Once you do, you can safely ignore Onyx's app store, which mostly just lifts a handful of APKs from the APKPure library.
#Onyx 2 review install#
Google Play isn't preinstalled because E Ink tablets can't pass Play certification (due to video frame rate requirements), but the Play Store is easy to install if you follow Onyx's instructions.
#Onyx 2 review android#
Onyx tablets run a highly customized version of Android (version 11 in this case). It connects to the internet via dual-band Wi-Fi. The processor is middling, but any delays are hidden by the slow refresh rate of E Ink. The Max Lumi 2 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor with a massive 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (106GB is available to users). The stylus is ridged to improve grip and has one flat side, but lacks any buttons or an eraser. Unlike with the Note Air 2, it doesn't attach to the tablet. Like the Note Air 2, the Max Lumi 2 includes Onyx's $45.99 active stylus. In any case, Onyx is probably trying to drive E Ink monitor users toward its dedicated monitor, the Mira. The third-party Spacedesk app offers a workaround, but in my experience, third-party monitor apps tend to introduce a lot of latency when used with Onyx tablets. The Max Lumi 2 takes one step back from the original, in that it lacks an HDMI port and you can't use it as a secondary monitor. Comics look big and bold, albeit in grayscale

As with the Note Air 2, the Max Lumi 2 lets you independently adjust its blue and yellow front lights to taste. The screen isn't as sharp as those on smaller ebook readers, but its huge size more than makes up for that loss in density: You get more words, more lines, and more note-taking space than on a 10.3-inch device. That's E Ink's newest technology, with faster page turns than on older devices. The Max Lumi 2 uses a 2,200-by-1,650, 207ppi (pixels per inch) E Ink Carta 1250 display.
#Onyx 2 review Bluetooth#
It also supports Bluetooth 5.0, which means you can connect a pair of wireless headphones or earbuds. The tablet doesn't feature a headphone jack, but it does have built-in speakers and a microphone. By contrast, the 14-ounce Note Air 2 sports a metal frame for what feels like a more durable build.Ī physical home and back button sits below the bezel, while the bottom houses a single USB-C port. Onyx uses a lightweight black plastic material to make the tablet easier to hold in one hand, but it's still too big to balance effectively in that position. Despite a large frame that measures 12.2 by 9.0 inches (HW), the tablet is very slim at 0.3 inch and weighs only 20 ounces. The Max Lumi 2 looks and feels almost exactly like the previous Max Lumi. If you don't need as much screen real estate, the 10.3-inch Onyx Note Air 2 offers greater value at $499.99, earning our Editors' Choice award for large-format ebook readers. That said, it costs quite a lot at $879.99. Additionally, if the way that LCDs flicker and refresh bothers you, the Max Lumi 2 might be more enjoyable to use because of its grayscale, E Ink panel.

If you frequently work with or consume large-format documents, a smaller device simply won’t work as well. It lets you read, annotate, download, and upload documents using your favorite applications on an expansive 13.3-inch screen. The Onyx Boox Max Lumi 2, an oversized tablet that runs a custom version of Android 11, sets the bar high for large-format E Ink computing devices.
