Boox is releasing two versions of its new 10.3-inch Android 15-powered e-paper tablet, catering to those who want something on the lighter side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new tablet might come with a version of Android that\u2019s technically old, but that means very little given how the company\u2019s e-paper tablets operate. Boox has a track record of releasing solid devices that go all in on drawing and reading with some of the best e-ink displays available.<\/p>\n

The Boox Go 10.3 is coming out again, but with the \u201cGen II\u201d moniker. That upgrade means a couple of things; namely, a better processor and an upgrade to Android 15 from Android 12. The new tablets also support Boox\u2019s new InkSense Plus stylus, and bring an \u201cadvanced octa-core processor,\u201d which looks to be a Snapdragon 690. They also come in a slightly lighter package, reduced to 364g for the more expensive option.<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind a secondary model is what Boox says was a point of contention on the first generation. Without an illuminated display, the Boox Go 10.3 was difficult to see in low-light situations, just like any classic e-reader. In the Gen II series, there is a classic model and a \u201cLumi\u201d version.<\/p>\n

The Lumi edition brings a dual-tone front light to help with writing and reading in dimly lit environments. It\u2019s the same approach that makes some of the company\u2019s other e-ink tablets fun to use in all situations. In this version, though, that front light option is now available in an extremely thin (4.8mm) and light package. The light-free version is even thinner at 4.6mm.<\/p>\n

The tablets will be powered by a 3,700mAh battery, which Boox implies will be a \u201cfull-day\u201d experience. Time will tell how well the tablet actually does, considering the models with double the size can get weeks of use on a single charge.<\/p>\n

Even if it\u2019s a couple of days, an ultra-portable Android-powered e-reader is…<\/p>\n
