Third-party reviews

What customers like about BOOX Go 7

  • A 7-inch screen fits in a coat pocket.
  • 300 ppi keeps small text sharp and easy to read.
  • Fast charging gets the battery back up quickly.
  • Split-screen mode lets you read two files at once.
  • The USB-C port runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speed for quick file copies.
  • GPS is built in for maps when you are out.

What customers don't like about BOOX Go 7

  • The 2300 mAh battery is small, so long days need a charger nearby.
  • One speaker gives basic sound.
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired earphones need an adapter.
  • No 5G or LTE means it depends on Wi-Fi.

Verdict

Reading on the move is the job of the BOOX Go 7, a 7-inch E-Ink tablet that fits in a coat pocket. The 300 ppi sharpness makes text look close to printed paper. Inside, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are enough for books, notes and documents. Split-screen mode lets you check two files at once, and fast charging brings the battery back up quickly. The trade-offs are the 2300 mAh battery, which is small, and the single speaker, so audio is basic. The screen is also small for long documents, which means more page turns. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired earphones need an adapter. It suits a commuter or a reader who wants a pocket-size device for books and notes, not for video or games.
