Massive Paper-Like Display
At the heart of the NXTPAPER 14 is its 14.3-inch matte LCD screen, designed to feel like you’re reading from real paper. Thanks to NXTPAPER 3.0 technology, the display cuts glare and reduces eye strain. Three modes let you customize the experience:
- Default Color Mode for vibrant visuals.
- Color Paper Mode that mimics e-readers.
- Quasi E-Ink Mode for a more traditional reading vibe.
Decent Performance
The Helio G99 processor isn’t groundbreaking, but paired with 8GB of RAM, it’s more than capable of handling your everyday tasks—whether it’s watching Netflix, browsing the web, or casual gaming. The only downside? There’s no microSD card slot, so you’re stuck with the 256GB of storage.
Battery Life & Charging
No one likes charging all the time, right? Thankfully, the NXTPAPER 14 comes with a 10,000mAh battery to keep you going through long reading sessions or media marathons. When you do need to juice up, 33W fast charging gets you back up and running in no time. However, I will be a little stingy and demand a slightly faster charging like 60W.
Durability & Design
Accident-prone? No worries. The NXTPAPER 14 is rated IP54, so it’s resistant to dust and minor water splashes. It’s built to handle life’s little mishaps.
Pricing & Availability
The best part? It’s priced at just €399. So if you’re looking for a budget-friendly tablet with a huge, eye-friendly screen, the NXTPAPER 14 is a solid option.
