Save $110: Amazon’s Prime Day has dropped a Prime Exclusive deal that brings the uniquely interesting TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus tablet down to just $260 from its usual price of $370. That’s only $24 more than its record-low price. Right now, you’ll save $110 on this solid Android tablet, which includes a stylus and a folio case in the box.
For folks who spend hours reading and taking notes, the paper-like matte screen reduces glare. This feature makes it a standout in a market crowded with harsh, bright tablet screens.
What makes the Nxtpaper 11 Plus different from most Android tablets is its display. TCL’s Nxtpaper technology uses a matte finish and specialized viewing modes designed to reduce glare and eye strain while preserving color and responsiveness of a traditional LCD — unlike e-ink displays.
CNET expert David Carnoy says, “The key selling point of the Nxtpaper 11 Plus compared to other Android tablets is the ability to switch between three display modes. Regular mode is the brightest and makes the tablet resemble a typical tablet with an LCD screen, although it isn’t the brightest due to the matte layer on the screen.”
The tablet features an expansive 11.5-inch 2.2K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. TCL has also bundled in a pressure-sensitive stylus alongside a protective case. These are accessories that most competing tablets sell separately. You’ll also find a long-lasting 8000mAh battery, Android 15 support and preinstalled productivity-focussed AI tools.
This deal makes most sense for students, avid readers and frequent note-takers as it gives you the eye comfort benefits of an e-ink screen while giving you the same responsiveness and vibrant colors of a conventional display.
