Rumor about the Onyx Boox’s Android version
It seems that Onyx Boox will have Android 9.0 from a video posted on Onyx Boox’s FB group and it only shows the rotation feature.

Does anyone has heard something about that?

Since there are persistent rumors that Boyue will offer Android 8.0 on some of their devices by October, it makes sense that Onyx will try to stay ahead of the game!

Totally agree with you. It seems that Onyx will definitely make improvements for the Android version to compete with the Boyue.

Probably, assuming past Onyx behaviour. Anyway, 2GB RAM is the minimum acceptable for android 6.0, so for android 9.0 probably is not enough to be properly fluent.

Maybe for a future Max3 or a RAM incresed version of the Nova

android 9 ram requirements are the same, so there's no excuse other than "because potato"

Some devices like Note Pro are very capable, 4G RAM. I think HW is not the problem.

I have the anniversary edition Max 2 (white colour) and it has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB storage. It was released in October 2018. I purchased it in Europe via ereader store (based in Germany). On Amazon Germany I saw some units of Max 2 (black colour) with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB storage available for purchase around June 2019.
So not all Max 2 models have 2 GB of RAM. What is confusing is that the company didnt change the model number!! The box I had said it was Max 2 Pro, and people and even some Onyx salespeople said no its not called Max 2 Pro. Very confusing indeed!! From my personal experience of both Max 2 (with 2 GB RAM) vs Max 2 (4 GB RAM) there is a significant difference in the performance, but it depends on the type of usage.
