Ahhh! I finally got my dream e-reader, y'all!! Thanks to you guys and BOOX themselves!!🤍📱😅 Some things I want to mention: ~ Cost.. I usually forget to add prices to all the gadgets I unbox and review on my channel. Sorry about that. The boox palma typically goes for $279, which is roughly the same price as the oasis, which has outdated software, and the battery life isn't that great. It's definitely on the costy side for the size, but as I expressed at the end, the size is a huge PRO for me and the specs as well. I did a lot of research on other phone sized e-readers, but the specs weren't even close or as good as the palma, IMO! So don't go cheaper if you've been wanting a phone sized e-reader, especially because customer service isn't guaranteed with other companies! ~ Size... Again. For me I personally love the size, but I will keep on using my boox page and kindle because I still love to read on a bigger size, but the size on the palma is the PERFECT size for bed and popping it in small bags when you're on the go! It's been two weeks so far and I haven't switched it out yet, but now I'm yearning for a bigger screen, but I'll be keeping the palma next to my bed since I usually read around bed time because of my schedule. ~ battery I mentioned that the battery can last up to 2 weeks. Again, take account on what apps you use, and if you toggle the bluetooth on the battery, it won't last as long. I'm a binge reader for the most part, so when I'm reading bigger books, I have to grab a charger 5-7 days later, but if I'm just reading 1-2 chapters a night or every other night it can last up to almost 2 weeks for me. And thanks to BOOX, we can save even more power through the settings! ~ lagging I've seen some comments on the "lagging" on tiktok, and that's just cause of the e-ink technology. It's not gonna have a 120-hour display like our $600 and up phones... I think that should be common sense. Like I shown in the video, you'll have to tinker with the refresh modes depending on what you'll be doing on the palma. { I might have missed some more things. If I did, don't be afraid to ask in the comments AFTER you watch the full video! Thank you!🫶🏼
I hope you don't mind this question, but does the e-reader have to be in black and white? I mean can you like change it from black and white to normal colors, like on a phone or tablet? Have a BLESSED DAY 😊❤
@Flora_Fl0w3r. if you want color, BOOX has one, but in a bigger size, and it's more costly. There aren't many e-readers that come with color, and that's what a lot of us wants because it helps with eye fatigue. It would be cool if they came out with one with color in this same size cause I would enjoy reading my manhwa on this better than my phone!
I've been obsessing over this since you posted your short lol. I've been using my Remarkable as an e-reader the past year - it's a great device, but sometimes too big for comfortable reading plus there's no backlight. I need an excuse notto buy the Palma 🤡🤡🤡
😅 I've seen that brand on my timeline a few times. It's definitely big in size, but it looks for daily tasks and so much more! You won't be disappointed with the boox palma if you decide to get it!🤍🤍
@nananajiglo.2743 2:15 that back light still looks it would cuase eye strain because it is white and not orange. But android 11 is pretty old now and could be deciptable to viruses, now that they don't probably provide security updates. It honestly reminds me of the first foldable razr reboot (the first since they originally brought back the razr name with Droid razr in 2011) and it got crap for having outdated android on it. Although this is only 300 in American dollars, where as the razr was a grand. I've also already seen another aesthetic unboxing youtuber review this as well as the larger traditional traditional e reader sized colour version and I remember that they said they didn't reach for it very often, but I can't remember this reason. This person also had a kindle paperwhite and they preferred reading on that
Same. Already have an iPad Pro, a ROG ally, Nintendo switch, and my phone and I just bought the Palma.😭 To be fair. I’m learning Korean and will strictly be using the device for only Korean.
Ngl this looks so cool! I really like that you can download different apps. I’ll stick to my kindle paperwhite for now, but I might have to get this later.
Wasn't expecting to take a 2 week break, but I definitely needed it!! I'll be posting another video this week!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BYE AND WATCHING 'LIL OLE MEEE🤍🤍
@@nananajiglo.2743 YESSSSSS I'll be waiting!!!! Aww I'm happy you got your deserved break! I love watching your videos it's so calming for me plus your tech reviews and book recs are top tier 🫶💗!!!
i am so tempted to get one but i'm worried because it uses an older version of android, and it doesn't seem possible to update it in the future to any newer android version
Oh, that’s a dealbreaker. The OS would be old in no time. Anyhow, I’m still using my old Android tablet with its old OS that’s no longer upgradable too.
I'm really in love with this, as a heavy kindle user (been using the same kindle that I got for free for 10 years), I would like to try it, but I just can't justify that price! almost 300 dollars for this? I can bargain for an actual high quality recent phone for that price if I tried enough. I would get it if it were between 50-150, but that price is unjustifiable to me
Your video is the best review of this lil' device! So cozy and cute! My birthday is in two weeks and it's on my wishlist, so I've been binge watching all videos featuring this baby hehe
Yes, I've been a LOT on the palma! I've only had it for almost a month now, and even though I wanted to read on my other devices, I can't switch it out yet because of how lightweight and small it is!
No, unfortunately, but BOOX has other e-readers that come with a pen for note taking, but in bigger sizes. Just regular note typing will work with this though!

