29.09.25. Onyx Boox unveiled AI-powered e-notebook Note X5 Mini

Onyx Boox has unveiled the Note X5 Mini with a 7.8-inch e-Ink display. The device includes DeepSeek artificial intelligence integration for text summarization and voice-to-text conversion. This is a black-and-white model so it offers excellent resolution. An active capacitive InkSense stylus is used for writing. The device has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi. It's also equipped with four microphones and two speakers, making it suitable not only for listening to audiobooks but also for talking to DeepSeek's voice chat. The smartphone has a USB-C port for charging and a 2300 mAh battery.
2025. Onyx released Boox Note X5 e-notebook

Onyx BOOX has released the X5 e-notebook with 10.3-inch b/w screen. It runs on Google Android 13, but it lacks Google Play (because for now is only available in China and has not been released internationally). Compared to the previous Note X3 it has more quality 300DPI touchscreen and an AI smart button that quickly activates the artificial intelligence auxiliary function through a physical button. There is also a single speaker, equipped with a microphone, to utilize some of the text-to-speech features. A USB-C port is used for transferring data from your computer to the X5, but it is also used for charging. It is powered by a 3700mAh battery, which should provide sufficient power for a couple of weeks. The price is $432.50.
2025. Onyx Boox ereaders are now powered by Chinese-propaganda AI assistant

Azure GPT-3 on Onyx Boox devices was silently replaced by a Chinese large language model by Bytedance, the company behind TikTok. It's not a big surprise because Onyx International is also Chinese company. But this new AI assistant is propaganda-based. It refuses to mention anything remotely negative about China (or it's allies, like Russia, the Assad regime and North-Korea). But is happy to do so about any other country on earth. The LLM in question is Doubao, which is offered as an API under ByteDance’s cloud services division Volcano Engine. But the model is only meant to be used within China’s mainland. Boox launched the AI assistant feature last summer. It's available in the Naviball and Control Center, ready to answer any of your questions.
