Verified Facts

reMarkable says the Paper Pro Move uses the same Canvas Color panel found on last year’s Paper Pro but in a much smaller chassis. The Move measures 7.6 inches tall and 4.3 inches wide and presents a 7.3-inch active display area intended to match the footprint of a traditional reporter’s notepad.

Inside the slate is a 1.7GHz dual-core Cortex-A55 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The company reduced battery capacity to 2,344mAh from the larger model’s 5,030mAh but continues to advertise up to two weeks of typical use.

reMarkable reworked both hardware and software for the smaller format: the device retains the textured ridged edge and a high-friction rear cover surface, and introduces more flexible UI placement (drag-and-drop toolbar) plus tighter gesture navigation for single-handed operation.

Mats Herding Solberg, reMarkable’s Chief Product Officer, positioned the Move as a device for “real work done while standing up and holding it in one hand,” and CTO Nico Cormier described earlier models as intended for controlled, desk-based use. Product manager Jon Dalvang said the team used the reporter’s notepad as a tactile template during development.

Context & Impact

The Move extends reMarkable’s focus on distraction-free, intentional computing into a truly pocketable form factor. The company’s product line began in 2016, followed by a second model in 2020, and last year’s Paper Pro introduced color and a backlight; the Move brings those capabilities to a smaller device aimed at mobile use.

By omitting Bluetooth and a small Type Folio keyboard option, reMarkable keeps the Move focused on handwriting and brief text edits via the on-screen keyboard. That design decision may limit the slate as a full writing replacement for users who rely on external keyboards.

The Move also pushes the company’s file-sharing and collaboration efforts: Quick Share can publish a file and present a QR code for browser-based viewing, and a new search feature indexes handwriting to help find notes across notebooks if handwriting is legible enough for OCR.

For professionals who already use full-size reMarkable slates on trains or at desks, the Move offers a trade-off: greater portability for a smaller writing area and more frequent scrolling in portrait mode, or a longer line of writing in landscape at the cost of single-hand holdability.

“We designed the Move to fit the size and feel of a reporter’s notepad so people can do real work while standing,”

Unconfirmed

  • Real-world battery runtime: the advertised two-week figure is manufacturer guidance and will vary with usage patterns.
  • OCR consistency across diverse handwriting styles: improved indexing is claimed, but individual results will vary and some conversions may contain errors.
  • Long-term durability when carried without a folio: reMarkable recommends folios, but drop-test performance for the Move has not been independently verified.

Bottom Line

The Paper Pro Move is a faithful shrink of reMarkable’s Paper Pro concept: it brings color e‑paper and focused note-taking into a pocketable package while asking users to accept trade-offs in input options and writing area. It will appeal to people who prioritize low-distraction, on-the-go scribbling and quick reference, but those who need extensive typing or larger canvases will likely prefer the full-size models.
