The Palma is a pocket ereader but it can also be a phone replacement- except for sms and calls since it doesnt have a sim card slot. But you can use it for most smartphone use cases such as texting on social media and whatsapp, reaing articles, browsing reddit and other things. You can even take pictures using the 16 MP rear camera- the photos will look monochrome on the device but will have colors if you view it on normal displays.
The Go 6 however is mainly a portable eReader. And it’s priced very fairly for its size and features- 149$ is a great deal for an android ereader with Google Play. You can use it for other things since its android but its 2GB ram and lack of speakers won’t let you do much.
