The Boox Palma 2: A Phone-Sized Android ePaper Reader Built For Real Life
Whether you're commuting, queuing, or unwinding before bed, the Onyx Boox Palma 2 Black or White 128GB slips into a pocket like a phone but reads like paper. Built for anyone searching for a "phone-sized ebook reader", a "lightweight ereader for eye strain", or an "Android ereader with Google Play access", it pairs a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 screen at 300 ppi with 128GB of onboard storage. For daily commuters wanting a "pocket ereader for reading on the go", the 170g body and dual-tone front light keep glare-free reading comfortable indoors or out.
Screen Comfort That Doesn't Fight Your Eyes
Q: Does this reduce eye strain compared to a phone or tablet?
A: Yes. The Palma 2 uses a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display instead of a backlit LCD screen, so there's no flicker or blue-light glare straining your eyes. BOOX Super Refresh Technology with four refresh modes keeps pages sharp without ghosting, while the dual-tone adjustable front light and built-in light sensor automatically balance warmth and brightness. Many users switch from scrolling on their phone specifically to give their eyes a rest.
Room For Your Entire Library
Q: How many books or documents can this device actually hold?
A: The Palma 2 ships with 128GB of internal storage, plenty for tens of thousands of ebooks, comics, or PDF documents on a single device. It also pairs 6GB of RAM with an octa-core processor, so your library stays organized and pages turn smoothly even with hundreds of titles loaded. Need more room later? The storage is expandable via microSD, so you're never forced to delete anything to make space.
One Login For Every Bookstore
Q: Does it support both Kindle and Kobo apps?
A: Yes — the Palma 2 runs full Android 13 with built-in Google Play Store access, so you can download the official Kindle and Kobo apps side by side and keep reading any books you've already purchased. It also supports Singapore's NLB app, letting you borrow ebooks and audiobooks from the National Library Board for free. You're never locked into a single bookstore ecosystem.

Key Facts
The Boox Palma 2 packs a 6.13" E Ink Carta 1200 display into a phone-sized 170g body, letting you read comfortably one-handed for hours. With 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable storage, it comfortably stores thousands of ebooks, comics, and PDFs without slowdown. Running full Android 13 with Google Play Store access, it unlocks the entire library of reading, productivity, and audiobook apps rather than a closed ecosystem. The dual-tone adjustable front light and BOOX Super Refresh Technology deliver eye-friendly reading indoors, outdoors, and after dark. A built-in fingerprint sensor and 16MP rear camera with LED flash round out a genuinely phone-like ePaper experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this an authorized Onyx Boox retailer in Singapore?
A: Yes — GeekBite is an authorized Onyx Boox retailer in Singapore, sourcing every unit directly through official channels rather than grey-market resellers or overseas marketplaces. Each Palma 2 you receive is brand-new and factory-sealed, backed by our physical Singapore office and dedicated local after-sales support team. Buying from GeekBite means you skip the risk of counterfeit units, invalid warranties, or unresponsive overseas sellers entirely.
Q: What warranty comes with this device from GeekBite?
A: Every Onyx Boox Palma 2 sold by GeekBite comes with a comprehensive 12-month local Singapore warranty. If anything goes wrong with your device, you're covered by our dedicated Singapore after-sales support team rather than having to ship your device overseas or deal with a foreign call centre. This local coverage means faster repairs, faster replacements, and genuine peace of mind for your purchase.
Q: Can I return this if I change my mind?
A: Yes. GeekBite offers a frictionless 15-day free return window for any completely sealed, unused, and unopened device set, so you can shop with complete confidence. If your Palma 2 arrives and simply isn't the right fit, reach out within 15 days of delivery and our team will guide you through the return process. Just make sure the original packaging and seal remain untouched.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: The Palma 2 is powered by a 3,950mAh Li-ion Polymer battery, which is generous for a phone-sized ePaper device and comfortably supports days of regular reading between charges. Because E Ink only draws power when the page actually changes, battery life stretches far longer than a typical phone or tablet screen. Charging is handled through the included USB-C cable for fast, convenient top-ups.
Q: Is this device water resistant?
A: The Palma 2 is water-repellent, which offers some protection against light splashes or rain, but it is not rated as fully waterproof. GeekBite recommends keeping the device away from submersion, pools, or the bath to avoid liquid damage. If you specifically need IPX8 waterproof protection, ask our team about other options in the Boox and Kobo ranges better suited to wet environments.
Q: Does it support a stylus, and is one included?
A: The Palma 2 is designed purely as a reading and app device, so it does not support a stylus and none is included in the box. If handwritten note-taking or PDF annotation with a pen is a priority for you, the Boox Palma 2 Pro, Go 7, or Go Color 7 in our range support InkSense stylus input instead. The Palma 2 focuses on fast, distraction-free reading.
Q: Does it support Bluetooth for headphones or audiobooks?
A: Yes, the Palma 2 includes Bluetooth 5.1, so you can pair wireless headphones or earbuds directly to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or text-to-speech readouts. Combined with full Google Play Store access, you can install apps like Audible or Spotify alongside your ebook library. This makes the Palma 2 a genuine two-in-one device for both reading and listening on the go.
Q: Is it suitable for children or reading before bed?
A: The Palma 2's E Ink display doesn't emit the same harsh blue light as a phone or tablet screen, making it a gentler option for reading before bed. The dual-tone adjustable front light and light sensor let you dial brightness and warmth down for low-light evening use. Many millennial parents choose Boox devices specifically to help older children wind down without extra phone screen time.
Q: Does it work overseas, or is it Wi-Fi only?
A: The Palma 2 connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only — it does not have a cellular SIM slot, so it relies on a Wi-Fi network or personal hotspot to download books and sync apps overseas. This makes it ideal for travellers who pre-download their library before a trip and read offline. If cellular data on the go is essential, ask about the Boox Palma 2 Pro instead.
Q: Can I read and annotate PDFs on this device?
A: You can open and read PDFs comfortably on the Palma 2's 6.13-inch, 300 ppi E Ink screen, and Android apps let you highlight or type text-based notes. However, since the Palma 2 doesn't support a stylus, handwritten markup directly on the page isn't possible. For freehand PDF annotation, GeekBite recommends the Boox Palma 2 Pro or Go 7, both stylus-compatible for that workflow.
