The BOOX Tab Ultra C is a 10.3″ ePaper Tablet PC with a splash of colour

Posted by Jason Bouwmeester

eBook readers and ePaper tablets aren’t new concepts. Using E Ink screen technology, they offer a black and white screen that is not only easier on the eyes but also with much longer battery life. The BOOX Tab Ultra C 10.3″ ePaper Tablet PC is changing things up a bit by adding an extensive palette of 4,096 colours.

The Tab Ultra C is BOOX’s first to incorporate colour E Ink screen technology. In addition to offering up some colour on the screen, the new tablet includes Android 11, a powerful GPU, BOOX Refresh Technology, Qualcomm’s octa-core CPU and a 16MP rear camera. When used in standard black-and-white mode, users can expect a 300 PPI resolution. When used with the colour option, that does drop down to 150 PPI, which is still acceptable for the screen size.

This ePaper Tablet PC has four refresh modes optimized for reading, note-taking, and using apps on the ePaper screen. Other features include ample internal storage of 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM with an expandable microSD card slot. The high-resolution 16MP rear camera also serves as a built-in document scanner with OCR functionality. Additionally, it is compatible with third-party photo and scanning apps, providing versatile options for capturing and managing documents with ease.
