Here’s a comparison of the HiBreak Pro and the Boox Palma 2. Both are Android-based devices on which you can install apps, and both use an e ink screen in a compact, pocket-friendly format.
To help you make your choice, I’ve made a video that shows the screens side by side:
In the video, you can clearly see that the HiBreak Pro has a screen that responds much faster than the Boox Palma 2. It also delivers sharper text rendering (in the web browser) as well as better speed and accuracy (when playing a YouTube video).
This is due to several factors:
- The HiBreak Pro is significantly more expensive
- The HiBreak Pro is more recent
- The HiBreak Pro is technically more powerful
Another key difference is that the HiBreak Pro is a full smartphone, capable of replacing both your eReader and your Android phone. Its ePaper display is also an advantage, as it is gentler on the eyes.
On the other hand, the Boox Palma 2 has its own benefit: if your main use for such a device is reading, it’s a more affordable option that still works very well for web browsing and eBook reading.
So the Boox Palma 2 remains a solid choice for that kind of use.
