TCL launches NXTPAPER 11 Plus in the US with paper-like display for $249
TCL is bringing its NXTPAPER tech back into the spotlight with the launch of the NXTPAPER 11 Plus in the US. Priced at $249 and available exclusively through Walmart, the new tablet blends a unique paper-like viewing experience with modern hardware and Android 15 out of the box, positioning it as a budget-friendly alternative to eye-fatiguing LCD slates.
TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus Specifications
The NXTPAPER 11 Plus comes with TCL’s fourth-generation NXTPAPER display technology. Unlike traditional LCDs, this 11.5-inch 2.2K screen uses nano-etched layers to create a matte, anti-glare surface that mimics the visual comfort of real paper. TCL claims the panel filters 61% more blue light than standard displays, reduces fingerprints and smudges, and maintains vivid color accuracy across use cases. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and touch sampling for fluid scrolling, making it just as suitable for fast-paced multitasking as for reading or creative sketching.
Under the hood, the tablet is powered by a MediaTek Helio G100 processor clocked at up to 2.2GHz, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. While there’s no SD card slot, the onboard memory should be ample for casual users. TCL is positioning this tablet for streaming and productivity, aided by a large 8000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. Battery life is further optimized via TCL’s Smart Manager and battery saver modes, which the company says should deliver a full day of typical usage.
On the software front, the NXTPAPER 11 Plus ships with Android 15, bringing features like split-screen multitasking, adaptive brightness, and AI-assisted gestures. TCL has added a dedicated NXTPAPER key that lets users toggle between various display modes for reading, browsing, or streaming.
Camera performance isn’t a focal point, but the tablet still equips an 8MP autofocus rear shooter and an 8MP fixed-focus front camera, both capable of 1080p video. Video calls are backed by a dual-mic setup with noise cancellation and a quad-speaker system enhanced by DTS 3D Boom Sound for immersive audio.
Physically, the tablet measures 6.55mm in thickness and weighs 490 grams. It features a clean matte finish in Onyx Black, a USB-C port for charging and audio, and support for OTG accessories (cable sold separately). Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and hotspot support for up to 10 devices.
For users looking for a larger canvas, TCL’s NXTPAPER 14 is also available via Amazon, offering a similar display experience on a bigger screen.

TCL Launches 5G Mobile WiFi P50 and WiFi Router BE36 at CES 2026
TCL is done waiting for the future of connectivity; it just launched it. At CES 2026, the company unveiled the 5G Mobile WiFi P50 and WiFi Router BE36, two devices designed to cover the entire spectrum of modern connectivity needs, from your backyard to your basement office.
The TCL 5G Mobile WiFi P50 is more than a pocketable hotspot. It’s the first 5G mmWave mobile router that also supports both fast charging and wireless charging. It packs a 5000mAh battery for up to 12 hours of portable use, doubles as a power bank, and features a 2.4-inch touchscreen for live network stats. On the connectivity side, it delivers up to 3.97Gbps via full-spectrum 5G (mmWave + Sub-6), and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speeds topping 5.8Gbps for up to 64 devices. There’s even a Gigabit Ethernet port for times when wireless just won’t cut it.
While the P50 is built for mobility, the TCL WiFi Router BE36 is focused on home performance. It offers 3.6Gbps Wi-Fi 7 across dual bands, supports up to 512 device connections, and leverages 3T3R (2ss) antenna tech to boost range. It’s EasyMesh R6 compatible too, meaning you can deploy multiple units to blanket large homes in a seamless, zero dead-zone network.
Security hasn’t been left behind either. The BE36 includes firewall-level protection with malware filters, brute-force attack detection, and smart-home security baked in. There’s even a built-in VPN suite and a dedicated gaming acceleration mode. Rounding it off is a 2.5GE port for serious wired performance.
In related news, TCL also unveiled the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, billed as the world’s first HDR10-enabled AR glasses, alongside the NxtPaper 70 Pro tablet with a dedicated eye-care display and stylus support at CES 2026.

TCL Unveils World’s First HDR10 AR Glasses: RayNeo Air 4 Pro at CES 2026
TCL’s RayNeo has introduced the RayNeo Air 4 Pro AR glasses at CES 2026. The device is the world’s first AR glasses to support HDR10, aiming to deliver a cinema-like viewing experience in a lightweight wearable form.
RayNeo originally launched the Air 4 Pro in China last year. The company is now taking the product global, positioning it as a new category of “head-mounted TV.” The glasses feature a 201-inch virtual display at a 6-meter distance and weigh just 76 grams. They connect to USB-C display output devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Switch 2.
The Air 4 Pro is powered by the custom Vision 4000 chip. The processor enables real-time video enhancements, including upscaling SDR content to HDR and converting 2D video into 3D. The glasses support HDR10 for richer contrast and more vibrant color reproduction.
For audio, RayNeo collaborated with Bang & Olufsen to design a four-speaker system. The glasses use directional sound tubes to provide immersive audio while minimizing sound leakage. The sound system has been fine-tuned by B&O’s audio engineering team.
The design focuses on comfort and portability. Adjustable nose pads and a balanced frame allow for extended use. The lightweight build makes it suitable for travel and on-the-go entertainment.
RayNeo plans to launch the Air 4 Pro globally on January 25 for $299. The price undercuts many other AR glasses in the market, making it one of the most affordable options in its class.
If you are planning to buy an AR headset right now, the Air 3s Pro is also worth considering, as it is currently on sale for $249.
