Budget phones usually ask buyers to give something up, whether it is screen quality, battery life, camera performance, or durability. TCL’s new NXTPAPER 70 Pro looks like it is trying to change that by offering a long list of extras at a price that stays easy on the wallet.
As announced by T-Mobile, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro costs just $200, but it still includes 5G, a large 6.9-inch display, a 120Hz refresh rate, and TCL’s NXTPAPER 4.0 screen technology. That display has a matte look and also includes special modes like Color Paper Mode and Ink Paper Mode, which can make the phone more appealing to people who spend a lot of time reading or browsing on their screens.
TCL is also checking off a lot of boxes that T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile shoppers usually have on their wish list. The phone includes a 50-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, a 5,200mAh battery, 33W fast charging, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. It also offers 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with expandable storage for people who need more room.
Other details help round out the package. The NXTPAPER 70 Pro supports Bluetooth Auracast, runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, and ships with Android 16. TCL also says the battery can last up to seven days in Reading Mode, and the device supports an optional stylus for users who want a little more flexibility.
For shoppers comparing low-cost phones, the TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro may stand out because it does not focus on just one big selling point. Instead, it tries to offer a little bit of everything, including a large display, a durable build, and a feature set that looks stronger than what you might expect for $200.
