BOOX Mira Pro 25.3 Colour is excluded from the table because it is an external E Ink monitor rather than a standalone BOOX reader or tablet.

Go 6 vs Go 7

E-Readers NZ lists the Go 6 with a 6-inch Carta 1300 display, while the Go 7 uses a 7-inch Carta 1300 display and adds physical page-turn buttons. Go 6 is published at 1448 × 1072, 300 PPI, 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC plus microSD, Android 11 with Google Play, a 1,500mAh battery, and approximately 146g. Go 7 is published at 1680 × 1264, 300 PPI, 4GB RAM, 64GB plus microSD, Android 13 with Google Play, a 2,300mAh battery, and approximately 195g. The Go 7 page also states support for the optional BOOX InkSense stylus, sold separately, plus a built-in speaker and microphone. For the dedicated site article, see Go 6 vs Go 7.

Site-listed difference: 6-inch / 146g / 2GB + 32GB on Go 6 versus 7-inch / 195g / 4GB + 64GB, page-turn buttons and optional InkSense input on Go 7.

Palma 2 vs Palma 2 Pro

Both Palma models are published with a 6.13-inch format and 3,950mAh battery, but their displays and hardware differ. Palma 2 uses a Carta 1200 monochrome screen at 1648 × 824 and 300 PPI, with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, microSD expansion up to 2TB, Android 13 and Google Play. The site lists it at approximately 170g and 159 × 80 × 8.0mm. Palma 2 Pro uses Kaleido 3 at 300 PPI in black and white and 150 PPI in colour, with 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, Android 15 and a hybrid SIM/microSD slot. Its page explicitly supports the InkSense Plus stylus sold separately and lists volume/page-turn buttons, fingerprint recognition and a water-repellent design.

Site-listed difference: Palma 2 is Carta 1200 monochrome with Android 13; Palma 2 Pro is Kaleido 3 colour with Android 15, 8GB RAM, mobile-network support and optional InkSense Plus input.

Note Air4 C vs Note Air5 C

The current product specification pages list both models with 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 displays, 6GB RAM, 64GB storage, microSD slots and 3,700mAh batteries. Each is published at 2480 × 1860 / 300 PPI in black and white and 1240 × 930 / 150 PPI in colour, with warm-and-cold front lighting, stylus plus capacitive touch, fingerprint recognition, dual speakers and a microphone. Note Air4 C runs Android 13, is approximately 420g, measures 226 × 193 × 5.8mm, and its standard box includes Pen Plus. Note Air5 C runs Android 15, is approximately 440g, measures 225 × 192 × 5.8mm, and its standard box includes Pen3. Both current product pages state Google Play support.

Site-listed difference: Android 13 / Pen Plus / approx. 420g on Air4 C versus Android 15 / Pen3 / approx. 440g on Air5 C.

Go 10.3 vs Go 10.3 (Gen II)

Both pages publish a 10.3-inch 2480 × 1860, 300 PPI monochrome display, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, a 3,700mAh battery and no front light on the standard model. The original Go 10.3 page identifies Carta 1200, a 2.4GHz octa-core CPU, Android 12 with Google Play and an included Pen Plus. The Go 10.3 (Gen II) page lists an octa-core CPU, Android 15, InkSense Plus stylus touch and an included InkSense Plus stylus. The Gen II standard model is explicitly published at approximately 350g and 235 × 183 × 4.8mm. The current original Go 10.3 page contains conflicting weight and thickness figures in different specification blocks, so those two fields are left as “—” in the master table.

Site-listed difference: Original Go 10.3 lists Carta 1200, Android 12 and Pen Plus; Gen II lists Android 15 and InkSense Plus. Both standard models are published without a front light.

Note Max vs Tab X C

Both are published as 13.3-inch large-format BOOX devices, but Note Max is monochrome Carta 1300 while Tab X C uses Kaleido 3 colour. Note Max is listed at 3200 × 2400 / 300 PPI, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, Android 13, 3,700mAh, approximately 615g and 287.5 × 243 × 4.6mm; it has no front light and its standard box includes Pen Plus. Tab X C is listed at 3200 × 2400 / 300 PPI in black and white and 1600 × 1200 / 150 PPI in colour, with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, Android 13, 5,500mAh, approximately 625g and 287.5 × 243 × 5.3mm. Its standard box includes the BOOX InkSpire stylus and its front light supports warm and cold colour temperature.

Site-listed difference: Note Max is Carta 1300 monochrome with no front light and Pen Plus; Tab X C is Kaleido 3 colour with CTM front light and InkSpire.

Go Color 7 vs Go Color 7 (Gen II)

Both current product pages list 7-inch Kaleido 3 displays, 300 PPI black-and-white / 150 PPI colour output, warm-and-cold front lighting, microSD support, page-turn buttons, a built-in speaker, microphone, 2,300mAh battery, approximately 195g and 156 × 137 × 6.4mm dimensions. The original Go Color 7 specifications list Android 12 and 4GB RAM; its page contains a storage conflict, publishing 32GB in the description/FAQ and 64GB in the Specifications section, so storage is shown as “—” in the master table. Go Color 7 (Gen II) lists Android 13, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, Google Play and optional BOOX InkSense stylus support. Its standard-box list does not explicitly state a stylus, so inclusion remains unverified rather than assumed.

Site-listed difference: Android 12 on the original versus Android 13 and optional InkSense stylus support on Gen II; the original model’s published storage value is internally inconsistent.

FAQ

BOOX comparison questions

These answers use information published on ereaders.co.nz only. Where the site does not publish a measured answer, that limitation is stated directly.

Ereaders.co.nz does not publish one universal “best value” winner across all of these models. This comparison therefore shows the site’s published specifications plus live WooCommerce price and stock data instead of adding an external value ranking.

The compared ereaders.co.nz pages do not publish a controlled page-turn-speed benchmark that measures colour models against monochrome models. No measured speed difference is added to this page from another source.

Ereaders.co.nz explicitly publishes microSD support for Tab Ultra C Pro, Note Air4 C, Note Air5 C, Palma 2, Palma 2 Pro via its hybrid SIM slot, Go Color 7, Go Color 7 (Gen II), Go 7, Go 6 and Page 7. A microSD value is not filled for models where the compared site page does not publish one.

The site explicitly lists InkSpire in the standard Tab X C box, Pen Plus with Note Max, Pen3 with Note Air5 C, Pen Plus with Note Air4 C, Pen Plus with Go 10.3, and InkSense Plus with Go 10.3 (Gen II). Palma 2 Pro and Go 7 explicitly state that their supported stylus is sold separately. Unclear bundles remain “—”.

The checked Palma 2 Pro and Go 10.3 (Gen II) pages confirm Android 15 but do not explicitly state Google Play, so that sub-field is shown as “—”.

Ereaders.co.nz describes Note Max as an A4-sized 13.3-inch device for full-size PDFs, engineering drawings and large documents. The Tab X C page also describes its 13.3-inch workspace as A4-sized and lists PDF annotation and document review among its uses.

Among the verified weights published on the compared ereaders.co.nz pages, Go 6 is listed at approximately 146g. Palma 2 is listed at approximately 170g and Palma 2 Pro at approximately 175g.

No. Ereaders.co.nz explicitly publishes “No Front Light” for Note Max, Go 10.3 and the standard Go 10.3 (Gen II). Other compared models publish warm/cold, dual-tone or adjustable front-light information as shown in the master table.
