At the time, these two e-readers with compact displays were limited to China, but the Pro variant is now making way to global markets under a different name. For seekers worldwide, BOOX recently pulled the wraps off the Go 6 (Gen II), which comes with the same vibrant colors and is a pronounced step up over the previously drab-looking Go 6 (2024).<\/p>\n<p>As its name suggests, the second-generation BOOX Go 6 comes with a 6-inch ePaper display (BOOX refrains from making an E-Ink claim here, and the exact make is unclear). Despite its small size, the display supports a high resolution of 1448 x 1072 pixels, ensuring a print-quality 300 dpi output. The monochrome display supports a backlight with adjustable warmth.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Boox Go 6 (Gen ii) screen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-64w-36h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-1000w-563h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-1536w-864h.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-675w-380h.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-300w-170h.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-1280w-720h.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen-840w-472h.jpg 840w\" alt=\"Boox Go 6 (Gen ii) screen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-screen.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unlike the BOOX Palma, which feels more like a smartphone than an e-reader, the Go 6 (Gen II) adopts a more Kindle-like form factor, especially with the chin at the bottom, which makes it easier to grip. The 160g of weight (less than an iPhone Air) also feels bearable. However, unlike the latest Palma, you would miss out on a color display.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, the small display wouldn\u2019t prevent you from using a stylus, as BOOX supports the InkSense Plus pen. But unlike other bigger Kindle Scribe rivals from BOOX, such as the recently teased Note X6, the pen won\u2019t be included in the box and will be sold separately.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Boox Go 6 (Gen ii) stylus\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-64w-36h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-1000w-563h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-1536w-864h.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-675w-380h.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-300w-170h.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-1280w-720h.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus-840w-472h.jpg 840w\" alt=\"Boox Go 6 (Gen ii) stylus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Boox-Go-6-Gen-ii-stylus.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Like its other offerings, the BOOX Go 6 (Gen II) also runs on Android, albeit Android 11, with a custom skin focused on ebooks.
