The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus is an Android tablet that comes with a stylus and flip case for only $224, thanks to a 39% Amazon Prime Day deal. The original price was $370, and it's worth every penny, so a $146 discount is a steal.

As a tablet, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus rivals those at three times its price. Its 11.5-inch display features TCL's Nxtpaper technology, a matte display that can switch from full color to an E-Ink-like screen with a shortcut. This means you can go from using your tablet to stream or play, like you would any other, to using it as an e-reader with a black-and-white or color paper look.

Aside from the changing Nxtpaper feature, the 11 Plus' display has a 2.2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Because it's so light and the display looks so great, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus has become my go-to entertainment tablet -- the powerful quad speakers also play a role.

Review: TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus

I whip out this tablet whenever I want to stream something while I'm working with my hands, and I can take it right after to read before bed. The paper-like display is easy on my eyes, so the tablet helps me avoid eye strain, and the 8,000 mAh battery lasts me almost all day.

Inside the tablet, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus features 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, giving you plenty of room for light work and entertainment. The MTK Helio G100 octa-core processor powers it.

Overall, this is the most versatile tablet I've used, and it's powerful enough to not randomly crash or slow down on me. A buggy performance is something you often see with affordable Android tablets, but I haven't experienced this in months of using the Nxtpaper 11 Plus.

How I rated this deal

This 39% discount offers some of the best value for money on a tablet you won't regret buying, especially at $224. This is one of the lowest prices we've ever seen on the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus, and it's also a great time to buy one, which is why I've rated this deal a 4/5.
