So what are your thoughts on Boox Palma? Would you switch to an eInk phone (if a good one existed)? You can help me out by tapping the like button on this video (it helps a ton with the algorithm)
It's too bad that Yotaphone went bankrupt I think a double sided OLED/Eink phone is a great idea. I'm interested in this device but really what I dream of is a eink display that connects to your phone via bluetooth and mirrors its display for reading. This would potentially both save costs and mean that you rarely need to upgrade it will continue to work with new phones as you upgrade that.
@@Beastw1ck Goodereader apparently told Boox in a meeting that they should make a phone with kaleido 3; that now was the right time. So hopefully in a year we'll have a kaleido 3 phone!
For the love of god, why don’t these companies launch two devices? One designed for the parents and one designed for the children both with cellular connection so your child doesn’t need to have a smart phone they can have an ereader and read all their favourites mid or early childhood books and you can call them or they can call you in an emergency. It’s a massive massive massive marketing opportunity totally being missed
This is great, image if they turned this into a real phone with a built in stylus! it would be the perfect balance between light phone and smart phone while being very practical.
Really hope they make this writing friendly as well, I take so many text notes and wish my Hisense A9 was compatible with my ereader pen. Please bring us a pocket sized note taker, fully customisable, google play phone Boox!
Great product. I would order today, but I feel that Boox will totally nail it on the 2nd or 3 revision. The 2nd revision will be by late spring 2024 based on their track record. The product has justified itself. Lots of folks love it and are interested in a bit more capability. Does the “listen” function on Reader work. This would really seal the deal for me.
I went the Apple Watch as a Phone route for less distraction. I love it but there were a few things that were missing. (A) Public library apps find it hard pressed to do Audible when I can get the same books for free (b) Does not Bluetooth to my car. This is PRECISELY what Ive been wanting for a less distracting portable media experience. This combined with my Apple Watch my phone wont leave the drawer.
I'd like to hear about the real-world battery life on this, with normal backlight settings and reading as the primary activity. I have an old Kindle that is starting to annoy me with utterly random battery life, and while I can read on my phone (and often do) having a nice backlit e-Ink is just so superior. This is really interesting but if it still needs charging every couple days, it's not enough of a step up.
Great video - I think the thing keeping me from getting a 'dumb phone' is that I love taking and sharing photos. I've tried carrying round a point-and-shoot but as I work in design and am constantly sending images to clients - the smartphone is just so much more efficient. I want to see a camera-phone that is more camera than phone basically.
For personal reasons I'm in search of a dumb phone and I'll carry a DSLR with me for pictures. I actually didn't like that lite phone 3 is adding a camera.
Pen support and a Sim tray would make me buy this immediately. Would be a great option for reading, writing and editing Boox Notes on the fly. Btw, next time they ask you to keep a SIMcret...uh...i mean secret, please make sure to absolutely not drop any subtle hints for us ;)
I wonder if they'll ever make an e-ink screen with an *_'area screen refresh?'_* What I mean is... not refresh the parts of a screen that haven't changed but only areas that have, such as a TH-cam video that isn't being viewed full screen while leaving the rest of the screen unchanged. Now that would save even more battery power if it could be implemented. Interesting product which no doubt will add a colour screen in the not too distant future.
I would think they could do that with their GPUs. Regarding color, I think they would probably have battery life issues at this form-factor. The Tab Ultra C sucks battery way more than the other devices I have.
SIM card would be the game changer. I think there would be a thankfull market for eink-smartphones. I was lucky and got one of the palmas and I'm really excited.
For me, I would probably use Google Voice in the absence of a SIM card. I find myself in WiFi covered areas a lot so it would work pretty well assuming there's a mic. Still waiting for the Wacom support for the Palma though. I have to figure that's coming at some point because it seems to be one of the top requests. But I wonder how much the price will go up. $250 is already kinda high for this without it.
I have zero desire for an e-ink phone, but if this thing had a built-in stylus and the ability to handwrite lists, I'd own one already. That said, I'm still super tempted. The specs look way better than the InkPalms. (Have you tried an InkPalm? If it's just being used as a super small reading device maybe the specs on it are okay?) I'm going to purchase an e-ink device (or two) of some kind this year. However, as someone that's been using an iphone since Gen 1 and macs at home and work, I'm struggling to understand the ecosystem. I'm a total android newb. Perhaps this would be a good video topic? For example, is there any way to sync Boox devices to each other - like say if I picked up a Palma and a Tab Ultra C/ Note Air 2 Plus? I'm interested in being able to at least view those notes on an ipad/mac as well. What are my options? Are there third party software solutions that will allow Boox devices to play nice with apple devices? If I put a to-do list together on a larger device will it sync automatically so it's on the Palma if I carry that one around? Does the Palma on screen keyboard (I assume there is one?) work decently enough to jot down quick lists? I likely have ADHD and I just really need some kind of list taking and note taking device that is dumb enough that I won't be constantly pulled into distractions like I am with an iphone/ipad/computer. I like writing things down by hand because I find that really helps with retention and as a creative, analog-flavored tools also tend to work better for me.
I wish I could use this for navigation, but it doesn't seem have gps, and map apps might not display their maps well in monochrome. If you've tried it, I'd love to hear how it went.
