Since the release of V3.0 Firmware’s new features on Max Lumi and Note Air, many users have been waiting for their firmware updates.
Based on the beta test group’s feedback and suggestions, we’ve eliminated some bugs, improved many features, and well prepared for the mass release. We highly appreciate the BOOX users in the beta test group 🧡.
After the V3.0 Firmware update package for Max3, Note2, Nova2, and Poke2, we’re happy to release the V3.0 Firmware changelog & packages for more previous models. You can update your device via OTA (Settings>Firmware Update) or download the package and install it manually.
