  • Boox says it will unveil the P6 Pro in China on October 9 at 7 p.m. local time following a series of Weibo teasers.
  • The device includes a hybrid SIM/microSD tray for cellular data, with outlets reporting 4G/5G support and Boox indicating VoIP calling, while voice calls and SMS remain unconfirmed.
  • Two models are planned: a color E Ink version likely using Kaleido 3 and a black‑and‑white option, with monochrome at around 300 ppi and color at roughly 150 ppi plus adjustable front lighting.
