BOOX Tab XC Tab XC 13.3 Color ePaper 6G 128G 2025

46.1 Art & Design Score
Why we recommend this

A 13.3-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink display with 300 ppi black-and-white and 150 ppi color, driven by a 2.8GHz octa-core processor with BSR, sets this ePaper tablet apart. Open Android 13 and the capacitive BOOX InkSpire stylus offer flexible note-taking, while a front light with warm and cold tuning suits varied lighting conditions. It’s best for artists and designers wanting a large color sketchpad rather than readers, given its weaker reading performance and lower color pixel density.
