can as well as purchasing multiple use case items. This is a delight that I've been wanting for ages. Something that doesn't always have to be stuffed in my rucksack. I can just put it in my poclet and start reading. Love it.

Always had issues with ereaders sizes to carry and handling, dont like to read on my phone also. So even the cons the device is genious on form factor and size, configurations, options, settings, possibilities and quality of the display. So I went for it to replace my Kobo 305. No phone, no problem, When I receive it I will test whatsapp calls with wifi. Device is selling like crazy so peoples love the concept. BTW this is a ereader from the start!

Sometimes, one needs a cellphone for setting alarms, receiving notifications, checking calendar, reading emails, even just to use apps like Pomodoro timers, stopwatches, and so on. However, attempting these tasks with a cell phone can often lead to distractions, pulling you away to do something else and wasting valuable time. I believe this device is perfect for all these use cases, even for employing it as an 'assistant' with voice commands. When carrying out these tasks in a fixed location, be it at home, in a library, or in the kitchen, it might be advantageous not to have a SIM card, as it can serve as another source of distraction with incoming calls or text messages. Personally, I'd like to have it for all the purposes I mentioned earlier. Excellent video as always.

Thank you for this very honest review again, Voja. I agree with all your cons, though I could live without a SIM as it wouldn't become a smartphone replacement for me. However the biggest con for me personally would be that it doesn't have e-ink note-taking capability. Rather I would really want to use it as a quick note jotter more than anything. Give it a small S-Pen and it would be perfect for that in my eyes.

Wow, this device is fantastic! It's reminiscent of the old PDAs, but with even more productive features. At the same time, it avoids all the distractions that modern smartphones come with, which tend to foster addiction and keep us endlessly scrolling through social media. For instance, there are times when I just want to set an alarm for the night before going to bed, and suddenly an hour has passed while I mindlessly browsed through unnecessary content on social platforms. All of this underscores the importance of studying how technology impacts our brains. Boox should consider marketing this device not only for eye health due to its e-ink screen but also for its potential to promote "mental health" by reducing smartphone addiction. It's well-documented that smartphones trigger dopamine release and exploit the brain's reward system, which has been proven in numerous studies. The only aspect I didn't quite like is the size of the bezels; they are quite large. Additionally, those rounded corners aren't to my liking. Why not make use of the sharp 90-degree angles? Everyone seems to be imitating Apple in that regard, whereas Boox could certainly establish its own unique identity.

I think it has a very niche target audience and I happen to be in that group. I want an eReader that can do cell phone things when I need it to. I'll mostly be using this at work where I have WiFi. I'd like to be able to read books, articles, or manga through an app or website or instead have a RU-vid stream playing in the background (screen off) and then slip this in my pocket when I go for a walk while listening to an audiobook or some music. These are things I can't do with my Kindle because it's too big to fit in my pocket and it's locked to the Kindle store. I'd rather just use the Kindle for long reading sessions at home.

This channel has the best e-ink reviews on the internet, but this review missed the mark. I used to use a Kindle Basic as an EDC reader and an Oasis at home. The Boox Palma is now my reader 90% of the time - I only use my Oasis in bed, and I almost never use my Kindle Basic. For me, the Palma is a use-anywhere e-reader that allows reading from any store, plus open audiobooks and music and podcasts. It’s fantastic. But to appreciate the Palma I had to completely ditch the stock OS and stock apps. I exclusively use Android apps from the Play Store. The reduced battery life is something that I simply never noticed. I charge the device every 2-4 days, at night.

Thank you, nice review! I think towards the end you hit on my initial struggle with this device, how would I use this? I did end up ordering one, and for one main reason, portability. I can take this very easily wherever I go. It easily fits in pockets, so it is perfect for people who are constantly on the go like me. I read for fun, and I read news articles such as from the NY Times and WSJ apps. This device will be perfect for that. What I DONT need, is an E-Ink phone and here's why. The screen is not optimized for many every day tasks such as video or navigation. To compete it would have to be something more like a thousand dollar phone, which doesn't make sense for a device with an E-Ink screen. I think they got it right by just making this a very capable and very portable reader that can run most android apps.

If you don't look at this as a wannabe smartphone replacement failure but a successful one hand portable device, it actually fits its target market needs perfectly.

Great review and cons listing. Thank you! For me, the form factor (indeed maybe without the inner rounded bezels) is a plus in portability and page scrolling. I love that I can have combined use of a one-hand-held Kindle and Kobo e-reader. At home, I could largely use it as a smartphone substitute as long as I do not need to actually call someone. Similarly on trips and where it saves my actual phone battery life (of course the downside here is that the device itself consumes way more than an e-reader would). Reasons for me not to buy it: - lack of 3.5mm audio jack - Android 11 ; longevity uncertainty - overheating - 2 days of battery life (reading, some listening over cable headphones, standby) I would expect from an e-ink device. Super refresh on the other hand is not needed for anything not video or browsing.

