Boox firmware 3.5.3 released
Boox firmware 3.5.3 released
BOOX Firmware V3.5.3 brings a brand-new UI, Dark Mode for reading, FreeMark, AI Assistant, and BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring.
My Boox Page just got this tonight. Main new feature for me is that they added dark mode to the stock Neoreader app.
There's a bug with the side buttons. After you long press a side button, the next short press won't do anything. Kind of annoying.
Their "brand-new UI" isn't much of a change. At least, I haven't noticed any significant improvements. Toggle buttons are now rectangle, instead of the rounded pill shape, and some icons are different. I think they changed the system font, but I changed it back.
Dark Mode in Neo Reader is an improvement, except that I don't use that app. Quickly tested it, and it doesn't seem to invert images, so you won't see them in dark mode. Systemwide dark mode would have been a significant UI improvement. Hopefully they'll come up with one some day.
The best improvement I have noticed is the new anti-flicker feature. When using "speed" refresh mode (I think it's called "balanced" on other devices), the display flickered annoyingly if there was any animation.
