Overview of the Boox Go 6 (Gen II)
The Boox Go 6 (Gen II) is an Android-based E Ink ereader that provides access to Google Play apps for reading. Priced at $200, this model was released earlier this summer.
New Features and Design
The latest Go 6 model introduces stylus support, compatible with Boox's InkSense Plus stylus, which is sold separately for $46. It also features a design refresh with a textured, suitcase-inspired back available in Shell, Custard, Plum, and Stone colors. The RAM has been increased to 3GB from the Gen I's 2GB.
Operating System and Storage
The Boox Go 6 (Gen II) operates on Android 11, an older version of the operating system that ceased receiving security updates approximately two years ago. Despite this, app compatibility is expected to remain for some time. The device includes 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card.
Portability and Limitations
With a 6-inch screen and a weight of approximately 160 grams, the Go 6 (Gen II) is designed for portability, fitting into small bags and pockets. However, it lacks an IP rating for water or dust resistance, which limits its use in certain environments like beaches or pools without additional protection.
