    Verdict

    The Onyx Boox Poke4 Lite is an entry-level 6-inch e-reader featuring an E Ink Carta display with 212 PPI resolution and a versatile Moon Light 2 system for adjustable color temperature. Powered by a 2.0GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, it runs on Android 11, providing 16GB of internal storage and access to the Google Play Store for third-party apps. Its primary pros include a highly portable, lightweight 150g chassis, broad format support for over 20 file types, and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless audio. However, it lacks a flush-glass screen and microSD expansion, features a lower pixel density compared to 300 PPI models, and may experience faster battery drain when using intensive Android applications.
