Boox, a company known for making e-readers, introduced a new device called the Picco last July. It's inspired by the Xteink X4 e-reader but has several unique features. Recently, more details about the Picco have emerged from the IFA electronics trade show, though the price is still unknown. One notable difference from the Xteink devices is that the Picco will not include magnets on the back for attaching to a phone. Instead, it features a 3.97-inch e-paper touchscreen display, which The Verge’s Andrew Liszewski described as a “welcome upgrade” from the X4 Pro. The device includes physical page-turn buttons that can be programmed for different actions based on short or long presses. Unlike some e-readers that have built-in storage, the Picco relies entirely on a microSD card to store content. It will be available in two color options: black and white. The device is designed to be compact and portable, with dimensions of 135 x 83 x 8.5 mm. It supports Wi-Fi connectivity and has a battery capacity of approximately 8,000 mAh, promising long usage between charges. The Picco will be compatible with popular e-book formats like EPUB, PDF, and MOBI. It also includes a built-in dictionary and supports multiple languages, making it useful for readers in different regions. In addition to e-reading, the Picco offers several other features. It includes a front-facing camera for taking photos and scanning documents. The device will be available in two versions: one with a 3.97-inch display and another with a larger 6.8-inch display. It also has a built-in speaker for audio playback and supports Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with wireless headphones. The device includes a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope for motion detection, enabling features like tilt-to-scroll and orientation detection. The Picco also includes a built-in compass for navigation and supports GPS functionality, which could be useful for location-based features. It has a built-in microphone for voice commands and supports voice-to-text functionality, allowing users to interact with the device using their voice. These features make the Picco not just an e-reader but a multifunctional device that could appeal to a wide range of users.
