## Three new Boox devices drop
Boox announced the Palma 3, Note Air6 C, and Note Mini C. All three use E Ink screens that mimic ink on paper.
## Note Air6 C brings color
The $580 Note Air6 C has a 10.3-inch color display and runs Android 16. It includes AI features like meeting insights and document summaries.
## Dual Notes for side-by-side work
New firmware lets you annotate two documents side by side. The Air6 C is the only device available to buy right now.
## Note Mini C goes portable
The $580 Note Mini C has an 8.52-inch screen, same specs as the Air6 C. It's designed for one-handed use and on-the-go work.
## Palma 3 gets aluminum body
The $340 smartphone-sized Palma 3 has a 6.13-inch screen and runs Android 16. It ditches the plastic build for aluminum.

> Boox promotes this as a low-stimulation second screen, and we've liked it as an e-reader option before.
## Smart features for reading
The Palma 3 includes a rear camera for document scanning, dual microphones, and a customizable smart button. Release date is coming soon.
## Key takeaway

Boox launched three new E Ink devices: the Palma 3 smartphone-sized e-reader with aluminum build, and two color-screen Note tablets running Android 16.
