The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus is one of those gadgets that sounds gimmicky on paper but actually delivers.
It’s an Android tablet with an 11.5-inch display that switches between full color and an E-Ink-like mode with a shortcut. Stream video, then flip to a paper-like screen for reading before bed. Same device. It’s got a 2.2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, plus quad speakers that actually sound decent.
Right now it’s $259 on Amazon, down from $370. That’s 30% off. It was $224 during Prime Day, so this isn’t the absolute lowest price — but it’s still a solid deal.
Inside: 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, an MTK Helio G100 processor, and an 8,000 mAh battery that lasts nearly all day. The matte display is easy on the eyes, and it comes with a stylus and flip case.
ZDNET’s reviewer used it for months and didn’t experience the lag or crashes you usually get with affordable Android tablets. That’s rare in this price range.
If you want one device for streaming, reading, and light work — and don’t want to spend iPad money — this is worth a look.
