Boox Palma 2 adds faster chipset, Android 13 and a fingerprint scanner

The original Boox Palma gained traction as a compact e-reader that also doubled as a smartphone and the new Palma 2 is here to fix some of its shortcomings. While it may look identical to its predecessor, Palma 2 features an upgraded eight-core CPU which should help it perform faster in day-to-day tasks.

The new model also boots Android 13 which may not be the latest version but it’s still a nice update coming from the Android 11 interface on Palma 1. The other new addition is the fingerprint scanner which is embedded in the power button.

The rest of the hardware is carried over…
