"Boox has shared more details about its next smartphone-sized e-reader through a series of posts on China's Weibo. First teased at IFA 2025 last month with very limited hands-on opportunities, the new device will be called the Boox P6 Pro in China where it's expected to launch on October 9th. It will feature a SIM card tray so, unlike the Boox Palma devices, it won't be solely dependent on Wi-Fi, and will be available with either a color or black-and-white E Ink screen."
"The full technical specifications for each version have also yet to be revealed, but the color version of the P6 Pro will feature a 16MP camera on the back - which is mostly useful for digitizing documents - as well as 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. That can be expanded to up to 2TB using the device's hybrid SIM card tray that can also accommodate a microSD memory card."
"Based on our time with the color version of the P6 Pro at IFA 2025, its limited color reproduction capabilities seem to indicate it's using the same E Ink Kaleido 3 display found in devices like the Kobo Libra Colour that's limited to just 4,096 colors. If that's the case, black-and-white content will be displayed at 300ppi while color will be limited to 150ppi as a result of how the Kaleido 3 technology works."
Boox P6 Pro will launch in China on October 9 with a SIM card tray and options for either a color or black-and-white E Ink screen. The color version includes a 16MP rear camera for document digitization, 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage expandable to 2TB via a hybrid SIM/microSD tray. Mobile data support enables apps like WhatsApp and Zoom, but cellular voice and SMS capabilities remain unconfirmed. Limited color reproduction points to E Ink Kaleido 3 with about 4,096 colors, 300ppi for black-and-white content and 150ppi for color. Both versions include adjustable front light, color temperature control, and a light sensor. Stylus support is included.
