Kindle Paperwhite 6 Comparability Video – twelfth Gen vs eleventh Gen


Kindle Paperwhite Comparison 2024

After UPS delivered the new twelfth gen Kindle Paperwhite final week, the very first thing I needed to do was evaluate it to the eleventh gen Kindle Paperwhite 5 from 2021 to see if Amazon’s claims of improved distinction and the brand new Paperwhite being the quickest Kindle ever have been true.

After getting the moderately annoying setup course of over with, I might instantly affirm the higher distinction declare was legit after seeing some darkish covers load on the house display; I didn’t even have to straight evaluate each Paperwhites side-by-side. The black pictures have a darker, inkier black high quality to them than what I’m used to seeing on the Paperwhite 5.

After I did evaluate each models subsequent to one another, three issues jumped out. One, the brand new Paperwhite is sort of precisely the identical because the outdated Paperwhite by way of the general design and the way it feels in your hand; two, the distinction positively is healthier on the brand new mannequin; and three, the frontlights are very totally different, particularly on the cooler finish of the colour spectrum.

The frontlight mixed with the darker ink makes the display look subtly nicer on the brand new Paperwhite. It’s not an enormous distinction by any means (it by no means is with E Ink), however it’s noticeable, particularly when utilizing Darkish Mode, and the textual content appears to chop via higher in decrease lighting when utilizing common mode.

Amazon claims the brand new Paperwhite has 25% sooner web page turns, and at first that gave the impression to be true, however then I up to date my eleventh gen Paperwhite to the newest 5.17.1 software program replace that was simply launched, and the web page flip velocity magically elevated to match the twelfth gen mannequin. Most actions are slightly bit sooner on the brand new Paperwhite, however web page flip velocity is principally the identical now after the software program replace.

The brand new Paperwhite has a barely bigger 7″ display in comparison with the 6.8″ display on the Paperwhite 5, however virtually talking the distinction is negligible. The Paperwhite 6 is only a few millimeters taller and wider; the distinction isn’t actually noticeable till you attempt cramming the PW6 into a canopy for the PW5 and it gained’t match.

Except for the issues talked about above, each gadgets are principally the identical in any other case. There weren’t many adjustments going from the Paperwhite 5 to the Paperwhite 6, not almost as many as going from the 4 to the 5, however the display improve is good, so is the slight velocity enhance, and at the least nothing received worse (that really occurs typically). Amazon did improve the value by $10 to $159 for the bottom Kindle Paperwhite mannequin and $199 for the Signature Version in order that’s not nice, however that’s the way it goes.
