ONYX BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen II) is a compact 7” color E Reader based on a high-performance hardware platform. The model has an E Ink Kaleido 3 touch screen with front light and color temperature adjustment and dual touch control: capacitive and inductive. The model is based on a powerful 8-core processor and 4 GB of RAM. ONYX BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen II) runs on the Android 13 operating system and allows you to install and use third-party applications. The built-in dual-band Wi-Fi module allows you to access the Internet and use various network services, and Bluetooth 5.1 support allows you to connect external devices. Its 64GB of internal storage together with a microSD card slot allow you to store a large number of books and documents directly in the device. The device has a pre-installed audio player which allows you to listen to music or audio books. It also has the TTS (Text-To-Speech) function which can be used to vocalize text files. The device is made in a thin compact body with page turning buttons on the right side. The screen is covered with protective ONYX Glass. The model supports a stylus for taking handwritten notes and drawings (sold separately). Thanks to its larger screen and note-taking ability, this E-Reader is ideal for those who plan to combine reading books and working with documents using a stylus.
The E Ink Kaleido 3 screens display 4096 colors in color mode and 16 shades of gray in black and white mode. The display structure optimization allowed us to increase the color saturation by 30% compared to the previous generation. The E Ink Kaleido 3 uses E Ink Print Color ePaper technology, in which color filter array (CFA) complements the base of the E Ink Carta 1200, displaying full-color images.
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 Flicker-Free technology, shimmering of the screen is completely eliminated.
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 going to bed.
The screen of the ONYX BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen II) 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.
ONYX BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen II) 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 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.
Go Color 7 (Gen II) is based on the Android 13 operating system and allows you to install and use various third-party apps. The model has a Google Play app store, which has a huge variety of programs in its catalog.
