Paired with last week’s reMarkable Paper Pro Move launch, the Mini Plus 2 makes it feel like compact, high-powered readers are finally having a moment. The device sports a 5.84-inch e-ink display with adjustable warm and cool front lighting for reading in any environment, a Rockchip RK3566, 6GB of RAM, and a hefty 512GB of storage, some serious specs for such a small slate. Despite the muscle, it stays portable at just 140 grams and 6.9mm thick. Better still, it runs Android 14, offering the freedom to sidestep locked-down ecosystems (looking at you, Kindle).
Official sales begin in China on September 22, priced at ¥1,399 with a launch discount dropping it to ¥1,299. The lack of a global release may frustrate international readers, but the Moaan InkPalm Mini Plus 2 underscores a growing trend: manufacturers are finally experimenting with compact form factors that don’t skimp on performance. With devices like this hitting the market, e-ink fans everywhere can hope for a future filled with more diverse and powerful pocket-sized readers.