I do a lot of reading and am seriously considering getting this. I love my iPhone, but using it at the pool or in bright lighting conditions just doesn't work. I am a heavy user of Reader by Readies so this might be the perfect solution for me.
If they could come out with a phone version where google maps functioned well and had both a front and rear facing camera it would be my ideal phone device.
Imagine this, but with a front facing camera, docked stylus (think Samsung S22/23), color e-ink display and 4/5g with e-sim support... they would sell crap tons of them
Can anyone please confirm if this device allows screen rotation? I want to attach a keyboard in the USB-C and use it to write on, with the device placed horizontally.
I guess I understand wanting a SIM card in this, so you can use it asa second phone, but... I'm also guessing most people wouldn't want to rely on a black and white eInk cellphone for very long, and would likely still carry their regular color phone. I can see taking it to the beach or the pool, perhaps, where you have a phone for ermergency;ish pruposes, though.
Great review, especially the part about Readwise Reader. My question is can you highlight and annotate Reader articles - and are these highlights and annotations saved in Readwise?
When it has colour, pen input, and updated Android security features, it will become compelling. Plus SIM card plus dual screen will make this really easy to order.
@@BrandonKBoswellNot e-ink but the big secret is the Microsoft Surface Duo. Picked up a brand new one for $327 a year ago. Trust me for reading, despite the screen, nothing beats it. Plus you can annotate. I don't think a 2 screen e-ink display is too much of an engineering. When people don't ask, vendors don't produce. But look at smart watches and stylus pens. They arrived. Given the choice between a 10.3 inch flat tablet or a dual screen 5 inch, I think a lot of people will be tempted. But I agree with you. It will be likely 2-3 years before the first expensive one. By then maybe smart glasses will be projecting in front of our eyes.
It's not correct that it only uses battery when the screen changes. Unless you're turning it off, it's still running in the background. It will be quite efficient but it's still using the battery when it's on
I was wondering if you’ve ever tried to use the alarm on this device as a morning alarm. I saw commentary about another Boox device saying that it wasn’t loud enough to serve as a morning alarm lol :)
I wonder if they can use 2 processors one for screen refresh and for one background apps, would it speed up the process. Not like the battery is taking a hit. I’d really love a device like this I wonder if it would eventual help my ADHD, for now I just delete the big 3 for a week but even that has its limitations.
From what i know they use a very responsive e ink screen which called carta 1200 and yes indeed they applied a dedicated GPU which help to cope better the ghosting e ink technology traditionally suffers from beside the the main processor which is the Snapdragon 665 as far as i remember which is decent for this device case uses and all of these help makes the device very fast to work with despite its an e ink device .
Excellent video! I'm actually interested in buying this device to use for taking notes in Obsidian. I see you also installed Obsidian on your Boox Palma. What is the note taking experience? And have you used an external bluetooth keyboard with the Boox Palma? I plan on combining the Palma with a Nuphy Air 75, for anywhere writing and note-taking without straining my eyes with an LCD screen.
I have no idea who this is for, if it doesn't have sim support then youd need another phone anyways, and at that point you might as well buy one of their tablets, i have the nova air, larger screen, comes with pen and case, still runs Android, if they make a successor to this phone they definitely need the sim and itd be cool to see a color eink display
Would definitely benefit a ton from having cellular support. I could go either way on the color piece. Writing would be nice though. My wife was asking me this morning whether it’s supports writing.
That device is very interesting. Could be awesome with sim card, sdcard and stylus compatibility. But I really dislike those rounded corners on the display ...
Hi Brandon great video! 2 queries. We’re you able to customize your home screen?im looking to make it as minimalist as possible. how are you syncing Obsidian to it?
How can be so many years of people asking for a smartphone with e-ink still no one makes it…? is like it was forbidden or something. No company wants to make money with something like this? Is a ux problem??
My guess is that it’s too niche and/or would be one of those things where people think “yeah this covers 99% of the things my color-screen phone does but that other 1% sucks, let me just be safe and get a normal smartphone”
The *only* thing thats stopping me from buying Boox is the janky way that you sorta can and sorta cant sideload as I dont like using the crappy (spyware) ebook apps
Looks more portable than kindle . But To be honest its not recommended to read in such tiny device. Will damage the eyes In long run. Better to use a kindle.
Do you think you can use Google Voice to make and receive calls via a WIFI connection. I use Google Voice on all my android phones and an Android Tablet which seems to work rather well. Minus a SIM card, it should work fine via WIFI.
I will try to get some more specific numbers as I can use it more, but so far the battery life has been great. I think I’ve charged it twice in two months
So what are your thoughts on Boox Palma? Would you switch to an eInk phone (if a good one existed)?

I'd be happy if they added GPS and did actual waterproofing... for outdoors use like navigation, gps caching... i could live without GSM 😁
That would be sweet as device to be one with nature.
I think it does have a gps module. If you have a wifi connection it can run maps in theory
It seems a good phone. We need to check the multi-tasking.
If they add the capacity of having a SIM, then it could be really interesting phone to buy.
I'd 100% buy the phone version of this.
SIM card would be the game changer. I think there would be a thankfull market for eink-smartphones. I was lucky and got one of the palmas and I'm really excited.
