Review on πŸ“± BOOX Note3: 10.3 ePaper with Android 10, Front Light, 4G 64G - Digital Paper E Ink Notepad by Richard Cuneo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great idea but horrible ghosting on screen

Combining Android with an e-ink/e-paper tablet is a fantastic idea. But I encountered many problems. ghosting. The biggest problem for me is the ghosting that remains on the screen when scrolling through pages, opening settings or writing/deleting notes. Even though I adjusted the setting to leave the least amount of ghosting, there was still a lot of leftover overlap when I opened and closed different apps and the like. Neobrowser: The built-in browser is meant to make websites easier to read on your tablet, but it actually has a 50/50 chance of making it easier or even harder to read. Build Quality: This thing seems to have to cost $10. I was afraid to even hold it because it felt like super cheap plastic. Origin: 100% Chinese product. The default language on the device is Chinese and the default time zone is Beijing. When you do a firmware update, it also calls a server in China. It has its own homemade app store with dubious/pirated apps that aren't really approved by the original developers. I will not sign in to my Google account on such a device.

Pros
  • Real handwriting feel: Mobius' flexible screen with flat AG glass lens gives you the feeling of writing with a pen on paper without glare.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
