Plus, you can save even more if you\u2019ve got an old phone to trade in. Take advantage of these savings sooner rather than later, though, as there\u2019s no telling how long this deal will last.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the affordable price tag, the Nxtpaper 70 Pro is built for more than just the basics. It\u2019s got a respectable 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and it\u2019s equipped with a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 processor that supports helpful AI features like real-time translation, Circle to Search and more.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s designed to double as a versatile e-reader. The 6.9-inch full HD display has a 120Hz refresh rate and offers four viewing modes. There\u2019s the Standard view for everyday use, Color Paper mode for comics and artwork, Ink Paper mode for reading wherever and a Max Ink mode that extends the battery life for up to seven days.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re curious about how the Nxtpaper 70 Pro stacks up against other budget-friendly models, you can also check out our experts\u2019 list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/best-cheap-phone\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/best-cheap-phone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best cheap phones of 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatives you might like<\/p>\n<p>If you want something that\u2019s a little more phone-forward, the Samsung Galaxy A57 is another great pick for those on a budget.