Maybe Boox is waiting to see if there is a large enough group that purchases this device before it goes through all the different legalities it would have to go through in order to get a phone approved in different countries. For instance there are a few brands that are not allowed to be sold in the US due to “spying” concerns. As far as missing the color for one I spent the first 25 years of my life with only a land line then another 15 with only a black and white cell phone. My first television at 15 was a black and white and it was great. So even though color is nice it isn’t a priority four me. For me it would be a wonderful option as I suffer from a neurological condition per my neurologist I am not to read or spend much time scrolling on my phone. And I can tell the difference when I read a book on my kindle verses on my phone. The fact that I can have kindle plus kobo on the same device is a plus as well. Thanks for your wonderful reviews.

I'd like this if it could also take notes. I disagree with the commenter who said it has more productivity than a PDA. Early in its lifespan, I had a Visor Handspring (and later the Visor Prism, which updated the device with a color screen), which was made by one of the Palm OS devs, and ran that OS, but had been modified with a cartridge slot that could accept explansion modules, which included a camera module and a cellular radio, so you *could* use it as a phone. And you could take notes on it since it hand handwriting input and a stylus. I even had a fold out keyboard for it. I was using it as a 15 year-old high school student who liked gadgets though. The high school gadget geek part of my brain wants this because of nostalgia. But I have a Palm T/X that 26 year-old me got for the same reason rotting away on a shelf in another country, so probably I need to ignore that urge. I think they could turn it into something with a market, but right now it just seems like something that's neat but kind of redundant.

The target audience is people that want to have an e-reader in their pocket and pull it out as easy as a phone while on the go to read for short sessions. Like during a 5 minute bus ride or while waiting for the bus. It's easy to always (and this is the key feature) have something like this on you, so you can get a lot of reading done over time. Although I see the point of making this an actual phone with a sim card, so people wouldn't need a reader and their phone.

Let it sync reading page location with my larger boox devices, give it a camera upgrade for beach/fishing photos and it would be a very good "disconnect from the world, take the kids to the beach and read the same book I am reading on larger devices at home" device.

How do you want to sync without sim card on the beach? You don't have to use it like a phone but sync or reading articles without wifi would be nice.

There is no way I can install external dictionary on this device. Dictionary app does not recognize files transferred to the dicts folder. On my Boox Note it works fine and installed dictionaries are seen in the app.

@slydog7131 Год назад
I don't know what they do now, but Amazon used to advertise Kindle battery life based on 1/2 hour of reading a day. By that measure, the Palma will last about 3 weeks or so per charge. If you start using it like a cell phone (watching videos, browsing the web, etc.) and using it continuously, then it's about like a smartphone.

I absolutely do NOT want it as a smart phone replacement. I don't want my reader to provide the interruption and distraction a phone has. The pocket size makes it portable. Why would I want a smart device replacement when what I want is an easy travel reader. This is awesome. If it was a smart device replacement I wouldn't even consider it. I think saying it is supposed to be a smart phone replacement is incorrect. Not everyone even wants that

Im considering getting this as an audio player (just use a usb c dongle dac / bluetooth), pair that with the battery life of an eink screen... seems pretty perfect for that use case.

If that is your use case, then save your money and just use your cellphone. The battery life is about the same.

@@enadegheeghaghe6369 but it is a device, which you will use for quite some time in the future, hopefully. It is mostly about security updates, general support, new features of android. And it is absolutely clear, that boox will not update the os in the future. And they are even selling android 12 devices. Which is still pretty old.

Could anyone help me, should I get this or Boox Page? I'm not reading many books per year (4-5) and I had a tablet once and it was annoying to use for me because of it's size. So I'm assuming Boox Page size will be as annoying as tablet was for me? Should I get Palma? I'm not planning to use it as a phone replacement but as a ereader only. Also I'm used to reading on phone
@MyDeepGuide
@MyDeepGuide 6 месяцев назад
If you read 4-5 books per year, and are already used to reading on your phone, why do you exactly need a dedicated device for such an activity? It sound like you can already do that on your phone 🤔 You might be able to use that money on something else that you maybe need more :) Just a thought :)

Not a phone. Not a notebook. Tiny eReader. Can watch videos, with low quality while on wifi. Did they do any market research? It there really a market for this device that would make it profitable? Perhaps invest in improving devices there is more of a market.
@slydog7131
@slydog7131 Год назад
No sim and no wacom, but you can use wifi calling and can install a note app and use keyboard or voice input. Video, though b&w, is crisp, clear and fluid. I would not describe it as "low quality." As a reader, it is so easy to hold that I prefer it for most books. I installed a camera app and the camera and video is surprisingly good, not for professional photography, but for everyday pictures ... yes.
