TCL's NXTPAPER 70 Pro Lands in the U.S. for $199 on T-Mobile and Metro

Overview

• TCL launched the NXTPAPER 70 Pro in the United States at $199 through T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile.
• The phone’s NXTPAPER screen uses a matte, paper-like layer to cut glare and blue light, and a side key switches Color Paper, Ink Paper, and Max Ink modes.
• The hardware package includes a 6.9-inch 120Hz IPS LCD, MediaTek Dimensity 7300, Android 16, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, IP68 water and dust resistance, a 5,200 mAh battery, 33W charging, and 50MP main plus 8MP ultrawide cameras.
• Reviewers note trade-offs such as no telephoto camera, a USB 2.0 port, and the lack of TCL’s newer AMOLED-based NXTPAPER, along with questions about Android update cadence.
• Some early checks found carrier pages not yet listing the phone for orders, and the $199 price undercuts mid-range rivals like Motorola’s $499 Moto G Stylus.
