Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event does not officially begin until October 6, but TCL is getting an early start with a four-day sale on its NXTPAPER tablets, phones, and CrystalClip earbuds. The first round of discounts runs from October 1 through October 4, followed by deeper price cuts on select items during Prime Big Deal Days on October 6 and 7.
The main draw is TCL’s NXTPAPER range, which uses matte, paper-like displays designed to reduce glare and blue-light exposure while retaining full color. That makes the devices a more interesting option than a standard glossy tablet or phone for readers, students, note-takers, and anyone who spends too much time scrolling through guides, Discord, and patch notes after the rest of the house has gone to bed.
Every NXTPAPER tablet included in the sale will also come with a free stylus and flip case, which improves the value considerably. Buying the accessory bundle separately has always been one of the less charming rituals attached to tablet shopping.
The biggest tablet discount belongs to the TCL Note A1 NXTPAPER. Normally $599.99, the 11.5-inch note-taking tablet will drop to $499.98 during the early sale, a $100 reduction. TCL’s NXTPAPER 14 is also worth watching for players and creators looking for a larger second screen, dropping from $469.99 to $349.98. Other tablet highlights include the NXTPAPER 11 Plus at $239.99, down from $369.99, and the Tab A1 NXTPAPER at $229.99, down from $299.99. The latter offers an 11-inch 2.1K NXTPAPER display in a slimmer, more portable package.
TCL is also discounting its NXTPAPER smartphones. Highlights include the 128GB NXTPAPER 70 Pro at $279.99, with the 512GB model dropping to $349.99. The 60XE NXTPAPER 5G, TCL’s more budget-conscious option, will start at $179.99 for the 128GB version.
For a lower-cost accessory pickup, the open-ear CrystalClip earbuds fall from $79.99 to $69.99 during the early sale. TCL rates them for up to 36 hours of total playback, while the Swarovski CrystalClip edition will be reduced from $149.99 to $129.99.
The strongest deals are reserved for October 6 and 7, so shoppers who do not need a new device immediately may want to ignore the early discount and wait two extra days. The sale also gives TCL an early chance to make its case before the usual flood of competing Prime Big Deal Days hardware promotions begins.
