The most obvious upgrade for the Palma 3 is the hardware itself. It still features the same 6.13-inch, 300ppi E Ink Carta screen as its predecessor (which is now quite a few years old), but it\u2019s wrapped in a new anodized aluminum frame with a paperlike fiberglass backplate. The Palma 3 looks<\/em> like a significant upgrade to the Palma line, even if under the hood you\u2019ll find more of the same. The pocketable e-reader is powered by a Qualcomm Q-6690 octa-core processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage expandable with a microSD card. It also includes a 3950mAh rechargeable battery, a 16-megapixel camera on the back, and a fingerprint reader in the power button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The original Palma and the Palma 2 came with Android 11 and Android 13, respectively, but the new Palma 3 ships with Android 16, which is just one generation behind the latest version of the OS. That should help it feel like a more modern mobile device. And like the color screen Palma 2 Pro, the Palma 3 supports the Boox InkSense Plus active stylus so you can use the e-reader as a digital notepad with your preferred note-taking app. But it\u2019s not included. The stylus is an optional upgrade that will add another $46 to the cost of the Palma 3, pushing it closer to the price of premium e-notes like the Remarkable Paper Pure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
