Onyx has always employed Android 11 on all of their modern devices; this was quite a surprise when the company announced the Note Air 3C was running Android 12 with complete Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. This provides users with a modern OS (by e-reader standards), so apps will be compatible with this version for at least 5-6 years. So, there is a ton of additional value. Onyx supports all of Android’s languages, so this will be relevant for people worldwide.

This device has Boox Super Refresh technology, HD mode is best for reading books and PDF files. Balanced mode is better for typing and scrolling, with great image quality. Fast mode is best for applications. Super Fast mode is ideal for browsing the Google Play Store, video or streaming music/video.
