"Designed for professionals, students, and creatives alike, the Note Air5 C combines power and flexibility in a thin, elegant frame"

Overview

  • The 6.13-inch Palma 2 Pro switches to a Kaleido 3 color E Ink display, adds a data-only 5G SIM and A‑GPS, and upgrades to Android 15 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
  • In color mode the Palma 2 Pro’s effective resolution halves to 412 × 824, while grayscale retains the full 824 × 1648 panel clarity.
  • Boox implements dual‑SIM on the Palma 2 Pro by repurposing the microSD slot, which eliminates expandable storage when used for a second line.
  • The Palma 2 Pro is priced at $400 with a magnetic case bundle and is offered in black or white, with mobile calling reliant on VoIP services rather than traditional voice networks.
  • The 10.3-inch Note Air5 C runs Android 15, uses a color E Ink panel, adds pogo pins for an optional keyboard cover, and ships with an updated Pen3 stylus; it costs $530 or $607 in a keyboard bundle, with Hong Kong shipments underway and U.S. deliveries expected in mid‑November.
