The Boox Tab X released in 2023 is the successor to the Max Lumi 2 and they are very similar to each other but they do have a few differences as you can see in the table below-

Onyx Boox Max Lumi 2 VS Tab X
The main difference between the TabX and Lumi 2 is the battery– a whopping 2000mAh difference at that with the Lumi2 having 4300mAh and Tab X having 6300 mAh. And yet despite this, the Tab X is 10g lighter and 1mm thinner than the Lumi. There is more than a year difference in their release (Lumi 2 on Nov 2021 and Tab X on Jan 2023) so I guess advances in technology have made this possible and this time difference will show in other aspects too, both software and hardware, despite the fact that on paper they have similar specs.
The Boox Lumi 2 retails for $799 while the Tab X is at $879. If you can afford the extra amount, there is no doubt that the Tab X is the better choice here.
