This tablet is excellent; it offers premium quality and is worth every single cent. It feels like having a Kindle but at a much lower price point. The battery life is impressive, system performance is smooth (it is fast), and the overall hardware feels and looks solid. I highly recommend it for any student, academic, avid reader, or casual user. It is perfect for reading books and streaming your favorite series. I also highly recommend getting the bundle with the pen and the cover—it is absolutely worth it!

Great tablet. Comes with everything you need. Display is crisp, especially with the paper screenguard it comes installed with. Battery life is stellar (standby was something ridiculous like 94 days) I use it with krita a little bit and regular tablet use. The sound is really good too.

Had it for exactly 7 days. Turned it off 1 night, which was difficult to do since it required a two-finger hold down of the power and volume buttons. Power off should be applied internally through the software and not buttons since it seems that companies or app developers do not want these devices to be turned off. Had difficulty getting the device to turn back on, but given the option to reboot, factory reset, etc. Was able to eventually power off again and get the device to turn on with previous settings.

I’ve been very happy with this purchase. The TCL NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 really delivers on both performance and usability. The NXTPAPER 4.0 display is easy on the eyes and feels much more natural than a standard tablet screen, especially when reading or sketching. The included stylus and flip case make it ready to go right out of the box, and the writing/drawing experience is smooth and responsive. The tablet handles multitasking well with 8+8GB RAM, and the 128GB of storage is plenty for apps, notes, and media. Battery life has been excellent—lasting comfortably through a full day of work and entertainment. Android 15 runs smoothly, and the built-in AI tools add some nice modern touches. Overall, it’s a great balance between a digital notebook, e-reader, and entertainment device. If you’re looking for a versatile Android tablet that feels unique and comfortable to use, this one is a solid choice.

Incredible tablet that's worth more than I paid. NXTPAPER's hybrid e-ink/monochrome/polychrome is really interesting - surprised more manufacturers aren't doing this. Solid build, but it can get a bit heavy using it as an e-reader. Battery life seems great. Watched two movies and a couple shows on a trip to South Korea, and still had plenty of battery life left. Full Google Play Store access. Only complaint is no built in stylus holder, but I'll live.

I was eyeing the Lenovo Idea Tab until I came across this TCL tablet. I was particularly interested in its NXTPAPER display, because I've also wanted a nice e-reader for comics, and this seemed like it would do well for that. I wanted a tablet for streaming video on the go, light web browsing, reading comics, displaying recipes in the kitchen, that sort of thing. This is a secondary device for me; I already have a MacBook Air and a Pixel 10 Pro. Pros: + Performance. This is a $200 tablet with an older mid-range SoC. It's not as fast as the latest iPad, but it's reasonably snappy and doesn't lag much. There's an occasional stutter, like when you open Maps and it zooms in, but nothing that would bother me. This tablet is *not* for gaming; its Mali G52-MC2 graphics chip is relatively weak today. Light gaming and/or older games are probably okay, but if you want to play Genshin Impact or Marvel Rivals, you will want to spend more. + Build quality is good. The frame is aluminum and very sturdy. It feels more premium than the price point would imply. + The display is very nice. I love that it's matte, and the resolution is crisp. The finish is smooth and it's not a fingerprint magnet. You inherently lose a little bit of clarity compared to a glass screen, but I much prefer anti-glare anyway. + The NXTPAPER modes are great! It's not exactly like e-ink; I can definitely still tell it's an LCD, but I like the effect. Comics look good in the color paper mode, though I wish I could adjust the saturation. Likewise, e-books look nice in the ink paper mode. I would have liked to see a physical switch for the NXTPAPER modes, but having a quick tile isn't too bad. + Battery life is very good, thanks to its huge 8000mAh battery. + The pen works well. I like that it's USB-C rechargeable, just like the tablet. I don't plan on using the pen much though. + TCL's Android skin is pretty light and unobtrusive. They haven't made too many customizations, but in general I like what they've added. The eye comfort modes and battery saving features are nice. Cons: - No guarantee of Android updates. I don't think TCL has pushed a single update since the tablet was released, and as far as I can tell, they haven't committed to upgrading to Android 16 either. The tablet is still on the August 2025 Android security update. - Speaker quality is just okay. It'll work fine for YouTube, but it's not so nice for music or movies. - No headphone jack. - It's a little on the heavy side, maybe due to the massive battery. It's not comfortable to hold one-handed for long periods of time. - The case is flimsy and thin. It works okay, but it's a bit ugly and doesn't feel nice to hold in portrait. It's nice that the tablet came with a case, as there are very limited case options otherwise, but I would have liked to see a better design. - Ambient light sensor is poorly placed. If you're right-handed and holding it in portrait, your hand will cover it if you're not careful. - Cameras are so-so. I don't know what you need a back camera for in a tablet anyway, apart from maybe scanning QR codes. The front camera should be adequate for video calls. - There's a big sticker on the back with the serial number on it. Other manufacturers laser-etch it on, or put a small sticker on the side. This feels like an afterthought for an otherwise nice-looking device. - The touchscreen can be weirdly unresponsive when charging. Sometimes it registered phantom taps, and sometimes it failed to register taps. This might be down to the particular charger or cable I used, but it was weird enough to mention. It works totally fine when unplugged. I think for $200, these are decent trade-offs. I'm happy with my purchase overall. It can do what I need it to, and I would recommend it as a secondary device.

I had this tablet for about a week. I picked it up on a Black Friday sale. I was excited to use it, since the screen seemed to be a decent alternative to e-ink, not exactly but at least easier on the eyes than a glossy LCD. The matte screen is a huge improvement over old laptop screens or tablets from years ago. The processor/RAM combo seemed fast enough for the basic apps I was using. I did watch a movie on it and while it was awkward to hold due to size/weight, it worked fine with decent color and solid sound quality at least over Bluetooth. Apps for the most part downloaded without issues, although when I tried to add my printer, I could never get it to work. For comparison, the printer works fine with another Android tablet of a different brand with the exact same Android version. There were a few other apps that would randomly crash or not work, but not so often that I was giving up on it. So I'm not fully confident in this specific chipset with Android 15. Then after I'd had it a week I went to turn it on one morning and found it stuck in a boot loop with the Android logo and then off and then back to Android logo. It would never load back to the icons again. I used to sideload ROMs and mess around with ADB so I have some tech experience. However, despite all my efforts I could not get the tablet to connect to the computer. Even a factory reset didn't fix the problem - there were too many corrupted files. The TCL website had a tool which I downloaded but that didn't work to connect either. I tried several different USB-C cables with no success. If that had worked, I might have been able to download the firmware, but after hours of trying to fix it, I gave up. So, if it works for you, great, but it's probably a question of time before it quits. I'd suggest turning off automatic OS or firmware updates. Mainly because I expect the tablet downloaded a firmware update overnight and then tried to install it without enough battery and corrupted itself. There should be some kind of safety check built into the process, but apparently not.
