Display

Supernote A5X has a 10.3" e-ink Mobius screen with a pixel density of 226ppi, while the A6X comes with a 7.8" e-ink Carta screen with a ppi of 300. Clearly, the A6X has a higher pixel density which means a sharper display to view texts and images. The A5X has a larger screen, which is better for those who want a larger screen that allows them to zoom in on the content for better readability.

CPU and Performance

Both devices feature the same quad-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz, along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Since they share the same CPU, RAM, and storage type, there is little to no difference in performance.

Battery

3800 mAh vs 2900 mAh. The A5X has a larger battery than the A6X, but it also has a bigger screen, which requires more power. Despite the difference in battery capacity, both devices offer good battery life, and you likely won't see a significant difference in actual usage.

Connectivity

The Supernote A5X and A6X both have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB-C port for charging and sharing data. This makes both of them connectivity-rich, making them more customizable, such as using a keyboard via USB or Bluetooth. 

Weight and dimension

The Supernote A6X has dimensions of 188 x 138 x 7.2 mm and weighs around 255g. In comparison, the Supernote A5X weighs around 375g. The A6X is lighter and you will feel more comfortable holding it for longer reading sessions, although it depends from person to person.

Stylus/Digital Pen

Both the Supernote A6X and A5X have a WACOM Active digitizer, which supports digital pen input for writing and note-taking.

Operating System

The Supernote A5X and A6X both run on Chauvet OS, a custom Android-based operating system. Supernote is consistent in providing monthly firmware updates, regularly introducing new features, apps, and optimizations, along with UI improvements.

Final Words

Finally, your choice will depend on your needs/wants. The Supernote A6X is a better option if you want a sharper and smaller display. On the other hand, the A5X is ideal if you want a larger screen and longer battery life, but remember that it's a bit heavier and larger. And of course, we have to consider the prices too. In this case, the A5X is more expensive than the A6X, so the A6X has a cost advantage.

That's it, folks. Let me know which one you would choose. You can drop your queries in the comment section below. I'll see you in the next one ...

Wait for some time, then press the power button once again to light up the screen. Your Koboreader should be unfrozen now. This trick worked on my reader, but not always.
