Onyx Boox is a popular brand of Google Android e-readers and e-notebooks. They have two markets for releasing new hardware: the domestic Chinese market and the international market. Each year, they are very busy refreshing most of their product line; sometimes it’s just a small spec bump and a new version of Android. They rely exclusively on hardware sales and do not monetize the software experience. What do they have planned for 2026?
Onyx Boox will likely release the Palma 3 e-reader, building upon their most successful model of all time. In 2025, they released the Palma 2 Pro with a Kaleido 3 color e-paper screen, but the Palma 3 will have a black-and-white screen and cost under $300. They will also update most of their GO series of tablets with a new version of Android, likely 15 or 16. Expect refreshes to the Tab XC, Note Air 6, and Note Air 6C.
Onyx has been teasing a smartphone for years and has been slowly testing new models. The Palma 2 Pro has a sim card tray for data connections only and cannot make calls. Bigme offers several black-and-white and color e-paper smartphones, and seems to be the only current brand selling them. Will Onyx BOOX release a new model to compete against them?
