Note Air5 C Gets Smoother: New Smooth Refresh Mode Reduces Visual Lag
E Ink screens are prized for their readability and low power consumption, but they also come with slow refresh rates. This lag can disrupt your focus while working or studying. To address this, we have an upcoming firmware for the Note Air5 C. It introduces a new Smooth refresh mode in EinkWise, which delivers cleaner transitions, faster responses, and noticeably reduced visual lag.
Smooth Experience on Third-party Apps
BOOX Note Air5 C runs on Android 15 with Google Play Store pre-installed, giving users the freedom to use a wide range of third-party apps. With this Smooth refresh mode, scrolling across app interfaces becomes noticeably smoother, allowing content to move more fluidly, thus minimizing interruptions caused by traditional ePaper refresh limitations.

Beyond scrolling, in-app interactions, such as opening menus and switching tabs, also feel more cohesive with fewer ghosting effects. It maintains the comfort of an ePaper display without sacrificing the smooth app experience on LCD or OLED tablets.
This improvement enables Note Air5 C users to accomplish more. General tablet tasks run smoothly, including web browsing, document editing, reading webtoons, and even video streaming. With minimized ghosting and fast response time, the Note Air5 C becomes more practical for everyday use.

Dynamic Content Viewing with Less Lag
ePaper screens typically display traces of previous images, especially during motion. When you switch to Smooth refresh mode on your Note Air5 C for content that includes motion or changing visuals, ghosting becomes much less noticeable. This reduces distractions and makes it easier to follow moving elements on screen, whether in animations or apps with subtle visual effects.
Smooth refresh mode also improves the experience of playing light puzzle games such as Sudoku and crosswords. With clearer transitions, students can navigate through digital worksheets or interactive quiz apps more comfortably during online lessons.

Wrap-up
The new Smooth refresh mode upgrade enhances both writing and reading on the Note Air5 C. It makes everyday app usage feel smoother overall. And with this update, the Note Air5 C becomes a more versatile ePaper tablet, delivering a more fluid experience for work, learning, and leisure.
