The TCL NxtPaper 70 Pro phone is the latest addition to TCL's paper-like display lineup and T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile are both launching it in the US with hard-to-ignore offers that can nab you the phone for free.
The NxtPaper 70 Pro builds on what made previous devices popular, making it compatible with a pressure-sensitive T-Pen stylus for a natural writing experience alongside the familiar paper-like reading experience. The 50-megapixel main camera and 32-megapixel selfie camera are complemented by TCL's new MuseFilm technology, which adds bokeh and cinematic effects to photos.
The Metro by T-Mobile deal is the more straightforward of the two. Port your number over, sign up for the $50 or $60 monthly plan, show your ID and the NxtPaper 70 Pro is yours for free via instant discount. You can take advantage of this for up to four lines, and existing Metro customers adding a line are eligible too with a qualifying plan.
The T-Mobile offer has a few ways to save. You can purchase the device on a monthly payment plan and either add a new line or be an existing customer on an eligible plan. New members need to join an Experience Beyond, More or Essentials plan, while existing members on qualifying plans receive up to $301 back via 24 monthly bill credits. Alternatively, you can get the phone for free on any plan when trading in an eligible phone in any condition. If none of those offers work for you, you can pay in full for the phone and get it for just $200. Even by budget phone standards, that's extremely affordable.

Why this deal matters
For anyone already considering a carrier switch or a new phone, the timing here is pretty good. Getting a newly launched device that comes with stylus compatibility, solid cameras and TCL's signature paper-like display for free is a compelling offer, especially if you've been curious about the lineup but haven't had a reason to try it yet. It's not going to compete with Samsung flagships or the latest iPhones for performance, but it's definitely available at a price that is likely to turn heads.
