Kaleido 3 Showdown | Onyx Tab Ultra C vs Bigme Inknote Color+ 

Thanks for sharing this. I have a Boox mini C and just got this Bigme... I find the comic experience on the Boox is far superior. I want to return the Bigme now. I had high hopes.

How is your bigme device for watching videos? Does it heat if we watch videos for hours?

@learningcheme I can watch videos? Gonna have to try that.

@@MrHappyZorro please let me know if it heats if we watch RU-vid videos for more than hour or so. Thanks in advance

It's because of Onyx's panel refreshing algorithms.

Yeah its pretty sad but not surprising that they literally ignored the biggest difference between the devices.

@@HebrewGreekKnowledge well goodereader kinda works with bigme to sell devices, of course they have to say nice things about bigme

12 hrs continuous use

Yeah me too. I’ve been eyeing the Bigme for it’s 4g support and non-bump 2 cameras , but couldn’t decide cause so many people saying it’s slower than boox. Thanks!

@@dryiceliu6922 Me too, looking forward to comparing videos

I had both, and Bigme is slower than boox. Bigme has better performance in gradients (when you use 256HD) vs. boox, but boox has better ghosting management and is faster than bigme.

I've been looking at the Tab Mini C for the past week, and now it looks like the Bigme S6 Color+ has recently released, which - like the boox equivalent - also has a K3 screen. Bigme is about £70 cheaper than the boox, has 128gb internal storage and has expandable storage, but I'm very concerned about software. Boox seems much more polished and user friendly right now, and seems to have better screen refresh, handles colour out of the box better, etc. So I'm wondering, do you find the 64gb limit of the Boox Mini C to be problematic at all, or is it manageable? Would you say the boox mini c is worth the extra £70? Also been super tempted to just go all out with the boox tab ultra c, but that's eye wateringly expensive, especially as this will be my first purchase of a device of this type so idek know how much I'll enjoy it just yet lol.

I would go for the Tab Ultra C, I think it’s worth the money and you won’t have to second guess if you have the best device in the market. I’m about to buy the Tab Ultra C after a week of research, it will be my first device of this kind.

@@p.c.h.6721 I'm also about to buy Tab Ultra, but I'm hesitating about the screen surface. I've got an idea of buing e-ink tablet after touching my groupmate's Boox Note Air 2 Plus and was thinking of buying the same but decided the colors would really come in handy, however it is said that Tab Ultra does not have this paper-likeness which I find quite pleasing. Could you share your own expirience of screen interaction?

@@FemboyUwU88 Hey, these are the issues that I have with the Tab Ultra C. No software updates, no security patches updates, so the device is not that safe (I guess even with that, it should be OK as long as you use a secure WiFi.) Maybe at some point they will have updates for the device, but I understand that these E-Readers are mainly built to read and write, no necessarily to go online, but that’s one of the main reasons why I want buy one (I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.) The screen is a bit dark, if you’re indoors chances are you’ll need to use the front light, which sucks the battery life, but I still think you’ll be able to use it for long periods of time without charging it (the regular Tab Ultra, no color, has a brighter front screen, so no need for the front light, therefore longer battery life, but I like to have Color.) Some people have reported that the Tab Ultra C has an edge that is a bit too sharp, so when you hold it with your fingers you can feel that sharp edge and it’s not nice, it won’t cut your fingers but it’s not nice (maybe some people have sensitive fingers,) but you can buy a protective cover for the edges in case you feel the same problem when you hold it with your fingers/hands. I’ve heard about the screen not having a great paper feel, but once you try it if you can’t get used to how it feels when you’re writing something, you can buy a screen protector that has a paper feeling when you write. I’ve seen a video of guy that bought that screen paper like protector and when he tested it he said that it felt great, so there is a solution for that problem just in case you don’t like the feel of it when you write on the screen. Other than these issues everything else seems perfect, for sure better than any other device on the market. I’m hesitating to be honest, should I buy it now or wait till next year when they hopefully improve or solve some of these issues.... I’ve just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, I could survive with the Samsung tablet for another year but I still need the Tab Ultra C so I can use both at the same time and save time. We will see, I like the Tab Ultra C a lot, finally they seem to have come up with an E-Reader, E-Note taking that you can also use to go online, and you can also use all the google play apps (I wouldn’t have considered buy one of these devices up to know. I like to read but I like books much better than reading on a screen.) Anyway, hope that help a little bit, none of those issues are dealbreakers imo.

