ONYX BOOX Leaf 2 is a compact lightweight E Reader with a screen enlarged up to 7”, two-factor front light and touch control. Despite its compact size, the E Reader has a high-efficient hardware platform and is based on Android 11. Its 32 GB of internal memory together with a slot for microSD cards allow you to store and keep in the device a considerable library of your favorite books. Thanks to the enlarged screen, the model allows you to display 30% more text than 6" devices. The model has dual-band Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth module. The device is designed in a thin compact body with side buttons for turning pages, and the screen is covered with a protective glass*.
E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has a higher definition and contrast. Pixel density of the screen is 300 dpi that is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to the high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
Regal is an operating mode of the screen, allowing to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen within partial refresh. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen is not needed.
The MOON Light 2 technology enables one to use the device in the dark or under poor lighting conditions. When this function is in use, soft luminescence of the screen comfortable for reading in dark rooms is being generated. It also has a color temperature control and, thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology, the front-light system is perfectly smooth.
The latest researches have shown that blue light prevents the production of melatonin (daily rhythms regulator), which is necessary for a person to sleep. Therefore, after reading on a glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness of cold and warm LED lights independently, choosing at will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping. The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates shimmering of the LEDs used in this screen frontlight system. This is due to the use of a DC power supply.The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort for sight and eye fatigue and decreases the chances of headache, caused by long use of the E Reader.
ONYX BOOX Leaf 2 is equipped with a screen enlarged up to 7” which displays 30% more text than 6” devices. At the same time, the device is compact enough for comfortable use outside the home.
A built-in G-sensor automatically selects the correct text orientation when the device is rotated. Thanks to this option, you can change the orientation of the E Reader and the image will be restructured automatically. The scrolling buttons on the case also change their functions according to the orientation of the screen.
The E Ink Carta Plus 7” screen has a lighter background and higher contrast than any screen in this class. It allows you to read in a bright sunlight and has a high screen refresh speed. The absence of flickering front light and the principle of image formation using “electronic ink” makes reading eye-friendly. This multi-touch screen provides easy control when reading: page turning with short taps, page moving, two-finger zoom, making notes in the text and usage of additional options.
Protective glass is placed over the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional frame edges, so the screen is located flush to the body of the device. It makes the work with the E reader more comfortable and its look more up-to-date. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
The 4-core Qualcomm processor with 2 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with the most complex documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory together with a microSD slot allow the user to store a considerable library of favorite books.
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth 5.0 module, you can connect external devices.
