Wow, I was thinking of getting the white, but now I think I will choose black instead. Thank you for showing the difference!
I just received my white Palma today and I almost commented that mine doesn't do any of that. But, you're right, it does. I never saw the top line because I immediately set the refresh to HD. I also didn't see any bright outline while I was setting it up or reading. I've had the Palma on practically all day, evening and night in multiple and changing lighting situations, and I only saw the outline when I turned the brightness setting to 100% in a moderately lit room. I think most people won't see the bright outline in typical use scenarios. But now that I've seen it, a little bit of my joy bubble just deflated. I'm still glad that I got the white one instead of the black. I love the gentle color transition from screen to case and the absence of a black bezel. It helps the device disappear into the written page.
White Palma was my first choice and I absolutely loved it - it is elegant and has indeed more natural "paper" look. Also there are not so many devices with white bezels nowadays, which makes it rather unique. Bright outline did not bother me much and at the beginning I considered this black line as a feature (though it was visible in most of my usage scenarios). Just out of curiosity I got the black Palma for comparison and honestly I did not expect any difference. I was also afraid that the black frame would make my eyes more tired during long reading sessions, but so far I don't feel any difference in this respect. As a summary - I tend to return white one, but they are both fantastic devices.
Are you still available to see the bright outline if you change the screen settings to dark?
Really wanted a white ereader so bought it despite this video. Just returned for a black one because I couldn’t take the light halo when reading in dark mode at night. The brightness is just too much for bedtime reading without dark mode for me.
White for aesthetics, black for function.
Very good comparison, I have the white and I can confirm all of your points
Thank you for making such a detailed video. I appreciate your explanations and suggestions.
Avoid the second sleeve case with white palma, I have it, and the internal black part left black spot that cannot be removed on the device itself
I think I know what’s going on. The screen on your white unit is slightly misaligned. The screen is position is slightly lower than the one on your black unit. After watching many videos of other white Palma’s I noticed those screens are not misaligned compared to your unit. This defect is probably present on a complete production run of white Palma’s.
I just ordered a white one one so I’ll post a follow up once I receive it. 4:05
It might be combination of factors. So far all the white units I saw had exactly same issue, plus better alignment of screen will not fix backlight bleeding (which is caused by more transparent bezel). In my opinion more transparent bezel contributes the most to the visibility of black line.
@@mmrlckt Yes I agree about the bezel bleed on the white. I’ll let you know if my unit has the line / alignment issue. Thanks for making us aware of this 🙏
@@Rez-N-8 hi, could you please tell me if indeed your boox palm has the same defects as described in the video. Thank you. i am interested in buying one and this video has made me rethink it. Thanks
@@CapitanInvisible I can just mention that black line on the white Palma is visible even in official Boox video ua-cam.com/video/M7ClcwxO9CI/v-deo.htmlsi=DZkglyaQozugcuUh&t=26 (just pause it on the 26th second)
Have you received it?
Thank you so much. I was waiting for the cover review!
Thanks for the video! Now it makes me happier with my black version (I returned the white one). I have to admit I love the white version as well since it makes it unique. The black is too ordinary, especially it looks very similar to the Hisense Hi reader. But for me, the screen is the most important. I never noticed the black line at the top for the white until now that you mentioned it. There's a black line on the black as well but it's very close to the bezel and one really needs to tilt it to see it. I did notice the backlit line around the edge of the white one. This doesn't happen on my black one. I think maybe light reflects on white surface more? Another thing I want to point out is there's a very thin gap between the white frame & the gray bezel (especially at the 4 corners). It's much noticeable on the white one apparently. Another thing is the black speaker hole & censor hole are clearly showed on the white while on the black, they're hidden. Those might be a distraction. Also I dont' like how light can bleed through the gray bezel.
Thanks, totally agree with your comments. Indeed considering all the differences I find black Palma more balances overall. Otherwise I would definitely choose white one, which is still very very good - those who got it will not be disappointed. Also using white protective case or folding-flip case makes black Palma almost entirely white, so it is nice option as well.)
You just saved me €300 thank you. This would have bugged me to no end.
did you buy the black?
@ismaels3471 I have bought neither so far. The white recently became available on uk amazon but not black. I don't want to buy from boox as people report their customer service has been really bad when seeking returns.
Уже не читалка, еще не смартфон :) спасибо за обзор! Убеждаюсь, что Кант-2 это то, что нужно и его достаточно
Onyx Boox Kant-2 is a good option indeed (in fact it is under-powered version of Palma), though I believe it is not sold in EU or USA.
You deserve more interactions. Subbed
Really appreciate this video. Thank you!
Excellent comparison. Thanks!
why does the better device have to be the worse looking one tho :'(
Thanks for this