The cases eliminate the camera bump.

is it good or bad?

Can't win Thank you :)

@Good e-Reader is not about that, are things you can do to improve in some test when you compare 2 different devices and specifically when those devices are similar and the software plays a big role 😉. I have the bigme and that's why I indicated the recommended settings because for what I can tell in the video the recommended settings in bigme is 2/100/0 and that gives you the "best image quality" or what the brand think is the best for they calibration. In Onyx is 30/0/0 for some reason, so I don't know how the vivid enchantment affects the default settings or things like that...any way, are only thoughts you can improve that's it 😉.

@@goodereader HAhahahaha - indeed. People always want more without noticing how much time it takes you to do all that. Good review.

Yes, Failing to talk about literally the most important and biggest difference between the two devices is definitely not a win.

@KevinIsAwake If you do a review but do not have enough time to talk about the real difference between them, then I don't know why you do the review vs. then...

We have no idea what you're talking about. There is no bias. We are not in bed with any company. Good e reader is its own entity and is not a partner of any other brand, nor are we sponsored by any brand

uhh okay there

I had a similar question but between an ereader and an ipad mini. I read a lot so for me the ereader was better because it was less strain on my eyes and the battery life. However, I do have an s8 tab ultra and it so good and fast for multi tasking that I wouldn't trade it for these devices. The writing experience on the s8 is amazing too. I'd only consider these devices if your eyes need the rest or if you'll use them primarily or exclusively for writing.

@@MarianoPerez I have a Samsung Tab S9 Ultra and it’s so good, BUT I’m still going to buy the Tab Ultra C so I can use both right next to each other, and as you very well mentioned I will use the Tab Ultra C mainly to read & write, keep notes, scan documents, I love how portable they are....

Because they're made from different companies

@Good e-Reader I knew that already. So we should go for the Onyx being they are nearly identical devices. There are no perks for the extra $100 on Bigme.

@@Bb4na Just buy the cheaper version. The stylus on Bigme looks better with the buttons tho.

Should Bigme consider lowering the price after competitive Onyx showed they are offering the same quality for a less price

Yes

Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!

Unless you have these things under a microscope.. to the average person, and the fair weather enthusiast.. these are the exact same things They perform identically, look identical, and do the same things with the same amount of functionality

@@goodereader From what I've checked myself, the Tab Ultra C uses a Snapdragon 665 with an Adreno 610 while the Inknote Color+ uses a Helio P35. The Snapdragon 665 has almost double the performance of the Helio P35 so saying the performance is the same is simplifying it too much, no?

@@dittdattdott this is the info I was hoping to find. It's so difficult to find what SOC these e-ink devices run! the marketing is purposefully obtuse and vague in this regard.

​@@dittdattdott so in this case the Onyx tablet is superior in power, right? Compared to Kaleido 3

uhh, no it doesnt. "Bigg-mee" BIG and then ME. -_-

they did, it's called The Galy😀😀

Correct, which we actually made ourselves in collaboration with bigme

You're a little bit uninformed, the internals of the pen are the exact same thing purchased from the exact same place. All pens are purchased from Wacom Just like all the screens are purchased from eink And the tips are the exact same things from Wacom So no, it is not "bogus" and there is no "compatibility" issue. Thanks

@@goodereader You are Correct - however a comparison of the actual Styluses would have been nice since they are very different in features before removing them from the test and using a neutral stylus for fairness.

@@kevinisawake you both have good points. my question, can we use the bigme stylus on the boox ultra C pro screen?

but it is unbiased. I have no idea why you would think either one had anything to do with us

We do not have a thing going with big me. No one pays us for reviews And we've been in the industry for 14 years and have handled nearly a thousand devices Thank you
