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.
