Onyx Boox has unveiled the Poke 7 series of e-readers a day ahead of its scheduled May 21 launch. The new lineup includes two distinct models, the standard Poke 7 and the Poke 7 Pro. Both devices share an identical physical design but offer different internal specifications to suit varying user needs.

Onyx Boox unveils new e-reader models a day early before May 21 launch date.

Both ereaders feature a 6-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 300 ppi. The front light system has been improved, and the screen sits flush under tempered glass. An unnamed Qualcomm octa-core processor powers both devices. The standard Poke 7 comes equipped with 2GB of RAM, while the Poke 7 Pro upgrades to 3GB of RAM.

Both models include 32GB of internal storage that users can expand by up to 2TB using a microSD card slot. They run Android 11 out of the box and utilize a 1,500mAh battery. The devices measure 6.7mm in thickness and weigh 165g. Onyx Boox offers the standard Poke 7 in Blue, White, and Sand colors for ¥1199 (~$176/€152). The Poke 7 Pro is available only in White and costs ¥1399 (~$205/€177). Both purchases include a free case and stand.

The Poke 7 Pro e-reader includes 3GB of RAM and costs ¥1399, while the standard model has 2GB RAM.

Some online product listings currently display placeholder prices instead of the official amounts. This discrepancy suggests that final pricing details may change before the devices become widely available to consumers.
