No, don't believe it. Boox never updates the Android version on its devices. In March there will surely be a renewal and the new Tab X2 C will include Android 15. Edit: I don't know why they downvoted me. Everything I said is true.

Feature 1: I use the Notes app on my Boox Tab XC for a mix of handwritten notes and pasted text. When I'm in any pen mode, the two-finger pan gesture works perfectly can move around the canvas freely. But the moment a text box is active (e.g. after I paste something), the two-finger parn completely

I'm an academic. Get something that's large enough to display full page PDFs at a comfortable size. You don't really want to be messing around panning and zooming on eink, given refresh rates. That means one of Boox Note Max (13 inch), Boox Tab XC (13"), or Remarkable Paper Pro (11.8"). Boox devices

I'm fed up with the niche suppliers screwing over consumers by not offering upgrades to known issues. Boox and Bigme should not be rewarded with increased sales with their appalling support Personally I really would be in the market for the Tab XC. I love it. I love the Note Max. But the lack of sup

Since you use it with and article on one sude and notes on the other (split screen) do you feel like its too small of a device to do this comfortably? This is my main issue preventing me from buying the Note air5C over the Boox tabXC (I havent purchased either yet). But, the Boox Tab XC is running a

Boox people you need to fix the highlighting in the neoreader app for tab XC. Currently it looks as if i had passed a crayon over the text making it hard to read. The highlighting should go behind (or around ) the black letters not over it, it looks terrible. Also you should have the option of highl

I use a Boox Note Air 4C for this. The 10” screen is a bit tight for split screen. The Tab XC is their color 13” model which reportedly is not as good in terms of handwriting feel but is otherwise a similar device.

The only thing I regret is that the Tab XC doesn't have a SD card slot especially for a flagship device from Boox. The NA4C has one and the Tab XC looks like a continuation for that form factory.

BSR sucks! My old Boox devices without BSR last many weeks on one charge even with heavy use. My Tab X C with BSR lasts only a little longer than my phone on a single charge. It is ridiculous. I never had major ghosting issues, even with the first gen color devices. BSR is not worth the dramatic red

Thank you. Yes, I understand that frustration with consumable and accessories. These makes buying a boox product difficult as I prefer reliable and sustainable solutions. For me the Boox Go color 7 gen II and the Tab X C should have EMR pens for example. I am put off considering these products for e
