TCL’s latest tablet with a paper-like display tempts with its budget price tag

TL;DR TCL has launched the NXTPAPER version of the Tab A1 Plus that landed in the US this past April. The tablet features largely similar hardware specifications, but with an easier-on-the-eyes screen and a larger battery. TCL is already offering a steep 25% discount on the Tab A1 Plus NXTPAPER for US customers.

If you’ve followed our coverage of TCL’s NXTPAPER-branded devices , you’ll know we’re big fans of the technology and its ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between modern LCD panels and e-paper-type displays found in e-book readers. The manufacturer has now released another NXTPAPER-equipped model in the US, and it has all the markings of being a great midrange tablet. For some background, TCL announced the Tab A1 Plus with a standard display alongside the Tab A1 Plus NXTPAPER earlier this year.

While the standard version went on sale back in April , TCL now shares in a press release that its NXTPAPER sibling is finally going up for sale in the US.
