Boox Palma 2 review: ain’t broke, not fixed

Summary

Nutrition label

55% Informative

The Boox Palma 2 is a smartphone-sized e-reader with an E Ink screen that takes days to drain the battery.

Onyx 's Palma is the Palma , a device with access to all the apps in the Play Store and an easy to look at.

The original Palma benchmarks like a solid midrange phone from 2017 .

The Palma has a newer chip and Android 13 , which means you can expect it to work and get updates for at least two years .

There are some other options out there (here’s a good Reddit thread discussing some of them), but nobody, including Onyx , has done this type of product justice yet. I’d love to see someone get it right. Until then, the Palma 2 will do just fine. It lets me read my books and articles, stores my podcasts and my music, and makes it damn near impossible to get distracted by TikTok . Still a winning combo in my book.
