# BOOX Palma 2 Pro

> The BOOX Palma 2 Pro is a phone-shaped, color E Ink Android device for readers who want Kindle, Kobo, Libby, news, podcasts, notes, and light web access in one pocket without carrying another bright OLED screen. Its Kaleido 3 panel, Google Play access, 5G data, GPS, expandable storage, and optional stylus make it unusually flexible, but the $379.99 starting price, muted 150ppi color, data-only SIM, and cramped writing area keep it firmly in specialist territory.

- **Created by:** BOOX (Onyx International)
- **Launched:** 2025
- **Platforms:** android
- **Pricing:** Paid. Official US list price starts at $379.99; US standard bundles were listed at $399.99 during research. The InkSense Plus stylus is sold separately, with official/review pricing around $45.99, and regional prices vary.

## Features

- **6.13-inch Kaleido 3 display** — Shows 4,096 muted colors at 150ppi and black-and-white text at 300ppi, with a dual-tone adjustable front light and ambient light sensor.
- **Android 15 with Google Play** — Runs third-party reading, news, podcast, cloud storage, messaging, and productivity apps rather than locking readers to one bookstore.
- **5G mobile data and A-GPS** — A hybrid tray supports mobile data through nano-SIM configurations and location services, but not conventional voice calls or SMS.
- **InkSense Plus stylus support** — Supports a separately sold rechargeable USI 2.0 pen with 4,096 pressure levels, tilt, palm rejection, and a side eraser button.
- **BOOX Super Refresh** — BSR and per-app EinkWise controls trade image clarity, ghosting, speed, and battery use for different activities.

- **Expandable storage** — Includes 128GB and supports microSD cards up to 2TB, though using microSD affects which hybrid SIM configurations are available.
- **16MP rear camera** — Designed mainly for document scanning, OCR, and QR codes rather than smartphone-style photography.
