It’s not often that we get to talk about TCL, but the company has been blazing its own path for some years now, delivering unique Android products that stand out from the crowd. It’s not doing this by cramming the best hardware you can find on the market into its devices, but is instead offering an experience you can’t anywhere else.
It’s able to offer this by utilizing its own NXTPAPER technology, which delivers vivid colors but also has some of the properties of an ePaper screen. It’s easy on the eyes, responsive, and gives users the best of both worlds. The brand’s latest device, the Tab 8 NXTPAPER 5G, is an Android tablet that can now be purchased from Verizon.
This tablet might replace your e-reader
The TCL Tab 8 NXTPAPER 5G is a tablet that comes in a size that’s easy to carry, with a compact 8.7-inch NXTPAPER screen, which looks just as good as a traditional screen you’d find on other tablets, but also features the properties of an ePaper screen. TCL describes it as a screen with “nano-etched layers that provide an anti-glare surface.”
To put it simply, you get a matte screen that’s great for all environments and easy on the eyes, but still looks good with full color and responsiveness you’d expect from a device launching in 2025. The tablet also delivers plenty of power thanks to its MediaTek MT8755 chip that’s paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
There’s storage expansion using a microSD card up to 2TB. It has a large 6,000mAh battery which can last all day, along with an 8MP camera on the rear, and a 5MP camera on the front. It runs Android 15, which means you get a revamped OS that’s packed with impressive features. Plus, you get a 5G connection, which can help you stay online anywhere you go.
This tablet can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, but is made for someone that wants an e-reader with the power of an Android tablet too. Sure, you can get that experience with any Android tablet, but the screen really sets this device apart. It’s something you have to see and feel.
