Pocketbook Touch Lux 4 or Pocketbook Verse

Milanya · 07-03-2024, 08:51 AM

I own a Pocketbook Touch Lux 4 which is still working but getting a bit slow and not very responsive. Would replacing it with a new Pocketbook Verse be a good choice? What can Verse do that Touch Lux 4 cannot?

Here are the full specs side-by-side (on my comparison site): https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/...Book+Verse#sbs

Things the Verse can do that Lux 4 can't:
- Use color adjustable / warm frontlight
- Auto-rotate the screen based on how you're holding it (automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa)
- Apply dark mode to text (white letters on black background)
- (most likely) use the same charger as your smartphone, as it has a USB-C charging port

Also, the Verse likely to be a bit faster as it has a 1 GHz dual core processor vs the single-core 1 GHz processor on the Touch Lux 4.

Thank you, Guido. Your reply was very informative.
Do you know if auto-rotate the screen can be disabled?
Do you know if it is true that the frame in Verse is stronger than in Touch Lux? I saw it on YouTube somewhere, but could not find any confirmation.

Not sure about how strong the frame is, but you can turn of the auto-rotate (G-sensor) function, you can see the option to do so in this video: https://youtu.be/PNQWrfmA4hc?si=Wt9IzAJRs5CDimiH&t=177
