It is difficult to estimate battery life accurately with e-readers, but as a general picture, it lasts up to a week of continuous use (with the front light turned off or set low). The Leaf’s 2000mAh battery capacity seems small, but it is sufficient as it has no note-taking capability. Coupled with the 2GB RAM is 32GB storage that is enough to store an extensive library of e-books and PDFs.įrom experience, Onyx Boox optimises battery life with its Android e-readers, which also applies to Onyx Boox Leaf. I seldom felt a slow down when switching between applications. Hence the configured 2GB RAM is acceptable for the device. With no note-taking capability, no split-screen support and the absence of documents loaded in multiple tabs, there is no need for the RAM size of Boox’s larger e-readers. Thus, the device can load large PDF documents smoothly, browse news websites, and use third-party applications. Turning on the front light accentuates the shadowing along the edges.Ĭonfigured with the Snapdragon 636, performance is similar to Onyx Boox Note 3 and Note Air 1 (both devices have the same processor). One negative is the slight shadowing along the borders of the screen (see image below). While the screen hasn’t been upgraded to E Ink 1200, it is still one of the better ones I’ve seen on an Onyx Boox e-reader, with dark and crisp text. The screen uses E Ink’s Carta HD (300 PPI) technology. The Leaf’s build is mainly plastic and is relatively light, weighing only 173 grams. In terms of looks, there is a strong resemblance to reMarkable 2 with its white bezels and grey stripe along the left-hand edge. Consequently, there is an ergonomic purpose to the a-symmetric design - it provides a space to hold the device when rotated. Like Libra 2 and Oasis, Boox Leaf supports autorotation. Onyx Boox sells a magnetic case that attaches to the device via pogo connectors. Compared to these two e-readers, the Leaf is different due to the absence of physical buttons. It appears from the a-symmetrical design that Onyx Boox Leaf is targeting the same space occupied by Kindle Oasis and Kobo Libra 2. Nevertheless, besides note-taking, they support most of the features available on larger Onyx Boox e-readers. Both these devices have no note-taking capabilities. Onyx Boox sells two smaller-sized e-readers: Onyx Boox Poke 3 (six-inches screen size) and Onyx Boox Leaf (seven-inches screen size).
