This was by far the best review I've seen for a device. You focused on the key aspects for what it's trying to be first THEN reviewed the other tablet aspects. I'm looking to get this specifically to read Manga, Graphic Novels and Light Novels so seeing you cover these examples was so appreciated! Awesome review!!
Cool! I'm very interested, but I'm worried that it really is an LCD with background lighting and not feeling like a genuine e-ink. Have you used real e-paper before and can compare the two technologies?
Do you use it for taking notes? Is it good? Does the pen lag or something? I heard from someone that videos over 450p quality glitching is it the same for you too?
I bought it. Personally I really like it. I was sceptical from all the videos so I just went to store, tested it there and liked what I've seen. THIS IS NOT AN EBOOK READER - if you're expecting that you might be very disappointed, what this is, it's a TABLET first with very special screen adjusted for reading, if it wasn't obvious enough from all the video reviews. It's a screen with milky soft matte colors and light that goes easy on your eyes, so it's more enjoyable for reading than rest of the tablet lcd screens, but at the end of the day it's still a tablet and not an e-ink. It's especially great if you're a comic books fan, if you're that I would say go for it, but as for standard books, don't rush into it. Just because I like it, might not be the case for everyone, so if you're reading this and were like me, going over dozen of UA-cam videos to see should you threw your money into this.. I really suggest you find a way to look at it first in the store on something. I like it but it's not for everyone.
just got it with a black friday lightning deal on amazon for 180. Also own a nova 3, and a note air 2 plus and so far I really like it. Sometimes you just get tired of how limited a epaper device is.
The issue for me is I don't get any benefit of sunlight readability. It looks great in moderately lit environments but outside it will either be unreadable or chew through battery in no time.
The reading experience looks quite nice for an LCD, and honestly I think I'd very much prefer this to an iPad. And considering at it's current price point of $239 it's even cheaper than picking up a discounted last gen iPad, plus comes bundled with the pen, seems like a solid deal if one isn't specifically looking for e-ink.
Agree! After watching e-ink development for a couple years, I pulled the trigger on this device. With the money I saved I can justify replacing this with an actual e-ink tablet in a couple years when that technology may be ready for prime time.
If you're using an iPad for reading, why limit yourself to a last gen model? Especially considering ipads get supported for multiple years. You could even get a refurbished mini 4th gen for under $230. I saw an Air 2 for under $150(Best Buy US prices).
Wow, I'm glad that I stumbled up this tablet. I just bought a Kindle Scribe. I am going to return it as I have a smaller Kindle Paperwhite. This TCL Nxtpaper 11 will serve me better.
Despite the misleading title of "epaper", I bought the nxtpaper 11 two days ago and I love it. The eye comfort mode and reading mode makes this tablet a really affordable ereader (200 euros in my local shop). I mainly read art books so I really like the colour without experiencing eye strain. Waiting for the pen to arrive today. Yes I love iPads and e-readers (I had an onyx boox max 2 in the past), but this nxtpaper 11 feels right for me. I think it should be considered seriously and not dismissed straight away. In my opinion the manufacturer have made an effort to make the screen comfortable, it's not just an LCD tablet with a Matt screen protector slapped on it. Perhaps TCL will consider renaming the product and this tablet should be considered for its own merits. It may not appeal to everyone but this tablet offers me some benefits that neither an iPad pro or an e-reader can offer. In addition the lower price tag makes it an attractive option.
Looks pretty interesting. I'll start my masters in 2 weeks and I think this TCL will be good to read books with colorful charts and of course it has a great advantage of taking care of our eyes during loooong coursework ✌
I own another model by TCL with the same screen, NXTPAPER 12 PRO, and I can assure you the readability is more than good. It's by no means compared to e-ink, but you can clearly see everything in the room full of windows when it's sunny outside.
i have a dual display watch from mobvoi, and am wondering when will we get something similar for the epaper scene? LCD could light up only for adding color, light or fast contents, but when in epaper mode, the display now sips battery juice.
So it's an IPS LCD tablet that has a grayscale mode... amazing.... But OK, the screen blocking that much light is sure nice - but could you please test it under real sunlight conditions? Can you actually use this in bright daylight? Because that is what I expect from anything calling itself "e-paper" or "e-ink".
If you want sunlight readability while also being able to watch videos the Eyemoo S1 is really great. I love my BOOX Nova Air C but for browsing the Eyemoo wins.
@@lukastux3024 ePaper (not eInk) is a rather loosely used term that I usually saw for LCD technology so for me it's the same. What TCL calls ePaper is a normal LCD where they reduced reflections it seems. Real eInks biggest difference is that it's pretty slow
This could actually be a good replacement for my Boox reader. It's still working ok for the most part, but it's showing it's age. I'd like some color sometimes. Comics are not as fun without color :)
Good review as always with good explanations. Tcl should be berated for not making this clear that thisbis not eink; but should be commended for taking lcd tablets to the next level.
I'm not convinced yet. I am looking at an e-reader for the ease on my eyes, weight, and paper feel with the ability to make notes, E-ink still feels like the right way to go, e-colour is catching up IMO, an excellent review.
It’s definitely more compelling than I was expecting. I hope we see Apple and the rest of the tablet makers doing similar things. And presumably there’s no reason why they couldn’t do the same with other types of devices.
I bought this a few weeks ago, must say I'm pretty happy overall. I never got the pen bundled with though, any chance you can drop some links on to places to buy the t-pen separately, and some close-up shots of it? I'm currently using an old Jot Dash 2 which kinda works, but it's not great.
How's your experience so far? I've read some concerning reviews when it comes to UA-cam video watching, for example. And did you find any accesories? I cannot find the pen or the case anywhere (Europe)
Can you tell me if this is different than having a matte screen protector on an iPad? I genuinely didn’t understand the differences between this and normal LCD tablets with say a matte screen protector
Hello! I may have missed it, but sounds like one would need to buy the stylus separately. Do you know where that can be purchased? I couldn't find it in the TCL store site, and doing a search brings up a lot of different options, which seems weird, as the reviews suggest there is only one pen that is compatible. Thank you! Great review overall.
It was interesting to see this especially I'm in a tough choice now between or a ink colour tablet or a simple tablet so thank you for such a good work
It just really seems like a normal tablet with a mattish screen protector on it. On my eReaders I always like to invert the Black and white to be even easier on my eyes because my eyes are super sensitive after having cataract surgery on both my eyes.
Hey, nice video! Just a couple of questions I would like to ask: - is this a reflective LCD screen? - how is visibility outdoors under direct sunlight? - does it have backlight or frontlight? - is it visible outdoors having back/front light set to zero? Thanks!
I am interested in buying one of these for digital art also, my concern is the fact that it has only 4gb of ram and I don't know if that will be enough.
I think this would be great for people, like students, who need a tactile feel of paper under their writing experience, but need more functionality than what the true e-paper/e-ink devices of today can offer. (Maybe they’ll be more capable in the future as the technology advances)
I do like the idea of a matte screen to reduce glare. That could be good for capturing drone footage since being outside lends itself to a lot of reflections showing up on most screens. However, this TCL NXTPAPER is too big to use with a drone controller.
This was by far the best review I've seen for a device. You focused on the key aspects for what it's trying to be first THEN reviewed the other tablet aspects. I'm looking to get this specifically to read Manga, Graphic Novels and Light Novels so seeing you cover these examples was so appreciated! Awesome review!!
I bought the tablet and I'm super satisfied, with low light and the "lecture mode" the reading experience is good!!

