The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro is 2026’s favorite budget-friendly phone, a title that’s more important than ever with the ever-increasing onslaught of technology price hikes. However, TCL and Amazon have made this fantastic phone even better by lowering the price down to just $259.99saving $70 off the regular unlocked phone price.
This last part is important because as long as you can get the phone For $199 or less from T-Mobilethat cheaper price tag comes with caveats like a service contract and a carrier-locked device. This Amazon price is fully unlocked and ready to go with any carrier of your choice.
Plus, if you haven’t tried the NXTPAPER display yet, you’re in for a treat. Like I said TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro review“If you like to read, are looking for a less flickering display than OLED, want something non-reflective and textured, or just enjoy the soft glow of LCD (versus the harshness of OLED), this is the display you’ll love.”
Recommended if: You need a cheap phone that’s better than others at this price, or you need a flicker-free screen that’s not as dense as OLED.
❌ Skip this contract if: You can’t put up with bad haptics or settle for a cheaper carrier version from T-Mobile or Metro.
The NXTPAPER 70 Pro is the first North American phone to launch with NXTPAPER 4.0 display technology, which was previously only offered on the global NXTPAPER 60 Ultra phone. But many people found the 60 Ultra to be too big of a phone, so the 70 Pro slims things down a bit to make the overall package nicer to use.
Also, I was impressed with how fast this phone is. I’m used to phones in this price range exhibiting stuttering and lag, but the 70 Pro exceeded all my expectations. It even has a great camera system on the back with a main and ultra-wide lens, plus satellite connectivity and 5G speeds.
