Lenovo had promised a Spring release for the Smart Paper and there had been multiple listings of the products in the US and Canada. However, these listings have now been taken down and availability is tied only to the UK and the Netherlands. Lenovo has omitted any shipping options for the model.

The Lenovo Smart Paper is a rebranded version of the Lenovo Yoga Paper from 2022. The Lenovo Yoga was originally released in China and the new Smart Paper supports more languages than the Yoga. The Smart Paper has a 10.3-inch E INK Carta HD e-paper screen with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels and 227ppi.

The Lenovo Smart Paper can be used comfortably to read in dark or dimly lit environments, thanks to its front light. You can also turn off the light and use ambient light for reading content. The tablet has a cover that puts the device in sleep mode whenever the screen is covered.

The Smart Paper is powered by the Rockchip RK3566 processor with a 4GB/ 64GB configuration. It supports Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and a USB-C port is also available for data transfer. Its 3,500mAh battery can last for up to 10 weeks and optical character recognition (OCR) is supported.

The Lenovo Smart Paper’s matte screen layer enhances the writing experience with its non-slippery surface. The stylus of the device is highly responsive with 23ms latency. Lenovo says the stylus offers a silky-smooth writing experience and it has 4,095 degrees of pressure sensitivity. The Lenovo Smart Paper e-note’s screen supports palm rejection technology.

It is unclear whether the Lenovo Smart Paper will support app installation via an app store or other means. This feature was lacking in the Lenovo Yoga. It was impossible to sideload apps and photos on the Lenovo Yoga. It is also unclear whether this drawback is also present in the new Smart Paper e-note. The Lenovo Smart Paper starts at €499 (~$536) and £450 (~$562) in the Netherlands and the UK respectively.
