Everything you need in a tablet
In reality, the TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus poses Another way to read, work or create while taking care of eye healthand it does so through such important elements as a 11.5-inch 2.2K screen at 120 Hz with a matte finish, 8000 mAh battery with 33W PD fast charging and Android 15 as the operating system. For its interior, the technological house has opted for a MediaTek Helio G100which combines memory and generous storage for its price range (which is around €200). As for connections, it has been equipped with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 with USB-C charging, enough to play with a wireless controller, headphones and streaming.
However, despite its large format, it is surprising for how light it is, with around 490 grams and a thickness around 6.55 mmsomething that translates into a manageable body to carry in the backpack and use resting on the case. The surface is matte and anti-reflectivewith a treatment designed to reduce finger marks and improve outdoor reading with a brightness of around 550 nits. Here the 120 Hz refresh rate provides smooth interaction, whether reading, writing or watching multimedia content, and helps maintain faster reaction in menus and apps, so you can switch from one task to another with ease. As for color solutions, the screen offers good results with a ΔE precision of less than 1 and 100 percent sRGB coverage, so that photos, comics and documents maintain a pleasant result without that mirror shine common in conventional tablets.
Comfort modes
Additionally, TCL includes two eye comfort modes. The first is responsible for adapting the image parameters through scene detection with AI, modifying brightness, contrast, gamma, color temperature, saturation, sharpness and the refresh rate itself depending on the activity. The second is customizable and allows you to adjust the image according to your preferences. To all this, add VersaViewoffering up to three display profiles to instantly switch modes with the NXTPAPER button. There is a normal mode, color reading with calmer tones, and black and white reminiscent of an e-reader.
Performance and gaming
The NXTPAPER 11 Plus mounts the MediaTek Helio G100 and here it is advisable to be realistic. It’s a chip designed to run Android smoothly, support normal multitasking, and allow for reasonable gaming sessions. In this case it is accompanied by configurations with expandable memory and 256 GB of storage.
In terms of electronic entertainment, its 120Hz makes menus and scrolling look smoother, but the processor sets limits when a video game demands resources. In light or competitive titles, such as ‘Brawl Stars’, ‘Rocket League Sideswipe’ or ‘Asphalt 9’, the experience is usually pleasant and the large panel makes it more bearable to look at the screen for a while. In shooters like ‘Call of Duty Mobile’ or ‘PUBG Mobile’, the most sensible thing is to go to medium values and prioritize stability. In any case, to play big without straining the hardware, the most practical thing is to opt for cloud gaming through services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming or GeForce NOW.
Healthier screen use
Unlike tablets equipped with conventional LCD screens, NXTPAPER 4.0 technology offers a more natural experience with fewer reflectionsreducing eye strain without sacrificing color richness and depth. The 11.5-inch display with 2.2K resolution incorporates a suite of protective measures, minimizing the emission of harmful blue light without compromising clarity.

NXTPAPER, audio and cameras
The NXTPAPER key now functions as a multifunctional shortcutsomething that allows you to activate AI tools and applications with customizable gestures. In relation to audio, TCL is committed to four speakers and two microphoneswith software improvements and DTS algorithm aimed at dealing with clearer dialogues. In practice, it is sufficient audio for videos and games, but it is not its greatest asset since at high volumes it usually loses quality and distortion appears, so, for music, series or movies, a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the problem is over.
If we look at the cameras, TCL has opted for 8 MP on the front and rear, with a stabilization called CerterFace that keeps your face focused on video calls. In terms of consumption, it has an 8000 mAh battery that guarantees a full day of use, while the 33 W fast charging minimizes waiting time.

Its matte screen makes reading, studying and using it outdoors more bearable than many options with glossy glass, and the 120 Hz refresh rate is appreciated when traveling and playing games.
