Pros & Cons

What we like

  • Matte NXTPAPER Pure display cuts glare and reflections
  • T-Pen Pro stylus included (8,192 pressure levels)
  • Thin 5.5 mm aluminium body at 500 g
  • 8,000mAh battery with 33W charging
  • 8GB RAM and 256GB storage

What we don’t

  • Only 300 nits typical brightness
  • Helio G100 is a mid-range chip
  • US price starts at $549.99, high for these specs
  • No Philippine price or sale date yet
  • Keyboard cover and flip case sold separately

The Pipino Verdict

The Note A1 NXTPAPER suits students and professionals who read and take handwritten notes and want a matte, paper-like screen. The Helio G100 chip and 300 nits brightness are modest for the price. Based on specs and brand data, not our own hands-on testing.
