Poke 5 Price and where to buy
The Poke 5 is priced at $169.99 which is 30$ more than the Poke 4 lite but of course, it also has more features than it like higher resolution and a microphone. You can get it from Onyx Boox’s official Shop where you can also add a magnetic case for 10$ more.
Poke 5 VS Poke 4 Lite
The advantages of Poke 5 are that it has features that the lite doesnt have like a built-in microphone, micro SD slot and support for a magnetic cover. The internal storage has also been bumped from 16GB to 32GB and the PPI has increased from 212 to 300 so the text will be crisper.
The Poke 4 Lite is better than the Poke 5 at price as it is 30$ less at $139 and it also weighs 10g less at 150g.
