Onyx not too long ago launched the Boox Go 10.3, and it’s their first 10″ mannequin to have a 300ppi E Ink display screen (they’ve been promoting 10″ fashions with 300ppi that use colour E Ink, however that is their first black and white mannequin with 300ppi).
For a very long time the Kindle Scribe has been the one black and white 10″ eNote to supply 300ppi, whereas most others are caught at 227ppi, so I needed to check the display screen on the Boox Go 10 with the Kindle Scribe, and I used to be shocked to find that the display screen appears to be like noticeably higher on Onyx’s mannequin.
The textual content is basically clear and pops off the display screen, and the background colour is lighter the than background on the Scribe.
The one draw back with the Boox Go 10 is the truth that it doesn’t have a frontlight, however I feel that helps makes the display screen look higher with out the added frontlight layer.
The Boox Go 10 does have a entrance layer over the display screen, however it appears to be thinner than typical entrance layers as a result of the textual content appears nearer to the floor than different eNotes. I don’t know what Onyx did precisely, however the display screen appears to be like implausible on the Boox Go 10.
Within the video under, I additionally present it in comparison with the Boox Go 7 with a colour E Ink display screen to indicate how the display screen compares to Kaleido 3 screens since Onyx additionally provides 300ppi 10″ colour fashions, and the distinction is critical.
The Kindle Voyage has lengthy been thought to be having the perfect E Ink display screen by way of readability and distinction, so I needed to check the Go 10 to it as nicely, and I nonetheless really feel just like the Kindle Voyage has a slight edge, however it’s very, very shut. The Go 10 does have some added texture to assist make writing with the stylus really feel extra pure, in order that most likely dings the display screen only a contact.
So far as 10″ eNotes go, I can confidently say the Boox Go 10.3 has the perfect total display screen by way of distinction and readability, however the truth that it doesn’t have a frontlight does restrict its usefulness in decrease lighting circumstances.