hey Denver, I wanne use this before sleep. any adv ice? as blue light is bad
@@hendrikvanbrantegem7526 there's an option to cut the blue light
Seeing non e-paper devices making an effort to be less aggressive on the eyes is a good step forward.
just got it with a black friday lightning deal on amazon for 180. Also own a nova 3, and a note air 2 plus and so far I really like it. Sometimes you just get tired of how limited a epaper device is.
sorry I meant 160.
Que tal te ha ido con lecturas prolongadas en el exterior con la tablet nxtpaper 11 en comparación con los e readers que mencionaste?
How is it for writing notes?

Why saying “e paper” in the title, when it’s not an epaper device?
We covered all this in two videos already
TCL is naming and marketing it as such even though it's 100% deceiving and wrong.
because they sent him the sample ..
Sent us the sample. There are 40+ people who work here.
i didnt really mean to insult ..
Excellent Review (as always). It looks like a pretty slick unit. It looks like they really put thought into the comfort of the user.
TCL devices are so underrated, I am using TCL mobile and the experience is just wonderful 💯
Overall, I think the TCL NXTPAPER 11 is a promising tablet. I'm excited to see how it performs in real-world use.

What’s the outside experience like? That was mentioned at the beginning but wasn’t tested.
Exactly. I don't care how good their LCD is as long as I don't know if it actually manages to be well readable in daylight.
I own another model by TCL with the same screen, NXTPAPER 12 PRO, and I can assure you the readability is more than good. It's by no means compared to e-ink, but you can clearly see everything in the room full of windows when it's sunny outside.
It looks pretty decent. I wonder if other brands will start to use this technology
I wish my like button was worth 10x because I was thinking the same thing
It still looks so good. I'm on the fence about getting an e-reader or tablet but this video makes me lean closer to getting one

They are not payed for an honest review, but for reinforcement of false advertising.
The GOAT e-ink channel is back in action with their new giveaway. Thank you as usual.
It hasn't changed my mind, thanks for the review, but I'll be buying the real e-ink tablet

What would you say is the big difference between e-paper and reflective or transreflective LCD?

