Xiaomi: New 7-inch e-reader presented
Xiaomi has just launched a new e-reader that features a high-resolution E Ink panel and comes with a finely adjustable backlight. It also boasts an intelligent refresh mode designed to recognize text and photos.
Known for its wide range of smartphones, Xiaomi is expanding its line of product categories to include e-readers. While some models may not be readily available outside of China, this new e-reader is currently being offered in the Chinese market.
This model is based on an E Ink Carta 1200 display with a pixel density of 300 DPI, promising high playback quality. The seven-inch display has a resolution of 1680 x 1240, with 32 levels of adjustable backlight intensity and customizable color temperature.
Weighing just 166 grams, the e-reader is equipped with alignment detection sensors and supports navigation via both the touchscreen and dedicated buttons. Running on Android 11, it features 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.
Connectivity options include both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands for wireless networks, along with Bluetooth 5.2 support. The reader’s 1200 mAh battery is said to last up to 40 hours on a single charge. A magnetic housing provides an additional 1950 mAh battery. The e-reader is currently available in China for around $200, with no information yet on a global release.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
