Boox – the brand behind the smartphone-sized Android e-readers is gearing up to launch a new entry with the P6 Pro. It’s still as compact as a phone like previous entries, but it will be available with an optional color e-ink display and a SIM slot for 4G and 5G data connectivity.

One of the big missing features on the Boox Palma 2 was the lack of cellular connectivity so the P6 Pro is bringing a welcome addition. Boox confirmed it will feature a hybrid SIM/microSD card slot and support for VoIP calls, though no word if it will also be capable of cellular calls and text messaging.
The P6 Pro is set to launch tomorrow, October 9, at 7PM local time, but the company has already posted multiple teasers on its Weibo profile.

The device looks similar to Palma 2 and features a single rear camera. It will be available in black and white colors. It also features stylus support and 128GB built-in storage. It remains to be seen which Android version will come on the P6 Pro, as last year’s Palma 2 launched with Android 13. We’ll have more info tomorrow once the device is fully unveiled.
