great video! I can't decide between this aipaper and the upcoming a5x2... I will mainly read CBZ (mangas), epubs and annotate/scribble a lot on PDFs, so it's important to have little lag when pinching in and out to zoom... thanks!
It think you're right about the panel. Just an fyi you can measure diagonal corner to corner, take width & height... To easily compute or verify surface area. Do the math myself I began to realize the aspect ratio might have changed from 16x9 to 16x10 for the Carta's 1300² number to make any sense. That's my guess any ways, and you have the device, so you could easily get a ride out to verify any thing right away.
@@macmickkind of wild to me how reMarkable started mass market adoption of this tech and then more or less totally fumbled the ball in the years following.
Great video! Supernote confirmed a 10.7 inch Carta 1300 300ppi display on Reddit. I think the Remarkable screen tech looks phenomenal, but the device ecosystem is still much the same. It will be cool to see the reviews.
I saw the reddit post, correct me if I'm wrong but Mulan mentioned 300ppi and 10.7" right? I think that means we can assume 1300 since the panels are roughly that size
Kudos for the screenshot of the mobileread wiki! I’d conclude that the 1300 is indeed better, but you can ignore the numbers. Or at least read them as “25% better marketing” or some such. As an aside I wonder if remarkable is adding a *single* colour layer to their screens. Ie just for highlighting. Given how K3 is built I’m not sure but it’d be an interesting approach
Ikr haha, like 27% better than what? I can try and post a comparison picture tomorrow of 1300 outside. I think it will do it more justice than video does. That's an interesting point I hadn't thought about, if they just want it for highlighting it could be some proprietary tech that has less compromises without a frontlight. I'm not sure there will be a frontlight given the teaser looks thicker than an rM2. We'll know soon!
Does anyone know if the Supernote A5X2 is going to sport the Carta 1300 screen? I recall someone mention the screen is going to be slightly larger than the A5X, so it sounds possible.
@karlmunford7000 I think it has to be, supernote is banking on the device lasting a very long time so if they don't use the latest tech right now it will already be behind everyone else in a few months. I'm guessing that's part of why it was delayed, securing a large amount of those 1300s.
@@VladimirKostek Thats really good news, I really want to replace my A5X with one, knowing thereafter it will last for years. However, I'm wringing my hands with the knowledge that the A4X2 might follow at the end of this year or the beginning of the next, and if it has a split screen it will suit my needs perfectly, I don't have the funds to purchase both right now but maybe I'll just grab the A5X2 and then just save my pennies during 2025!

🙋♂Hi Vlad! ReMarkable has always kept things simple and a color version would be something I doubt they would pursue unless they have developed some color screen in secret that would out-perform Kaliedo 3 by leaps and bounds. At this point I am thinking they may use a Carta 1300 screen and allow some more memory storage.
@em4me-Dan I'm wondering if they threw in that green 🟩 highlighter to throw us off. I wouldn't put it past them to have an exclusive deal with E Ink for a new panel tho, they are the biggest competitor in the game. We shall see 👀
Not sure how much sense it has what you are doing. You took 2 devices running different os, which means they run different process in the backend; they are running different versions of the drivers driving the screen, and different hardware driving the actual screen itself. What is the point? You have no probes attached to the PCB to show which factors are influencing the parameters you outline, so the fact that one is faster or darker or what not may be totally independent from the screen and just be a consequence of newer drivers, newer hardware or newer software or even different configurations. If you can source the barebone screen and screen driver, and hook that up to the same exact output, to get the same exact signal, then yes, that would make sense and you would get a real apple-to-apple comparison.
I cannot unfortunately do that, the viwoods is a prototype device. My goal is to evaluate the product objectively, if I tear it apart I would not be able to fulfill that goal and relay information to my audience about it. This was more of an observation video, e Ink states that it has been improved and I was just trying to relay that it looks like and feels like it has on this panel. I'd love to get down to the nitty gritty science but I simply can't. Hope it was still useful for you to see. I posted some photos in a comment to show the contrast better as it doesn't come across as clear in video
@@VladimirKostek Understood; then you should leave out the considerations about the screen versus the assumptions about the Carta screen itself. It is totally legit to say that the device you have behave differently from devices that have a different screen model; but compare the actual screen model specs and performances is the point I was making. I am saying this because someone may be inclined to think you have info on the screen performances, which are not based on observation, and as such may go out there making statements that may prove incorrect. Considering how much competition there is in this small niche, it is important to show products clearly, so I would go for keeping reviews related more to the product at hand, more than the actual tech behind it, unless you are willing to take things apart and probe and reverse engineer firmware onboard, to get to the bottom of it. Thanks for your video BTW
Currently only the Viwoods ai paper, the A5 X2 will have that panel when it comes out. I did a livestream about the viwoods th-cam.com/video/IRT0njV3OyE/w-d-xo.html
@VladimirKostek they look very promising. I was thinking that maybe one of the onyx devices will have it as I like the ability to run android apps and also the pdf annotations for reading academic articles but I'm open to the other devices of they offer this better
Using actual paper for comparison also shows how much the contrast could be improved in the future. I appreciate the +20% compared to the previous gen, but it still looks pretty grey.
The video does not do it justice. I'm going to go outside and capture some comparisons on photo today and leave a pinned comment with those photos so people can hopefully see the difference better.

I just measured it, looks like 21cm X 16.5cm
man i really hope there's a Boox Tab Mini C update with a faster SoC and Carta 1300. i dont even want color! just the formfactor and software!
The reMarkable screen is hurting my eyes in this video. Good thing I only have to wait 40 minutes for the announcement of their replacement!
The PPI of the pro is only 3 higher than the rM2 so it wont be much crisper!
Don’t hold your breath, I already returned Paper Pro model since it’s nothing impressive.
