Most e-readers and digital notebooks are designed for quiet corners and slow mornings, but real life rarely stands still. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or juggling tasks between meetings, you need a device that keeps up without adding bulk or forcing you to hunt for Wi-Fi every time you want to sync or browse.
The BOOX Palma 2 Pro is a color ePaper device built specifically for motion. The pocketable form blends a soft, newspaper-like display with features that make it function as a reader, note-taker, and connected companion. It’s designed for people who want to stay productive and present, wherever the day leads them.
Designer: BOOX
The 6.13-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink screen delivers gentle hues that remain readable in direct sunlight without the harsh glare of traditional screens. The display never strains your eyes, even during marathon reading sessions. Adjustable dual-tone front lights with a built-in sensor adapt to your surroundings, making it equally comfortable for late-night reading or outdoor use.
The hybrid SIM slot stands out as a genuinely useful upgrade. Pop in a data-only SIM and access 5G networks for streaming podcasts, syncing reading progress, or checking weather updates without Wi-Fi. Alternatively, use dual SIMs or pair a SIM with a microSD card for up to 2TB of additional storage, perfect for travelers and remote workers. It should be noted that while network calls and SMS are not supported, but Internet calls and chats are.
Built-in A-GPS adds another layer of versatility by providing reliable navigation for trails, cities, or daily commutes. You can map your route, track your position, and read or take notes all from the same pocket-sized device. This combination of connectivity and portability makes the Palma 2 Pro feel uniquely complete.
Support for BOOX’s new InkSense Plus stylus transforms the device into a digital memo pad. With 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, you can jot down ideas, sketches, reminders, or quick to-do lists on the move. The stylus connects directly without Bluetooth and charges via USB-C, making it simple to carry and use whenever inspiration strikes. That said, this is no Wacom tech, so don’t expect other styluses to work on it.
Performance hardware includes an octa-core processor, 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage, ensuring everything stays fast and responsive. Android 15 and Google Play support mean you can install your favorite apps and customize your workflow. EinkWise display presets let you switch between optimized modes for reading, browsing, or note-taking with a single tap.
The smart side button supports customizable gestures for screenshots, full refresh, and other functions you use frequently. At just 175 grams and 8.8 millimeters thin, the device fits comfortably in one hand and slips easily into pockets or small bags. The water-repellent finish protects against daily spills and light rain.
Real-world use cases span from reading books on trains to mapping unfamiliar cities to capturing meeting notes on cafe napkins digitally. The combination of color ePaper, mobile connectivity, and stylus support creates a rare blend of analog comfort and digital power that adapts to whatever rhythm your day demands.
Color E Ink, mobile data, and stylus support finally come together in a device that fits in your pocket. Whether you’re navigating a new city, reading between meetings, or capturing ideas on the move, the Palma 2 Pro adapts to whatever your day demands. BOOX has created something genuinely different here, proving that portable devices can be both mindful and connected.
