Boox has announced another E Ink device will launch this May. The new product will arrive as the Note X6, and it will have a monochrome display and stylus support

Following the launch of the Poke 7 series, Boox has revealed it has another device scheduled for release later this month. Unlike the Poke 7 and Poke 7 Pro which are ereaders, this new device will launch under the Note series of Android-powered note-taking E Ink tablets.

The new device will launch as the Boox Note X6 on May 27, according to a post on Weibo. It will arrive as a successor to the Note X5 released in July 2025. The post also includes an image that shows the Note X6 will have a monochrome display and stylus support. There's no info on the technical specifications, but Boox says the Note X6 will have a powerful chip.

There's a chance the Boox Note X6 will be going up against devices such as the reMarkable Paper Pure and the Amazon Kindle Scribe without Front Light, although unlike its rivals, we expect it to have a front light since the previous generation has.

Last year's Boox Note X5 launched with a 10.3-inch Carta 1300 display with a 2480 x 1680 resolution, a Qualcomm processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage. The Note X5 also has stylus support, albeit an EMR pen; dual-band Wi-Fi, a speaker, a microphone, and a 3,700mAh battery capacity.

It is also worth mentioning that the Note X5 received a smaller version called the Note X5 Mini. It swaps the 10.3-inch display of its sibling for a 7.8-inch display and a smaller 2300mAh battery. However, it still has a Qualcomm processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of storage, and stylus support. At the moment, there are no reports of a Note X6 Mini.

The Boox Note X6 has a monochrome display and stylus support.

Whether the Boox Note X6 will get a global release remains to be seen. Just a few months ago, it released the Go 10.3 Gen II series, and while they are not under its note series, they have stylus support and offer note-taking features. The Go 10.3 Gen II series is available in two variants — a Lumi version (read our review) that has dual-tone front light, and a regular version that lacks front light. Both are available on Amazon for $449.99 and $419.99 respectively.
