Back in September, TCL launched the Tab A1 NXTPAPER in the US. Now the company has partnered with Barnes and Noble to launch a co-branded version of the tablet. This variant will cost $249.99, which is the same launch price as the original. The original model currently sells for $229.98 on TCL’s website.
This version of the TCL Tab A1 NXTPAPER features an anti-glare 11-inch display, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (can be expanded up to 2TB via microSD), and an 8000mAh battery. You also get a 5MP front camera, an 8MP rear camera, a MediaTek Helio G100 chip, IP54 protection, Bluetooth 5.0, Android 16, and quad stereo speakers. If this all sounds familiar, it’s because these are the same specs that the original touts.
