Onyx is an Asian company that produces and sells consumer electronic devices, including eReaders. Unlike many other companies, Onyx has a wide range of eReaders with different prices and sizes to reach a larger audience. In the summer we could see how Onyx expanded the family of its Boox eReaders and now takes the latest model that it released as the basis for two very interesting devices called Box C65.
Box C65 already existed in the Onyx family but now they have updated it and have also released another more updated version. For this process they have taken the model Box i63ML which was recently released later this summer
Boox C65 Features
The current model of Box C65 differs a lot from its previous version although not so much of the i63ML model. Like the latter, the new model Boox C65 has 1 Ghz as a processor, with 512 Mb of Ram and runs android 2.3 which will allow you to use android applications in this eReader. So far there is nothing new, the Boox I63ML brings the same. The great change of elements takes place on the screen that although it is still 6 ″ with a resolution of 1024 x 758, the Box C65 has a better refresh rate and a density of PPI 212, a density of points per pixel more than interesting, to get an idea, it is the same rate as the last Kindle Paperwhite although it does not have the same screen technology. The display technology used by Boox C65 is the Pearl of E-Ink, touch screen and with front light in the «versionML«. Regarding connectivity options, the Box C65 has the same as the rest of Onyx, Wifi, Audio, MicroUSB and MicroSd eReaders. Along with the refreshment rate that we mentioned before, Box C65 has a greater autonomy provided thanks to a 1800 mAh battery. A larger battery than the other models discussed, the Boox i63L To refresh the memory, it has a 1600 mAh battery. The increase is not significant but it is substantial, which will increase the duration of our readings.
Currently the Box C65 It is available on the main Onyx website, although it is not yet available for purchase or its price is known. Although taking into account the previous models, possibly the final price of the Boox C65 is around 150 euros as a price. Price that although it is reasonable, it seems extremely expensive for an eReader with these characteristics.
The sale of guerrillas, the business model of Onyx
Onyx is one of the eReader manufacturers or the main eReader manufacturer that is based on the commercialization of a multitude of devices for relatively low prices to reach a larger audience and have a higher sales index, but still, in the western part of the globe, Onyx does not finish curdling. The Box C65 It is the fourth or fifth eReader that this Chinese manufacturer offers for sale and the news of the company ends there, since only the news of launches appears, It does not have an ebookstore, nor does it have a development of physical stores or a good marketing program. A simple company based on attrition or long-distance running, whatever you want to call it. Although those yes, who wants to debut in the world of the eReader, the Onyx models can represent a good option for their relatively low prices.
