Known for its impressive e-ink tablets, Remarkable has just launched the latest addition to its collection.
The Paper Pro Move promises to build upon the success of the 4.5-star rated Paper Pro but housed in a smaller and more compact tablet.
But what else separates the two e-ink tablets other than their respective size? We explain the key differences, alongside noteworthy similarities, to help you decide which tablet will likely suit you best.
Price and Availability
The newly launched Remarkable Paper Pro Move is available now, alongside the Marker stylus, with a starting price of £399. If you’d prefer to upgrade to the Marker Plus, then this will set you back £439. Remarkable also explains that there are discounts available when you add a Book Folio to your order.
In comparison, the Remarkable Paper Pro is considerably more expensive, with a starting RRP of £559. Plus, much like the Pro Move, you have the option to upgrade to the Marker Plus for an additional £40.
Both have a colour display
We’ll start with the key similarity between the Paper Pro Move and Paper Pro, which is that both sport a colour display.
In a nutshell, Remarkable’s Canvas Color display is made up of millions of ink particles, divided into four colours, which is a similar way to how colours are mixed for newsprint. These four groups can then be combined into different solid colours to create a range of natural tones and “more sophisticated blending” too.
While we’re yet to review the Paper Pro Move, we enjoyed our time with the Paper Pro and hailed its Canvas Colour display as making note-taking feel “more eye-catching and engaging”. As the same display can be found in the Paper Pro Move, we can reasonably expect a similar experience there, but we’ll update this versus once we’ve spent time with the device.
Plus, both displays are fitted with an adjustable reading light while able to reflect natural light without causing eye strain too.
Paper Pro has a larger screen
The biggest and most notable difference between the Paper Pro and the newly launched Paper Pro Move is that the former has a much larger display at 11.8-inches. We were impressed by the Paper Pro’s larger display, as we found that it not only naturally allowed for more space in note-taking but it made reading documents much easier, as it negated the need to zoom in.
At just 7.3-inches, which is even smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 when it’s unfolded, the Paper Pro Move promises to be a more flexible option for those who want to experience a paper tablet but in a considerably smaller size.
Remarkable promises the Paper Pro Move is “big enough to hold your work, yet small enough to not get in the way”, making it ideal for “spontaneous inspiration or discreet note-taking during meetings.”

Paper Pro is heavier
Perhaps unsurprisingly, as it has a much larger display, the Paper Pro is considerably heavier than the Paper Pro Move. In fact, weighing 525g, the Paper Pro is more than double the weight of the Paper Pro Move, which weighs just 235g.
With this in mind, the Paper Pro is arguably much less portable than the Pro Move, and likely better suited to those who aren’t frequently on the move.
Both support the optional Connect subscription
Although it’s not a necessity, there’s the option to sign up to Remarkable’s Connect subscription with both the Paper Pro Move and Paper Pro.
As far as subscriptions go, Connect is one of the cheaper options at just £2.99 a month or £29.90 a year. Plus, new Remarkable users will benefit from a 100-day free trial too. Connect offers numerous benefits including templates and workbooks to choose from, unlimited cloud storage and the ability to take and edit notes via Remarkable apps without needing to have your Paper Pro or Pro Move to hand.
Paper Pro has a larger battery capacity
Although the Paper Pro is fitted with a mighty 5030mAh battery, which is akin to the best Android phones, the e-ink tablet actually promises the same amount of battery life as the smaller Paper Pro Move. Both promise up to two weeks of battery life with regular use, while the Paper Pro benefits from up to 90 days when in standby mode too.
As we’re yet to review the Paper Pro Move, we can’t verify these claims yet. However, we did find the Paper Pro lived up to the claims. In fact, we tested the Paper Pro with its backlight constantly set to the brightest setting, so there’s a chance that those who opt for a dimmer setting may see the Paper Pro last even longer between charges.
Early Verdict
Essentially, the biggest factors when deciding between the newly launched Paper Pro Move and Paper Pro are: size and budget. If you’d prefer a larger surface area to write on, and don’t mind the extra weight, then the Paper Pro is an easy recommendation. However, if you’re happy with a more compact device and would prefer to save a bit of money in the process, then the Paper Pro Move seems like a promising alternative.
We’ll be sure to update this guide once we’ve reviewed the Remarkable Paper Pro Move.
