![]() There’s even a warm-light built into the system, which is far better suited for those moments when there’s absolutely no light sources around you and a bright blue backlight might be too much to deal with. This is particularly handy for me as I’ve swapped over to using the Tab Ultra for any last-minute bits of work before retiring for the day, and found the experience to be a lot more forgiving on my eyes than a smartphone or traditional tablet. The lack of such a feature on the Remarkable 2 ultimately held it back from greatness, but on the Tab Ultra it’s a Godsend, so you can keep reading and working well into the night without the need for an external light source. What absolutely works in the Tab Ultra’s favour though is the presence of a backlight. Text is a little softer on the Kindle app for instance, so you’ll still find a better reading experience for the Amazon ecosystem on the company’s own-brand e-readers. ![]() I will say that when using the built-in apps like notebooks, and reading anything downloaded via the Onyx Boox store, it all looks very crisp and easy on the eyes but there is a noticeable softening when using some third-party apps. DisplayĮven though its feature set far outweighs that of the Remarkable 2, both devices share identical specs when it comes to their displays, with the same 10.3-inch screen and a 1872 x 1404 resolution. What you may notice however is that the branding on both the front and back is in landscape mode, which just goes to show how confident Onyx is in the Ultra’s PC-style features, much like how we’ve seen Apple switch to embrace the preference for landscape in its iPad range over the last few years. ![]() On the back of the device, there’s a small bit of flair with a texturised panel designed to offer some grip for the rest of your fingers when holding the device, which is always a welcome consideration. Much like the Remarkable, there’s only one physical button and it’s used for waking up the Tab Ultra or for putting it back into standby mode – all other inputs are made via the touchscreen. The included stylus can snap magnetically to the right-hand side of the device, and with the whole thing only being 6.7mm thick, it can easily slide in beside a laptop in your rucksack.

Compared to the lofty bezels found on the Remarkable 2, the Tab Ultra keeps things a lot slimmer with only a larger portion on the left-hand side for your thumb to rest against. Right off the bat, the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra feels super sleek in the hand. A texturised strip on the back to help with grip.Lightweight enough to be held one-handed.Given that the device runs full Android 11, I was intrigued to see if Onyx could actually deliver on the Tab Ultra’s high-end concept, and after spending several weeks with it, I can safely say that it’s an experience like no other. I recently reviewed the Remarkable 2 which is an excellent digital notebook that beautifully recreates the feeling of pen and paper, and now Onyx is looking to move the ceiling for what’s possible on an e-ink device.Īs its name suggests, the Tab Ultra is opting for a no-holds-barred e-ink experience, and it’s even marketed as a ‘Tablet PC’ on Onyx Boox’s website. While Amazon has led the charge on e-ink technology with its range of Kindle e-readers, we’re now starting to see other companies throw their hats into the ring by reinventing how e-ink could be used beyond the ebook experience. High-end e-ink devices are still a fairly new concept but the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra makes a compelling case for their existence.
