Tablets are great devices to keep us entertained, but they can also be quite straining on the eyes over long periods of time. Thankfully, at CES 2025, TCL has a solution for that. TCL has announced the Nxtpaper 11 Plus tablet, the company’s first device to use its new Nxtpaper 4.0 display tech.

What is Nxtpaper 4.0? It’s the latest version of TCL’s Nxtpaper tech, which is a unique type of display that addresses challenges in visual comfort for its users. With Nxtpaper 4.0, TCL has made some significant improvements as it focuses on user comfort while retaining enhanced visual clarity.

Nxtpaper 4.0 uses a complex nano-matrix lithography technology to improve the overall clarity and sharpness of Nxtpaper displays. Users should see more precise color reproduction, whether you’re a general user or a creative professional. It also introduces a new AI-driven Smart Eye Comfort Mode and Personalized Eye Comfort Mode. Both modes optimize the visual experience by adjusting it based on various usage scenarios and preferences to maximize comfort levels for the user.

The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus is the first TCL tablet that uses the new Nxtpaper 4.0 tech. The 11-inch display on the Nxtpaper 11 Plus is portable, but still provides users with a large enough canvas for work, creativity, and entertainment.

Regardless of how you use the Nxtpaper 11 Plus, the tablet puts users’ well-being first by maximizing eye comfort and reducing fatigue based on personalized needs, habits, and preferences.

On top of having a healthier display, there’s the upgraded Nxtpaper Key on the tablet. This is an all-in-one shortcut button that you can customize with gestures, including single, double, and long presses. The button can activate AI tools, frequently used apps, or whatever else you need to streamline the tablet experience.

The Nxtpaper 11 Plus is also the company’s first AI-powered tablet, so there are other AI tools built-in, like Text Assist, Circle to Search, Smart Voice Memo, and Smart Translator.

For the hardware itself, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus has an 11.5-inch 2.2K Nxtpaper display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It comes with the T-Pen stylus for navigation and drawing. Visuals should look crystal clear, and those who want to use it for creative work will get 100% sRGB color gamut coverage. It also has 550 nits of brightness in sunlight, which should help make the tablet more usable outdoors, especially since the display is anti-reflective.

TCL hasn’t revealed the price of the Nxtpaper 11 Plus just yet, and all we know right now is that it is coming later in 2025. However, after using the Nxtpaper 11 last year, we were pretty impressed with the Nxtpaper technology, so we look forward to seeing how the Nxtpaper 11 Plus does in real-world usage.

How I made my Android tablet better than a Windows laptop

Roughly two years ago, I argued how almost every company making Android devices wants an ecosystem like Apple, but they just can't have it! Two years later, I still feel the same, even though brands have landscaped their ecosystems to present better cross-device connectivity (an essence of ecosystems).

However, brands haven't been able to overcome the detachment between Android and Windows yet, which has especially alienated productivity-oriented devices like big and powerful Android tablets from realizing their full potential.

Google just announced Android 16. Here’s everything new

No, that headline isn't a typo. A little over a month after Android 15 was released to the masses in October, Google has already announced Android 16 and begun rolling out its first developer beta of the newest Android version.

If this seems like a much earlier release than usual, that's because it is. We typically expect the first developer beta of the next Android update to arrive in February. For Android 16, however, Google has pushed the timeline up by a few months and launched Android 16 Developer Preview 1 in mid-November.
Why Android 16 is launching so much earlier

Amazon quietly launched three new Android tablets with a bunch of AI features

When Amazon launches a new tablet, there's usually quite a bit of fanfare. But this time, the retail giant has quietly unveiled out three new Fire HD 8 tablets: the Fire HD 8 (2024), Fire HD 8 Kids, and Fire HD 8 Kids Pro. These might sound like iterative improvements, but don't be fooled, as Amazon has added some serious oomph to these tablets.

The new Fire HD 8 tablets include a writing assistant that's built into the keyboard. Have you ever written something out and thought it lacked a certain pizazz? The assistant will help tighten up your text. The Amazon Silk browser also now has a feature that will summarize we pages so you get the gist of the message without reading the entire story, while another AI tool lets you create custom background images through a text prompt.
