**[TCL](https://technosports.co.in/?s=tcl)** has announced an 8-inch hybrid tablet, named NXTPAPER, which the company calls an “artistic combination of screen and paper.” We’ve called it hybrid as it looks like a cross between a tablet and an e-reader. The company had teased about the technology with its IFA 2020 announcements. As an e-reader, it features a full-color display without backlighting to reduce power consumption for comfortable viewing and reading experience, especially in a dark room.

This device offers an 8.88-inch (1440 x 1080 pixels) screen that uses a reflective design to “reuse” natural light. So, there will be no flickering or blue light that can strain your eyes.

Additionally, this device runs on the [Android 10 OS](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Android+10+) and includes support for [Google Assistant](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Google+Assistant).
