Buying call

Buy the NXTPAPER 70 Pro if you read a lot on your phone and want a matte, low-glare screen: TCL US lists 128GB at $259.99 (down from $329.99) and 256GB at $289.99 (Oct 7, 2026), and T-Mobile and Metro sell it for $199.99. You get a 6.9-inch 120Hz NXTPAPER 4.0 LCD, IP68, a 5,200mAh battery, microSD up to 2TB and T-Satellite support, and Android Central praised its eye comfort and battery life. Skip it if you keep phones for years or care about photos, because Android Central counts about two years of OS updates, there's no telephoto lens or wireless charging, and TCL rates its 33W charging at about 75 minutes for a full charge. Android Central also found weak haptics, bloatware on carrier models and a screen that's harder to read in direct sun.
