P.S. 2: The Jnote app that comes pre-installed is undoubtedly quite useful. Personally, I thought it could also function as a file manager, since you can create whatever folders you want, folders within folders, etc. HOWEVER, I have now discovered that you cannot import files into the Jnote app's folders unless they are PDFs. For example, I wanted to extract a rar file directly into a folder, but there is no way to move the rar into the Jnote folder. Nor can you move Word, jpg, or other files. This app only works with PDFs; in the end, its job is not as a file manager. I mention this to warn you not to buy it for 16-17 euros if you think you will use it as a file manager. Unless, of course, you want it for the other conveniences it offers for note-taking, etc. I now use the classic Google app for file management.

P.S.: In the end, maybe the company intentionally does not sell tempered glass for this particular tablet. Its matte screen is truly a masterpiece compared to any other tablet with a typical screen you may have used. Besides being very easy on the eyes, the most important thing is that it does not reflect any light or sunlight. If you put tempered glass on it, you would essentially cancel out all the fantastic technology of the matte screen. So even if a glass protector comes out in the market in the future, I personally will definitely not use it.

Professional musician here, pianist mainly involved with classical music. A relatively long post follows for those interested.

For musicians whose main criterion for buying a tablet is primarily value for money with a screen size about the size of an A4 sheet, this particular tablet at 14.3 inches is the only way to go.

At the price I bought it (380 euros), it came with a case and a pen for writing (but make sure to ask the store first, because it is also sold without the case and pen, as a friend told me who bought them separately and paid more in total, as far as I remember).

On the positive side, I’ll mention the size, where the only serious competitor is Samsung, which is at 14.6 inches. I was really torn about getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab that would cost over 1000 euros. And even though I had the money, I really reconsidered. I thought that a tablet with such high-end features as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9/S10/S11 would simply be overkill for the functions I need it for, i.e., surfing, emails, YouTube, (rarely social media), and mainly reading PDF scores. And fortunately, I was right.

This particular TCL tablet, I can't say it's blazing fast. But it never lags. Simply, to be able to have the price it has (380-400 euros, that's what I paid), it couldn't have an amazing processor. But for the functions I mentioned, it's really just fine, and I say this coming from a tablet with a noticeably better processor and certainly much faster operation and command speed (meaning, in the end, the speed and response of the TCL for the functions I mentioned did not bother or tire me at all - I haven’t tried playing games on it, by the way).

It also has a matte screen which is really very beautiful and comfortable for reading for many hours. It also has many different functions for reading, like placing the tablet horizontally, for example, so you can have a 2-page read mode, etc. You can even make the screen black and white to 100% mimic an A4 paper sheet. And of course, there are many other functions I haven’t had time to explore yet.

For those who get spammed that forScore on iPad/Apple is the top score program, etc., don’t worry. Obviously, it’s very good, but again, we’re talking about 1400+ euros if you want a large tablet, which, by the way, only goes up to 13 inches for the largest Apple model. For Android, there are two good programs for scores and organization that I have found: "Mobilesheets" and "scorePDF". I have no first-hand experience with forScore on Apple, so I can't compare.

The pen is really very comfortable, very precise, and convenient. The only negative is that although it fits inside the case and stays there normally, it does so with a magnet on the left side of the tablet, which is not very strong. As a result, as long as you are not using the tablet and the case is closed, there is no risk of it falling, but when you open the case to play/read, moving the tablet can cause it to detach from the magnet. So be a little careful not to drop it while using it.

One negative I have to mention is that there is almost no support for peripherals from third-party companies. For example, I am looking for tempered glass to put on it and I can't find any for this model. Also, just for fun, I looked for cases (even though the one it comes with is very good and sturdy - no complaints!) and again, there is nothing....

The truth is that this is a relatively unknown tablet to the general public, as its target group is mainly people who want a good tablet for reading and note-taking at a budget price.

It also comes with a spare pen tip as well as a kind of clip for the pen, which you probably stick outside the case and it has a hole that holds the pen very well. However, I still haven’t found where to stick it without it getting in the way when I want to open the case 180 degrees...

As for durability, it’s still too early to say. However, it is by far the most professional tablet for musicians that you can find at this budget (which, as I said, in my opinion, competes just fine with much more expensive ones – I might even say it surpasses them in terms of options, settings, etc., exclusively for reading and writing).

Regarding battery life, it seems quite reliable. In a 2-hour live performance, the battery dropped from 97% to only 82%, with brightness at about 50% throughout the live.

As for brightness, I haven’t tried using it outdoors in sunlight yet. I think its maximum brightness is just fine as I see it and judge it, but if your job is as a street musician or you play on a floor without a roof/ceiling and the sun is hitting you, you might want to test it yourself up close before buying, as I have no opinion on this matter to speak confidently.

Finally, let me say, for those who don’t know, that TCL’s NXTPAPER technology (which is also present in other products, tablets, and smartphones) has been awarded and has received distinctions at the CES Innovation Awards 2024 and 2025 (not specifically the NXPAPER 14 product, but TCL’s NXTPAPER technology in general).

I literally recommend it with my eyes closed for musicians. In closing, let me say that I come from an 11-inch screen, and the difference with 14.3 inches is much greater than I expected. Now I read much more comfortably. So, prioritize screen size if you need to buy a new tablet! Especially if you are involved with classical music and read more demanding scores and not just lead sheets and guides/lyrics.

Sorry for the long post and if I repeat myself in some places. I hope I helped those who are undecided!

+ Wonderful huge matte screen without reflections, fantastic colors. Lots of options to make it as comfortable as you want depending on usage (reading books, magazines, writing, video, photos, day/night etc.)
+ As fast as needed for its intended use, i.e. PDFs, notes, office apps, drawing etc. Personally, I got it to replace books and piano scores and to take notes on them, flawless.
+ Very clean Android, almost nothing unnecessary.
+ Very good sound.
+ Quality metal construction, you feel like you are holding an expensive product without it being heavy for its size. The same goes for the active pen and the included case. The case is actually magnetic and turns the tablet screen on/off when opening/closing, while the pen magnetically attaches to the side of the tablet and is secured by the case during transport.

- If you want it mainly for outdoor use in sunlight, its maximum brightness might not be enough for you. For every other scenario, no problem.
- For the uses I mentioned above, also consider the cost of the apps. The most effective ones are not free, and the tablet does not include its own.
- I suppose due to the extra screen coatings, the viewing angles are a bit low. Personally, I don't consider it a problem, because its main uses, I feel, are for personal work, and not, e.g., group viewing.

Edit: Almost a year later, I wouldn't change a word. It remains flawless and like new, despite daily use.
