Mobile World Congress is in full swing, and TCL has officially launched its new NXTPaper 11 Plus tablet. This handheld is designed with cutting-edge display technology that’s much easier on the eyes thanks to features like Smart Eye Comfort Mode and Personalized Eye Comfort Mode. This tablet makes it significantly easier to read in bed without searing your retinas just before falling asleep.

The consensus regarding display technology and its ease on the eyes is nonexistent. There are as many opinions as there are display types, and while some people argue that e-ink is the way to go, others say a blue light filter is all you need. The NXTPaper 11 Plus takes that a step further with its custom modes.

The Smart Eye Comfort Mode adjusts the contrast, color temperature, brightness, and other settings based on different use cases. For example, watching videos would require a different array of settings than reading an ebook.

Personalized Eye Comfort Mode uses the same concept, but takes it a step further. It takes users’ preferences into account and adjusts color tones to reduce eye strain and fatigue.

However, the settings don’t stop there. The NXTPaper 11 Plus is TCL’s first AI-enabled tablet and comes with the kind of tools you’d expect, such as Text Assist and Writing Assist. It also supports the Circle to Search feature, as well as a smart memo mode that transcribes spoken words with impressive accuracy. It can also provide real-time subtitles, even on videos that don’t have any by default.

Its specs are nothing to scoff at, either. With an 11.5-inch, 2.2K display, the NXTPaper 11 Plus is easy on the eyes in more ways than one. It supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and boasts a color accuracy at 100% sRGB. The tablet is available in two different configurations: 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, or 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

It also sports an 8,000mAh battery and 33W charging to ensure you never run out of juice. The tablet is available starting at starting at 249 Euro, or roughly $260.

Amazon quietly upgrades its Fire HD 10 tablet with a whopping 1GB of RAM
Amazon really said, "Here's 1GB. You're welcome."
Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

Amazon has quietly refreshed one of its most popular tablets, but not in the way many expected. Instead of launching a brand-new Fire tablet after its longest product drought in years, the company has introduced a slightly upgraded version of the existing Fire HD 10 with an extra gigabyte of RAM.

The update is modest on paper, yet it arrives at an interesting time. Amazon hasn't introduced a new Fire tablet since the Fire HD 8 refresh in 2024, while products like the Fire 7 and Fire Max 11 have yet to receive successors. Rather than expanding its lineup, Amazon appears to be extending the life of an aging device with a minor hardware tweak.

Companion mode stays. Primary mode arrives. WhatsApp on iPad just became a lot more useful.
Computer, Electronics, Pc

If you’ve ever used WhatsApp on your iPad, you already know its limitations. You can’t set it up without a primary device, can’t share live location, and can't use the broadcast lists feature. 

That’s finally changing. WhatsApp’s latest update gives iPad users a long-due promotion. Rather than serving as an extension of your iPhone, it will soon become your main device.

Apple’s next iPad Pro may not look dramatically different, but it could get one upgrade that makes a lot of sense for an ultra-thin tablet. Better cooling.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models planned for spring 2027. The tablets are expected to keep the current 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes, while focusing mostly on internal improvements, including faster chips. Apple has also reportedly tested a vapor chamber cooling system for the iPad Pro, which could help improve sustained performance and reduce overheating.
