We just reported to you a few days ago that Kobo will launch the first batch of color readers , Kobo Libra Color and Kobo Clara Color . Unexpectedly, today (April 10) will usher in the official release (please remember that there is also a color reader that has not received much attention). Clara BW) and pre-sale, it also brought overwhelming publicity and unboxing videos.
In terms of hardware specifications, in addition to the information introduced in our last news (Kaleido 3 panel, Libra model supporting Kobo Stylus 2, etc. ), there are several differences worth introducing to readers. The first is the upgrade of the processor. Both Kobo Libra Color and Kobo Clara Color have been upgraded from single-core 1.0GHz to dual-core 2.0GHz. It is estimated that they use the same MediaTek MT8113 as the Elipsa 2E, and the performance will be significantly improved (note: Clara BW has not been upgraded!); Secondly, both color machines indicate that they are "equipped with FastGLR", which means that Kobo has made algorithm adjustments for color display, allowing users to have a better and faster color reading experience. The third is that the Libra Color battery has been increased from the previous generation’s 1500 mAh to 2050 mAh. The Clara Color is the same as the previous generation, the same 1500 mAh. The fourth is that the mold has changed slightly. Libra Color is slightly narrower and thinner than Libra 2. , is also lighter (144.6 x 161 x 8.3 mm, 199.5 grams / 144.6 x 161.6 x 9 mm, 215 grams). Clara Color and Clara BW are both slightly heavier, slightly wider and thicker than Clara 2E (112 x 160 x 9.2 mm) , 174 grams / 112.05 x 159.02 x 8.66 mm, 171 grams), therefore, the two generations of accessories cannot be used universally.
In addition, by the way, the handwriting notebook of Libra Color, which has a note-taking function, supports Kobo Cloud backup and can be synchronized to Dropbox and Google Drive.
