iReader has unveiled its latest flagship E-Ink reader, the Neo 3 Ultra, in China. The device is positioned as a compact premium reader focused on speed, display clarity and long battery life. It launches at 1,499 yuan (around $220) and brings several display and performance upgrades compared to previous models.
The Neo 3 Ultra features a 6-inch E-Ink display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 1072 × 1448 resolution, delivering a 300 PPI pixel density. According to iReader, the screen uses a nano-level anti-glare etched surface designed to reduce reflections and improve readability under bright light.
To enhance the reading experience, the device includes iDisplay Ultra Refresh technology, a system that minimizes ghosting and flickering on the E-Ink panel while maintaining low power consumption. Complementing this is iClean 2.0 AI, which selectively refreshes parts of the screen instead of the entire panel, helping improve visual clarity and responsiveness.
Lighting is handled by ComfortLight Pro+, a front-lighting system offering 30 brightness levels and adjustable color temperature. The feature provides even illumination across the display and uses DC dimming to reduce eye strain during long reading sessions.
Under the hood, the Neo 3 Ultra runs on an octa-core processor paired with a dedicated GPU, which iReader says delivers twice the performance of previous models. The device is equipped with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, along with GPU Turbo 5.0, a graphics engine designed to improve page-turn speed and overall interface smoothness.
The reader runs SmartOS 3.4, which supports multitasking, gesture controls and customizable app organization.
Power comes from a 2000 mAh battery, rated for up to 53 hours of reading or around 18 days of standby time. The Neo 3 Ultra supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, while a USB-C port handles charging and data transfers.
The device supports a wide range of file formats including EPUB, PDF and MP3, allowing users to read books, view documents or listen to audiobooks. Despite the hardware upgrades, the reader remains lightweight at 150 grams and measures 7.5 mm thick, keeping the compact form factor typical of 6-inch e-readers.