Where did u find the stylus pen i cant find it anywhere
This review was 1 of the best ivseen in many years. Really wants to buy this now.
So glad for color e-reader development direction, now we have more choice

Color ePaper incoming guys... The tech is getting better and better
I am have liked, subscribed and shared this video. :) So excited and hoping to have this tablet from you
So... I just buy a (galaxy) tab and put a matt screen foil on it?
Good luck to everyone participating in the contest
la compre hace unos días y me encanta ! Gracias por el video, lo único malo es que en Argentina no consigo el lápiz y no puedo vincularle el s pen
Thank you for always making thorough reviews!
Very nice review! Good to see other companies trying to compete in the tablet market. Thanks!
Nice! Color is getting better!
Good review. This will be my next tablet.
Cant wait it be ready in my hometown (Indonesia) ✨🎉. I shared this video also with my friends n fams. Hope they know how useful this technology 😊.
Thanks for a very thorough review. This looks like a great device for my needs.

Love all your informational videos. This is really informative and awesome. Thank you!
Is this device powerful enough to run drawing software?

how is this on eyes for reading? I'm looking to buy this to read pdfs as lcd gives me headaches
Peter how is the output outside in the sun. Same as other small tabs?
Hey, nice video!
Just a couple of questions I would like to ask:
- is this a reflective LCD screen?
- how is visibility outdoors under direct sunlight?
- does it have backlight or frontlight?
- is it visible outdoors having back/front light set to zero?
Thanks!
That is beautiful and the comic is so crisp!
Excellent review as always
If this is Android, how does it do running Krita? Does the pen have sensitivity?
I am interested in buying one of these for digital art also, my concern is the fact that it has only 4gb of ram and I don't know if that will be enough.
Looks like a great device for reading color comics
but for B&W comics and standard books, I'll stick with eink
Great work on the channel guys. Love seeing the in depth reviews of eink devices
I think this would be great for people, like students, who need a tactile feel of paper under their writing experience, but need more functionality than what the true e-paper/e-ink devices of today can offer. (Maybe they’ll be more capable in the future as the technology advances)
Will it have the same easy on the eye property as normal e-ink?.
Hola, como te fue respondiendo esa pregunta?
Good work from TCL and you
Looks pretty good for a coloured feature one. Also, the functionality is pretty neat
Looks nice and looking forward to trying one out.
What ever happened to their nxtpaper rlcd tech that was supposed to come out?
The matte on top is a great idea. I much prefer the feel of that over writing on a "normal" screen.
I do like the idea of a matte screen to reduce glare. That could be good for capturing drone footage since being outside lends itself to a lot of reflections showing up on most screens. However, this TCL NXTPAPER is too big to use with a drone controller.
There's TCL 40 NXTPAPER phone tho
Love the review, very interesting topic!
It looks awesome! I had a kindle once and I liked too much but unfortunately was broken. This epaper seems to be a great option.
Good review. So it's pretty much like a regular tablet with a matte screen protector. I think I still prefer an e-ink reader.
Looks great, would love to give it a try
Looks nice, I’m looking forward to upgrade to a colour one
I already own a couple of ereaders but I've been looking for a tablet for a long time... this seems like a good option
This looks neat. I've been looking at these.
Did he forget to take it outdoors?😢
No, different video on that in the future
I wish i had enough money to buy all the things you review. This thing looks so cool
looks interesting, but im not sure if this is enough for me to want to buy it over the onyx boox tab c.
the pen alone makes me hesitate.
thanks for the review, it looks like a neat tablet
Where can one buy this tablet? It's impossible to find online in Canada.
Full color e-paper hyped my expectation, but still lcd hurts so a no no for me.
But still I guess it has better usage than regular lcds
Looks good, but why did they use such a weak processor? Id like one with a stronger processor.
Very interresting. I hope we will see this adapted by other companies.
4:00 Interesting trick with the viewing angles. I will probably wait until the second iteration of this device.
Looks Good, will give it a try
Very interesting. I used a monitor with a matte finish a long time ago. I liked it.
Great review. I'd like to try it.
Why are all of the nxtpaper tablet options out of stock in the US, and when will they be available in the US
How is the reflectivity outside? I am not sure the LCD is good for my use
Supposedly it uses a transflective display which would look great in sunlight... but I can't for the life of me find anybody actually testing it!
reading in dark screen mode will help save on battery?
Nice video. Keep 'em coming.
That screen looks mesmerizing, I wish I can have this tablet haha
Looks perfect for reading comic books and manga
Matte screen and nxtvision seems a cool experience
I am sick of the low contrast of my Oasis. I’d rather read on my iPad. This tablet seems to offer the best of both worlds.
Is it as inoffensive to to the eyes, blue light wise, as e-Ink?
Hola, como te fue respondiendo esa pregunta?
@@joseluismaldonado7682 Aún sin respuesta
If this is e paper then you can make anything e paper with a matte screen protector
At least, it's the most eye-friendly of that cathegory, and the price is fine! Guess I'll get one eventually
Would you suggest this tablet for children? I was thinking about getting something like this for my daughter
So it's filtered to mimic epaper without the benefits of epaper (reading in sunlight for example). No thanks.
