Palma 2 packs a 6.13 inch 300 ppi Carta screen into a phone shaped body of about 170 grams, running Android 13 with 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and a microSD slot. There is a fingerprint sensor in the power button, dual tone front light, a rear camera for scanning text and speakers for audiobooks. No SIM card, so it stays on Wi-Fi, and the retail price sits near $280.
The appeal is obvious for commuters: it slips into a shirt pocket and runs Kindle, Kobo, Libby and any other reading app from Google Play on paper like glass. It is not waterproof, the plastic back scratches, and page refresh in third party apps takes tuning through the built in refresh modes. Anyone wanting a single purpose reader with weeks of standby should look elsewhere.
