They use different processors from one another.

The Nova Air C uses the Snapdragon 662 processor (11 nm process). The Nova 3 Color uses the Snapdragon 636 (14 nm process). The 662 will yield ~ 15% better performance in general and uses less power. That is probably one of the reasons for the smaller battery.

I'm not too fussy about battery life or storage. I'm more worried about my eyesight, so this is perfect for me.

Very tempting. My 3 year old Nova Pro is still going strong, but the new Color display has really been refined now, especially now that it has an Amber backlight again. The main hiccup for me is the 32GB storage. 32GB already feels tight on my Nova Pro once you get into manga/comics, and a color screen which encourages more comic/picture viewing would just worsen that situation. I really wish they could've at least gone for 64GB at least, or added a MicroSD slot.

I think Onyx Boox should improve all their practices about the batteries. They should be removable. They could even use the same battery in all the devices, maybe put 2 of the same batteries in bigger devices ... but we need to have the possibility to fix and change the battery of our devices. In some years we will have batteries issues and this will be a disposable device. (I have an onyx note air 1)
ps: Also, they should include the erase on every stylus.

Looks awesome! Glad to see this side by side comparison 😁. I don't think I can quite justify this upgrade from Nova 3 Color to Nova Air C, but I'm looking forward to what Kaleido 3 combined with On-Cell Touch will create later this year 😁.

I hope Boox considers making an eReader without note-taking capabilities that uses colour, like the Poke 2 had. Maybe a Boox Leaf C that incorporates Kaleido 3 and oncell touch to create a super crisp looking screen 🤩😁

Thanks for the comparison. Small upgrade but an upgrade nonetheless.
A physical button could have been implemented into the BOOX logo, like in the middle of an O or something, without increasing the dimensions of the unit.

Thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for a comparison video. <3

The display really does look better.

But a smaller battery, still no microSD card slot, and no physical buttons* are not great, especially for the price.

*The Air case is great all, but not what I mean.

The yellow glow light is the key difference for me i wish i had, the nova 3 color i have its still amazing don't get me wrong

[latisafatmah]

I would really like to buy nova air c if only the battery is as bigger as nova3 color.
How long the battery last for nova air c for web surfing with A2 speed?

How's the palm rejection on each of them when using Onenote for note taking?

[Maxyidian]

In China, the electronic paper arrived the day before yesterday, and the battery life can be used for about six hours with the WiFi backlight turned on at the same time

I am not going to buy anymore colour Eink readers until they bump up the resolution for colour eink to 212 PPI at least.

[baukepoelsma]

When will they be doing color 10 inch or above?😱

[WatDoino]

I don’t know why they put the page turning buttons on the left side it’s a bit awkward for right handed people. They could’ve put the magnet on both sides of the tablet so you can choose which side you want to stick your tablet on.

[mickeymo]

The Nova Air C looks soooo much better! The warm light is definitely a huge change and i love the design on the Nova Air C

[YeeticleesRC]

Just pulled my Nova 3 color out my backpack and the color screen finally gave out.... Now I'm debating on upgrading or waiting for the next one...

[andyjiang]

I'm very disappointed by the performance of on-cell without the glowlight. There looks to be no difference between the Nova 3 Color's screen and the Nova Air C. Where are the benefits that are supposed to come from integrating the touch layer with the panel?

[dylangreen]

Does anyone know the difference between the Nova Air C and the Nova Air 2? Besides the obvious lack of color on the Nova Air 2, are there any other differences?

[baukepoelsma]

The Nova Air C at 10 inches + would be an immediate buy for me!
