The TCL Black Friday sales have started early, beginning with the unlocked TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro.
The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro might just be my favorite budget phone of all time, and this $279 sale makes it even easier than usual to recommend. We’ve seen the NXTPAPER 70 Pro at this price before, but that’s ok because it’s never been lower and likely won’t be for the rest of the year since this is the TCL Black Friday sale.
I’m not sure why TCL decided to start its sale a few weeks early, but the sale goes through November 30, so you’ve got a bit of time to decide on it if you don’t want to buy it right this minute. Regardless, this price won’t go any lower for an unlocked model.
The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro is an impressively capable phone packed with surprisingly good cameras, performance, excellent battery life, fun features, and a screen that’s going to make you say “wow” all day long. NXTPAPER technology is designed to be easy on your eyes, with flicker-free dimming and a special textured matte layer that keeps glare down and visibility high.
TCL often sells this as an e-reader alternative since the phone has “NXTPAPER modes” that alter the screen’s color for a gentler reading experience. Not only that, but the textured matte display looks and feels a lot like an e-reader, although you can’t fully turn off the backlight like you can on a Kindle. But the 120Hz refresh rate makes it feel so much smoother than E Ink, and that’s a great look for everything else you’ll want to use this awesome phone for.
