The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus has dropped to $236 at Amazon, marking a new record low and down from its usual $370 price, saving you a solid $134. That’s a pretty major cut for a tablet that ships with both a stylus and a case right out of the box.
What makes this one stand out is the display. TCL’s Nxtpaper tech is designed to feel a little easier on your eyes than a standard glossy tablet screen, with a matte finish that cuts down on glare and gives it more of a paper-like vibe. It’s especially nice if you spend a lot of time reading, sketching or doomscrolling way too late at night.
You’re also getting an 11.5-inch 2.2K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 256GB of storage and an 8,000mAh battery, so it’s not sacrificing specs just because it’s focused on comfort. The included stylus makes it feel a bit more useful for note-taking or casual drawing without forcing you to spend extra on accessories later.
Our 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 $134 discount also isn’t just cosmetic pricing; it meaningfully lowers the entry point into a more capable, accessory-included setup that would typically cost a lot more to piece together separately.
