I veered towards using the highest refresh rate in all instances since it made navigating the device and flipping through a book feel a lot smoother and more fluid. In the same vein as the Oynx Boox Tab Ultra, there are multiple refresh rates to choose from, although it is not specified what these refresh rates are. Reading in direct sunlight was more than doable but more impressively, I was able to take notes and get a few chapters in before bed without feeling any eye strain whatsoever or the need for an external light source, which I find to be a must for e-readers. It was very easy on the eyes compared to OLED displays and is massively aided by Moon Light 2 technology, which is essentially a backlight. The Tab X comes with a monochrome E Ink Mobius Carta 13.3-inch display, with a 1650×2200 resolution. Audio from the device itself was surprisingly punchy and vibrant, easily filling up our office space and having a higher level of volume than I expected. The inclusion of Bluetooth 5.0 meant that I could easily connect my AirPods 2, and I didn’t experience any disruption or distortion while listening to audio. There is a singular USB-C charging port on the bottom of the device, nestled between the two speakers. This was only a small nuisance, with a few occasions wherein I thought I had lost the stylus completely, only to find it hidden at the bottom of my backpack. I was able to comfortably hold it with one hand and it was barely there in my backpack, making it very easy to take on the go even if its body is a lot larger than some smaller e-readers, like the 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note Air 2 Plus.Ī stylus does come bundled with the Boox Tab X, although there is no way to connect the pen to the device, like the magnetic strip on the Huawei MatePad Paper. The back of the Tab X is made of aluminium-magnesium alloy and is prone to smudging, but it felt very sturdy to use. There are some small orange accents on the branding, and I appreciated the lack of a large logo on the back, as it made it feel a little more premium and mature than some of the heavily branded Kindles out there. The Tab X has a minimalist design and comes in one colourway, Black, although in certain lighting it had an almost pine green finish. Unfortunately, the asking price of £879.99/$879.99/€949.99 puts it well above what seems reasonable for an e-reader, making me yearn more for a traditional iPad than I ever have before. The Onyx Boox Tab X has all of these benefits, aided by its enormous 13.3-inch display, improved battery life and boosted refresh rate. Not only does it have support for the Google Play Store, but the bundled stylus allowed me to take notes and doodle like I was using a pen and paper. I have already had the pleasure of reviewing the Onyx Boox Note Air 2 which is an excellent digital e-reader. E-ink readers are becoming more popular in no small thanks to Oynx, which has released a plethora of new e-readers over the past year.Īmazon has dominated the e-ink space with its never-ending range of Kindle e-readers, but more companies are managing to break into the spotlight with their own take on e-ink devices.
