Even if e-readers have lost some of their past popularity due to the rise of tablets and larger smartphone screens, the Chinese company didn't hesitate to introduce a new model.
Xiaomi has recently introduced the Moaan InkPalm 5 Pro Mini e-reader Edition, marking their first e-reader venture for 2023. This new edition stands out with its enhanced processor speed and a notable feature is its comprehensive English language support coupled with an ample 64GB internal storage capacity.
Designed with aesthetics in mind, the InkPalm Mini 5 Pro exhibits a color palette of black bezels complemented by silver on its other parts. Its compactness stands out, as this mini e-reader conveniently fits into one's pocket. Highlighting its screen, it boasts a 5.2-inch E INK Carta HD e-paper display, showcasing a resolution of 1280 x 780 pixels and a sharpness of 284ppi. Moreover, this screen is safeguarded by a protective glass layer that is seamlessly aligned with the bezel.

On the technical front, the InkPalm Mini 5 Pro Edition is powered by a quad-core 1.8GHz Quanzi processor. Accompanying this is 1GB of RAM, with connectivity options including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. An intriguing feature is its side volume buttons, which also serve the purpose of manual page-turning in certain reading applications. Operating on Android 8.1, this e-reader offers flexibility, allowing users to sideload apps either through the built-in browser or its USB-C port. Its endurance is also commendable, with a 1,300mAh battery ensuring up to 7 days of usage.
However, a point to note for international users is that some pre-installed apps on the e-reader do not support the English language. As a result, removing these Chinese applications might be essential upon purchase.
