The TCL NXTPAPER 11 is smaller than the 12” tablet from CES and cheaper too - it costs less than half the money. The new slate has a 10.95” IPS LCD with 2,000 x 1,200px resolution (15:9), which has a special coating that gives it a paper-like texture. This is matched with an optional stylus supports stylus that can detect 4,096 different levels of pressure.
The NXTPAPER 2.0 tech is much brighter
than the original and can hit 500 nits. The anti-glare design makes it usable
even under bright ambient light and a dedicated light sensor will match the
display’s color temperature to that ambient light. The tablet is powered by a
Helio P60T chipset and lacks mobile connectivity (the NXTPAPER 12 Pro does 5G
thanks to its Kompanio 800T chip). It runs Android 13 and has advanced
multitasking capabilities like split-screen and floating window modes. Storage
is expandable via the microSD slot.
Local connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 5
(ac) and Bluetooth 5.0. The 8MP front facing camera has a wide 100° lens and
there are two mics and four speakers on board, making this slate well-suited for
video calls. There is also an 8MP camera on the back. The tablet measures only
6.9mm thick, weighs 462g and has an 8,000mAh battery built in. This is charged
over USB-C with the included 18W charger.
The TCL NXTPAPER 11 will be available in
Europe starting in May and will later expand to other regions. The slate is
priced US$ 250, the T-Pen stylus is sold separately. TCL has other accessories
ready too, including a Bluetooth keyboard, flip case and a TP screen protector.
