Looking for a new phone with a great display but don't want to spend oodles of cash? TCL has your back with this mind-blowing sale on its latest NXTPAPER 3.0 phone, the TCL 60 XE, which is down to just $169 through Cyber Monday. That's nearly $100 off the already bargain basement price!
If you're not familiar with TCL's NXTPAPER technology, we've got a guide here that will walk you through its many advantages. In short, this unique display technology comes with an anti-reflective, matte layer applied on top of a diffused layer, giving the display a unique "paperlike" appearance.
✅Recommended if: You need a backup phone or a new phone for less, love reading on the go, or just want a phone with a display that's easier on your eyes than what Samsung or Google sells.
❌Skip this deal if: You need a phone with the fastest processor or best cameras. This phone will do all the basics and more, but it's not a high-end experience.
As this is a $169 phone, you shouldn't expect flagship performance or a phone that's going to play graphically-intensive games very well. But if you don't care about that, the TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER is a phenomenal choice for everyday use. Android Central's Managing Editor, Derrek Lee, agrees and said as much in our review.
"While not a flagship by any means, the TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER does stand out from the pack, thanks to the more eye-friendly display that can effectively transform the phone into an e-reader with the flip of a switch. I like to think of it as having a Boox Palma living inside your smartphone, which should appeal to anyone who likes to read but doesn’t want to carry a separate e-reader with them at all times."
And since this runs a modern version of Android, you can add any of your favorite Google Play apps to it, including eBook apps like Kindle, Kobo, Play Books, the Libby library app, and plenty more. And, unlike an E Ink e-reader, this one still looks good if you happen to want to watch a movie or TV show on it, too!
