Last week (April 9), BOOX officially launched the Chinese version of its new 7-inch reader series - Leaf 5, which focuses on lightweight portability and high-performance reading experience, providing more choices for users who pursue immersive reading.
The Leaf 5 series uses a 7-inch E Ink Carta 1300 black and white electronic ink screen, which has been professionally adjusted with a resolution of 1680×1264 and 300PPI, providing a delicate and clear display effect. The system has a built-in "Moonlight Mode" (white text on a black background), allowing users to enjoy a comfortable reading experience in different lighting environments as needed, and is equipped with "Afterimage Self-Clearing 2.0 Technology" to effectively reduce the problem of afterimages after long-term reading.
In terms of hardware configuration, Leaf 5 is equipped with Qualcomm octa-core processor (Qualcomm 690), 4GB memory and 64GB storage space, and supports up to 2TB microSD card expansion to meet the storage needs of large amounts of books and documents. The body design has for the first time added a grip similar to the Kindle Oasis, using skin-friendly materials to enhance the user experience when holding with one hand. The thinnest part is only 4.0mm thick and weighs about 175 grams. In addition, it is equipped with physical page-turning buttons to improve operational convenience.
Leaf 5 has a built-in 2000mAh battery, supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connections, and is equipped with high-sensitivity dual microphones to enhance the practicality of voice input and recording functions. Currently, it is available in two colors: "Forest Green" and "Moonlight Frost", with a suggested retail price of RMB 1,599 and RMB 1,649 respectively. There is also a "Vitality Gold" version expected to be launched in mid-May, also priced at RMB 1,649. The official also launched a special magnetic protective cover, priced at 129 RMB.
Overall, the Onyx Leaf 5 provides users with a practical choice for daily reading with its lightweight body, improved operating experience and stable performance. Whether you are immersed in reading indoors or carrying it outside, its portability and diverse functions demonstrate the brand's insight into user needs. With the launch of multi-color versions, the Leaf 5 series has undoubtedly added more choices and watchability in the highly competitive Chinese e-reader market.
