The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro has dropped to its lowest-ever price just in time for the holiday shopping season. The unlocked model is now available for $279—$50 off its regular price—while early Black Friday deals are underway, running through November 30. This $279 price point matches the phone’s previous best, and it’s unlikely this unlocked variant will go any lower this year.
What Makes It Stand Out
TCL’s latest mid-range phone is built around its NXTPAPER display technology, which features a textured matte layer to reduce glare and a flicker-free dimming mode—especially useful during long reading sessions. While it doesn’t fully replicate the eye-dimming blackness of a Kindle when idle, its NXTPAPER modes shift the screen’s tones for a gentler reading experience. And unlike most e-readers, this phone packs a 120Hz refresh rate that makes everything from scrolling to gaming feel smooth.
Beyond the display, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro delivers solid performance and battery life, along with strong camera capabilities and extra features that set it apart from budget rivals. It manages to blend functionality with comfort, particularly for users who spend hours reading or browsing on their phone.
Deal Details and Timing
This early sale is part of TCL’s broader Black Friday rollout. The unlocked NXTPAPER 70 Pro is seeing its all-time low price, and the deal runs through November 30. For shoppers who wait, this might be the last chance this year to get this model for under $300.
The phone is widely seen as one of the top choices in its segment. The display alone puts it in rare company—offering something reminiscent of an e-reader without sacrificing refresh rates or overall smartphone performance.
Why this matters: with budget phones often sacrificing display quality or comfort, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro carves out a niche. For users who want strong eye comfort without giving up speed or visuals, this deal makes the value especially compelling.
