TCL Nxtpaper 10s
TCL’s Nxtpaper 10s features a 10.1-inch IPS panel with 1200×1920 resolution. The interesting bit here is that the display features a matte finish instead of the more traditional glossy surface which should translate to a more comfortable viewing experience with less eye fatigue. The display on the 10S is TUV certified and TCL claims its matte coating reduces blue light emissions over 50% compared to regular glossy screen devices. TCL is promising natural color reproduction and clear viewing angles. The display on the 10s is also pressure sensitive and works with the optional T-Pen active stylus.
Under the hood, the Nxtpaper 10s is powered by a MediaTek Helio P23 chipset, paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage which is expandable via the microSD card slot.
There’s a 5MP selfie cam on the front while the back houses an 8MP shooter and an LED flash module. You get an 8,000 mAh battery that charges via USB-C at up to 18W speeds.
The tablet runs Android 11 out of the box and comes with a special TCL Kids mode which offers a vast library of educational and entertainment content. TCL is also offering optional type and flip cases as well as a writing pad accessory.