I should get one of these because I usually spend too much time on my iPhone rather than reading and I need to read more, Ty if u read this

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I don't really "need" it. lol Seems like I'm starting to have a collection of tech.
Same. Already have an iPad Pro, a ROG ally, Nintendo switch, and my phone and I just bought the Palma.😭 To be fair. I’m learning Korean and will strictly be using the device for only Korean.
I received mine a week ago. I’ve been reading on it all week and I love it. And I have yet to charge it. It’s not like reading on a phone at all!
Can you rotate the screen? Like if you turn it upside down can the screen shift to accommodate that?
Had mine for 2 months and have read 3 books on it. love it!
Such a great device!!
Ngl this looks so cool! I really like that you can download different apps. I’ll stick to my kindle paperwhite for now, but I might have to get this later.
I got this to make it easier to travel with. My paper white is amazing but it’s too big.
Always happy to see a new video from you❤ This lil reader is super cute!!
Thank you so much for watching!!! It means so much to me!!🤍🤍 I seriously love this thing!!
Nice review! It looks so cool but its a little bit expensive, i hope they can make a lite version with no camera and speaker.
AHH YOUR BACK I've been waiting for you to come back!! This looks so cool honestly especially for books and reading definitely checking this out!
Wasn't expecting to take a 2 week break, but I definitely needed it!! I'll be posting another video this week!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Hehehehe mirco SD card 1TB !?!?!?! Also all the ao3 and fanfiction I want to read !?!?!?!?
Imagine all the things you can store on boox e-readers omgii!

I absolutely love this!!! I need one ☺️ Love your customization! So gorgeous. ❤
Thank youuu!! You'll definitely love itt!! Welcome back to youtube!!🫰🏼🤍🤍🤍
@@nananajiglo.2743 Awww thanks!!
really thinking if i should upgrade to the latest kindle paperwhite or get a boox palma... 🤔
Watch videos on both and look at the specs to see which one you'd enjoy more. I equally love both, and I wouldn't be able to choose between the two.
Im really watching this on my Boox palma
Wow a real one😭
Welcome to the club lol
Your video is the best review of this lil' device! So cozy and cute! My birthday is in two weeks and it's on my wishlist, so I've been binge watching all videos featuring this baby hehe
THANK YOU!!🤍🤍 I can't wait for you to get it! You won't be disappointed!!🫰🏼🫰🏼
Gran idea…
Thank you so much for informing be about the existence of this! I love it 💓 As a always a wonderful video. I love your content 💖
Thank you sooo much for watching!! 💗💗
Bought this for my birthday love your videos 🥰❤️
Ahh, really?! Mine was last week! It's about to be a month, and I haven't switched back to my other e-readers yet! 😭🤍
Hi, have you read a lot on Palma compared to boox page/kindle? Thanks.
Yes, I've been a LOT on the palma! I've only had it for almost a month now, and even though I wanted to read on my other devices, I can't switch it out yet because of how lightweight and small it is!
@@nananajiglo.2743 Thanks!
Is Boox Palma against water even if it is completely drowned in water?
can you write on it like google docs or journaling?
No, unfortunately, but BOOX has other e-readers that come with a pen for note taking, but in bigger sizes. Just regular note typing will work with this though!
@@nananajiglo.2743 ok, thx💕💕
This one is too expensive , is there another one but cheaper ?
There's one from xiaomi, but it's not good at all. It's called the inkpalm 5, I think. It goes for under $100 USD
Why not just have the kindle app on your phone?
Already explained why in the video
I wonder am I able to get chrome on here and read my fics on AO3?
Is it back lit so that you can read at night?
Yes!
I ordered mine n white n i love it! I haven't picked up my kindle paperwhite signature edition since I received my boox palma this past Friday...!!
SAAME!!
No where in Uk sells this😭😭
Waitt! Foreall?!!!
@@nananajiglo.2743 only US and Hong Kong :(
