E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by the "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has higher resolution and contrast. 300 dpi pixel density is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to 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 necessary.
Carta 1300 is a technical definition of the generation of electronic paper screens of the E Ink company. These displays provide more contrast and faster screen refreshing speed than older Carta 1000 screens.
MOON Light 2 technology allows you to use the device in the dark or in poor lighting conditions, without any harm to your sight. When using this function, a soft glow of the screen is being created which is optimal for reading in dark rooms. This front light system has a color temperature adjustment, and thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology, shimmering of the screen is completely absent.
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. The MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness and color temperature, selecting at your will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping.
The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of LEDs used in this front light system. In ONYX BOOX E Readers, they are powered by a direct current source. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue, and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by long use of the device.
The screen of the ONYX BOOX Go 7 is increased up to 7” and displays 30% more information than similar 6” devices. At the same time, the device is compact enough for comfortable use when travelling.
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 page turning buttons on the right side of the device also change their functions according to the orientation of the screen.
The Go 7 has two sensor layers. A multi-touch capacitive layer is located over the screen surface. You can turn pages of ebooks and zoom documents with intuitive finger movements. In addition, an inductive sensor layer is located under the E Ink panel. Thanks to it, you can make handwritten notes and drawings using a special stylus, recognizing 4096 degrees of pressure and allowing you to draw with extreme accuracy. This active stylus for the Go 7 can be purchased separately.
Protective ONYX Glass, applied onto the E Ink screen, protects it from scratches and other damage. The use of such glass made it possible to abandon additional screen borders, so the screen is flush with the body of the device. This makes working with this E Reader more comfortable and its look became more modern. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
ONYX Glass is a fundamentally new generation of protective glasses from ONYX. Aluminosilicate glass has increased transparency and ensures the absence of distortion of the original image. The glass is applied on top of the front light layer without an air gap during the manufacturing the display module. Instead of applying a matte layer, which can reduce contrast, 5% etching is used. It provides improved glare protection and does not hamper light passing.
The 8-core processor of 2 GHz clock rate together with 4 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with any, even the most complex documents, and 64 GB of non-volatile storage together with the slot for microSD cards allow you to store a large library of favorite books.
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth 5.1 module, you can connect external devices.
The device supports OTG, thanks to which you can connect additional peripherals that do not require drivers.
The BOOX software allows you to open a number of different text and image file formats. While reading, you can change the style and the size of the font, the position of the pages, add bookmarks and zoom documents at your wish.
The device has a pre-installed audio player which allows you to listen to music or audio books. To use it, just run a corresponding audio file with a finger touch. Also, you can connect earphones or external speakers either via Bluetooth or via the USB Type C connector. The device supports the TTS (Text-To-Speech) function which can be used to vocalize text files.
Along with a standard way of copying files into the device with the help of a USB-cable, you may use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a QR-code to transfer files. The cloud PUSH-service BooxDrop is also available.
ONYX BOOX Go 7 is based on the Android 13 operating system and allows you to install and use various third-party apps. There is the Google Play app store in the device as well, with the help of which you can download and update different applications.
Low power consumption by the E Ink screen and battery capacity of 2300 mAh provides long-lasting autonomous functioning.
