Third-party reviews

What customers like about BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II

  • 300 ppi makes text sharp on a 7-inch screen.
  • The anti-reflection coating cuts glare when you read outdoors.
  • Split-screen mode lets you read and take notes together.
  • 64 GB of storage holds a large library of books and files.
  • Tempered glass protects the screen from knocks.
  • GPS and Wi-Fi 5 are built in.

What customers don't like about BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II

  • The 2300 mAh battery is small, so charge it regularly.
  • One speaker makes audio thin for films.
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack.
  • It has no water or dust rating.
  • There is no LTE or 5G, so it depends on Wi-Fi.

Verdict

Reading comes first on the BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II, with a 7-inch E-Ink screen that is sharp at 300 ppi. The anti-reflection coating keeps glare down in bright light, which helps when reading outdoors. The screen refreshes at 60 Hz, so it is not made for fast video or games. Colors are limited to sRGB, and the 4 GB of memory with 64 GB of storage handles reading apps and notes. Split-screen mode lets you read and take notes side by side, and GPS and Wi-Fi 5 are included. The battery is 2300 mAh, a small cell, and the single speaker makes audio thin. It has no water or dust rating, so keep it dry. It suits a reader who wants books, articles and notes rather than video.
