The Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color is employing Android 10, which is very modern by e-reader standards. It currently retails for for $419.99 from the Good e-Reader Store. It is kind of expensive though, mass production of a great piece of hardware with a color screen is not exactly affordable. The Neoreader ebook software has been rebuilt and the note taking app has tons of new features, since you can now freehand draw, take notes, or edit PDF files in full color. This is the first Onyx product is using Boox OS 3.1, which brings a ton of new functionality and improvements to the software experience. The only thing that is really new is the color filter array and the software. The Nova 3 Color is basically using the same internal components and design as the Nova 3, that came out in 2020. It is powered by a 3150 mAh battery and the dimensions are 196mm, 137mm, 7.7mm and weighs 265g. There is a microphone port on the bottom, which can be used for voice communication and also speech to text on the digital note taking app, it also has a new function that allows you to record your audio notes and can be played back whenever you want. There is Bluetooth 5.0, so you can listen to music and audiobooks via a pair of wireless earbuds or headphones. This model has two speakers that are positioned next to the USB port, this is similar to the way the iPhone does it. It has a USB-C port with OTG and also has Quick Charge 4.0, so you can power it up to full in under an hour. Underneath the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Octa core processor, 3GB of DDR4X RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The stylus Onyx is using, is different than the stock pen that shipped on the Nova 3, this one has a higher build quality and similar to the iReader pen. It also has palm rejection technology, so it won’t recognize your hand resting on the screen as touchscreen interactions. The accompanied stylus has 4,096 degrees of pressure sensitivity, the harder you press, the thicker the lines become. There are 8 colors to select from in the drawing app and Onyx has one of the best freehand drawing experiences out there, with tons of advanced options. One of the most exciting elements of the Nova 3 Color is the inclusion of a WACOM layer, so you can use it as a dedicated note taking device. At the very top is a power button and status indicator light, on the bottom is a USB-C port and microphone port. The back of the device is a one tone black, there is a single speaker. Surrounding the bezel is piano black and on the bottom is a very dark grey, this is where the home button is. The overall color scheme of the Nova 3 Color is black. This type of lighting system is ideal, because the light never shines into your eyes, like a backlit display on your smartphone, tablet or computer monitor. Onyx has decided just to employ the standard cold light display and the Nova 3 Color has 17 white LED lights that are positioned on the bottom of the bezel and project light upwards, evenly illuminating the screen. No company has managed to include warm lighting on a color e-reader or e-note. I find it is excellent that Onyx offers some new flexibility and control over how color can be controlled and tweaked to suit users individual needs. If you are reading a textbook with lots of charts, you might want to see them more pronounced, other tweaks would be necessary for full color content like magazines or comics. This was designed to accentuate different types of content. You can control the color contrast, color saturation and color brightness with slider bars. There are some new software enhancements that take advantage of the Kaleido Plus screen. This is due to the CFA being closer to the screen, so overall color blending has been dramatically improved. It can display over 4,096 different colors, with greater color accuracy and a 3x improved color gamut from the original Kaleido screen tech found on the Onyx Boox Poke 2 Color. The resolution of the black and white display is 1872×1404 with 300 PPI and the color screen has a resolution of 624×468 with 100 PPI. The screen is completely flush with the bezel and has a AG glass flat cover-lens. The Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color features 7.8 inch E Ink Carta HD and Kaleido Plus color filter array. This 7.8 inch device is running Android 10 and comes with Google Play, so it is now possible to read all of your favorite library books, ebooks, comics, manga, magazines, newspapers or webtoons. The Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color is the latest generation e-reader and e-note that utilizes the E INK Kaleido Plus color filter array.
